    Yep.

    There's wind, and then there's WIND. Contrary to popular opinion I have parked it due to high wind. Most notably when road closure signs get posted if I am high profile.

    Tandems to the back can do so much. What if your tandems were FORWARD with a gust strong enough to cause tandems back to lift those trailer tandems a foot off the ground? Methinks we would be seeing a thread titled, "Will anyone hire me with a rollover?"

    They'll shut down the Bay Bridge here completely at wind speeds well below that which would cause you guys concern out in Wyoming.

    My bosses and I had loooooooooong discussion after that trip. It was their idea to have me go the long way, because Wyo. had 25 and 85 closed, when we could have waited till the next day.
