geez..that's all the winds are supposed to be..??
what do you do when it "sprinkles"....
i cross over a bridge (well several every night, going north, then back south) if i were to stop for every "little wind" that goes over/under (crosswinds) those bridges, i might as well work as a chicken plucker....

i am empty..!!!Oscar the KW, TRKRSHONEY, SHC and 3 others Thank this. -

I have done this with empty doubles, but I did not like it. #### the Super Truckers, If I have to stop or slow down, it is my choice.

I like you mndriver but cmon don't let alittle wind slow you down.If this little female can do it then so can you.
Gizmo_Man and TRKRSHONEY Thank this. -
He must drive for a forgiving company.My company would know way know how let you stop bacause of the wind without fireing you once you get back to the terminal.Same with chaining.Only way they would let you get away with shuting down is if the roads are absolutely not passable.
