High winds, blown over, does this go on your driving record?

Yep that whole area is supposed to get pounded over the next few days... CO, WY, UT, ID, ECT

 

Yeah, I saw the Blizzard warning signs earlier. I have to drive back through it in the morning. When I booked this load the forecast was sunny and clear.

 

Yep...the suck factor is high. I hope any new drivers on this forum are watching this post.

 

First off a blow over accident is a single vehicle accident! The accident in most cases is going to be a chargeable accident on you. It will hit your MVR and your company in most cases is going to charge you with a preventable accident. Your accident will also be recorded on the carrier accident register. In most cases, you can expect a call to come have a chat with a safety critter. The biggest part of these accidents is the cleanups. I have seen blowover accidents take most of the day to clean up. A driver should try to identify the areas where the wind is a problem and avoid them.
