    8 rollovers today on I 10. 5 in the Desert Center area & 3 in Quartzite.
    Big monsoon storm when I came through last week and another today. Only saw 1 wrecker on site at the 110mm on the Eastbound side.

    Even when you have both hands on the steering wheel Mother Nature demonstrates who's really in control. Hope those drivers are upright and breathing.

    Sounds like I-40 between West Memphis and Little Rock, after a good ice storm; rigs in the median every 5 miles or so with the greasy side up. Not a good look.

    Went through there this afternoon, it was not good.

    Was stopped for a few minutes under an overpass. Wind was trying to blow me over as well.

    Will a sudden onslaught of wind causing you to roll end your career? I wonder.

    "Well see what had happened was...."

    Not 100% sure but I think if it's a act of mother nature it won't cost them their career. If it were to be determined that the rollover was caused by speed, reckless driving, and load shift, in most cases they'll get a pink slip.
