Do as the Romans do stranger....
One flops onto yonder side, you should do the same. And the one behind you as well. Flop flop flop.
What ever happened to the mindset when you see a truck get slammed down by a blast of wind, you quickly and with resolute strength apply service brake and put both hands on the 9 and 3 of your steering wheel. Hopefully when you and the gust meet your speed is down enough to keep most of your wheels on the pavement. Maybe. -

It satire-not meant to be taken seriously.
(#### shame about the Volvo in one of the photos).Bud A., HoneyBadger67 and Lepton1 Thank this. -
Now,I have a pretty good question.....do you van guys really need 13 feet 6 inch tall wagons? I know some freight is crammed in there to the ceiling,but how often? Isn't most of the pallets like only 4 foot tall of food,or paper or whatever.?
When I started,we had high cubes,but lots of 12foot 6 or 13 tall.much safer in high winds......plus I bet those silly side skirts aid in the toppling over.singlescrewshaker, Bud A., MIT and 2 others Thank this. -
Yes the height is needed... I pretty regularly haul a load that is literally 53 foot, floor to ceiling, nose to doors, totally cubed out.singlescrewshaker, Bud A., Lepton1 and 3 others Thank this. -
And it’s not just food. Industrial equipment,bottled water/drinks,washing machines/dryers,etc. You’d be surprised what’s hauled in reefer or dry vans nowadays.singlescrewshaker, Bud A., stayinback and 1 other person Thank this. -
Some days I’ve got it stacked floor to ceiling, front to back and can barely get the door closed.
Those are good days.Bud A., mp4694330, Cattleman84 and 2 others Thank this. -
Cattleman84 Thanks this.

Sounds like they really fill you guys up....I pulled a van before,but don't remember ever being "cubed out".... most of it was heavy loads only about 3/4 foot tall and about 40/45 feet of space
Lepton1, mjd4277 and Cattleman84 Thank this.
