    I've shut down in high winds, and then I sat at the truck stop second guessing my decision not to roll. And then I watch these videos and I realize it was the wise thing to do. Park it and wait for the wind to "blow over."

    It blows hard out there in SE Idaho, on some stretches of I-84 they have signs posted for Eastbound trucks to run the left lane in case they blow over so they go into the median and not on cars.

    A company can put anything on your DAC. And all accidents with a police report go on your CSA.
