    The wind on i30 in arkansas today was nuts. Trucks were being blown all over the place yet the trees weren't even moving. Total mind ####!

    I'm going from VA to NJ today and the winds are very high. I just shut down near Baltimore because of it.
    55-60 mph gusts and a light trailer sure don't mix. I would have shut down even if I was heavy with those wind speeds.

    From what my DM told me, the cop was not in the vehicle when it was crushed.
    Lucky for him.

    I was getting blown around pretty good today on the eastern spur of the turnpike once that trailer was empty. Seriously had my hands full with that steering wheel for a few minutes.
