light trailer advisory// only have 12k on, but weather station says 40-45mph

If the road is open in wyoming and you can manage it then you should go. Just drive slower. If you REALLY feel uncomfortable out there you can pull off at a rest area or even onto a ramp if absolutely necessary. Wyoming can get very bad, very fast. The wind is not likely to die down .... ever. If you wait til 5pm and it is now snowing and windy, then what? I would take driving in the daylight with wind over driving at night with snow, and likely the same or marginally less wind, at night. Your call.

 

Just drive slower, no cruise control, both hands on wheel... Take breaks because tension and nerves will tire you out quicker... Your comfort level will increase with experience. Just remember to have a healthy respect for it!!

I guess this this advise can pertain to not only wind, but snow, icy conditions and good old fashion rain

 

Slide your Tandems all the way back it will help some also.
Just don't forget they're back there if you're going to Cali or something.

 

the ADVISE NO LIGHT TRAILERS has been up for weeks. so you can either sit and hope that sometime before the year is over the sign goes off. or you can spread your wings and fly.

wyoming is always windy in that part. more then it's not windy. and if your only seeing 35 mph gusts. it's died down from 2 weeks ago when it was 65 mph.

my brother in law told me when i frst started driving was to go fast. the slower you go. the longer your a sitting target in the wind. faster, gets you through the wind sooner. being a rookie though. your going to be a little nervous so slow and steady, and breath deep. and be safe.

another member of the forum posted this very same dillemma over the weekend. wonder if he delivered yet or is still sitting there.

and if it snows. take it with you. i don't want that crap when i roll through this weekend.

 

and where's your load going. maybe you can detour through denver.

 

I was out there a couple weeks ago when it was really blowing.
As soon as the sun set it died right down and was safe to go.
