    55 mph crosswind is enough wind to blow over a dry van. One of the nice surprises about pulling a tanker is how little they are moved by crosswinds. Sometime the first indication I get of high winds is watching dry vans leaning or being buffeted.

    What about the time @x1Heavy tried to convince Chunk Norris that he actually has a wood burning air conditioner to keep him cool?

    And he walked to school through five feet of snow uphill both ways...

    ...but besides all that, he's my man.

    Merry Christmas y'all.

    Once I get in sustained winds over 75 mph, I only pull empty trailers. I back the brakes off or cage them and use the engine brake to slow down. It’s hypermiling for truck drivers, I usually average about 25 mpg,
