Moving to Cheyenne Wyoming

Yes there are locations in wyoming where the wind gets bad.... and the warnings go up before that happens. I drive empty vans across wyoming with ease. All of the dangerous locations have signs and windsocks. needing to Chain up in Cheyenne Wyoming, don't make me laugh.... Dealing with the spring time weather, where everybody over drives for conditions will be your larger concern.... just go and look for the 1 wrecks from this spring, on the HILL between laramie and cheyenne, and the one west of laramie... you can find them on TTR.

If you don't mind a short drive, there are lots of trucking jobs to the south of cheyenne, The brewery was mentioned, jbs in greeley, (yuk), More oil field in windsor, another Walmart/sams dc in loveland....

But us natives are so use to the wind, that when we have a calm day, we all fall down.

 

It's true. They have dangerously strong winds at times. The good thing is they have a pretty good warning system for bad weather and are always giving advisories. Cheyenne seems like a great place, Casper too......I've thought about moving out there.

 

Hey 19kM-1, for what it is worth (which probably isn't much,)...
I was working night shift down in the Imperial Valley in Calif. (I was a sheriff's deputy at the time.) Anyway I was stopped on a rise overlooking SR86 in the Salton City area, talking with someone. We both heard what we thought was the discharge of a shotgun. OK, rural area, not unusual to have a bit of shooting going on...
We continued our conversation when I noticed a large number of headlights backed up on the highway. When I got down there I found that an empty hay hauler, with doubles had his last trailer picked up by a gust of wind, and layed flat on the roadway! Of course his first trailer was pulled around and blocking the roadway.
Two folks in two different vehicles confirmed that the wind had caused the crash.
My only reason for making this long drawn out post, is to let you know that even flatbeds are susceptible to the wind! Wind shear is not just a problem for empty vans. (Or airplanes for that matter.)

 

Con-way, walmart, and I see a sign all the time at the pilot looking for fuel haulers for them. If the winds get too bad they will shut down the roads to trucks or light one's. I run up there some of the time doing regional runs out of denver..
The winter's can be brutal. We drive day cab's and the passenger seat has a tub full of winter gear. Insulated overall's, ski gloves, ski mask, back packer';s stove(for heat). And a sleeping bag. I've only had to use the sleeping bag once. fuel gel and shut down the truck and had to wait on a service truck to show up 3 hours later. That's a long time at -15*. But all the driver's do the same.

 

What appeals to you about Wyoming ?
