too much wind?

well it all depends on wight I run tankers and they don't blow around much in the wind even empty but a light or empty box sucks when I hauled shanntys way back when we parked once we had a 25mph cross wind

 

if your having problems keeping it in your lane much less the road its time to shut down if you dont feel safe then it isnt

 

Abjz got it!!!! been across elk mtn many times, a couple when I should have parked a empty set . but it's up to the driver.

 

Contrary to most companies belief, humans are more important than the load. If you feel like lives are in danger then shut it down. Your fellow drivers will appreciate it.

 

The company I am with states in their sop's that any load under 20k is considered a light load. When you feel the wind is moving your truck and looking in the mirrors you see the trailer even moving ........let alone tilting shut down.

Because consider this; if you roll-over you will be cited during unsafe conditions or just have as the company will call it " A Preventable Accident "

I drove pass Laramie one night and saw 5 trucks rolled over due to the gusts.......tha is one of the major things to be concerned about, because say if you have 20-30 mile and hour sustained winds the gusts can immediately jump to maybe twice that amount. So just for your own safety and self preservation of career when running that light be careful, pay attention and if necessary shut down..........

I remember going through Idaho and in one second it felt like someone tugged at my steering wheel. Like all road conditions approach with common sense. If my truck is easily being blown around I will slow down first and that usually helps. If it doesn't I shut down.

 

This would be funny, if it was not so true!
