    Fancy Gap always gets them between the 2 and 3 mile marker northbound. I went by one that was blown over last week. They really need to install some sort of wind deflector in that area.

    Its easy driver, He was only using the hand brake. That or I bet he did not set the brakes. Just dreamed they were set and well the rest is history.

    Or he had to be one hell of big ### 600lb trucker, his big ### may have pushed in the buttons and not felt it when he bent over in the sleeper

    I just wonder if it may have been one of thise tiny sleepers. The ones that are only 2 feet wide. Doesnt matter what size you are, you have to be a contortionist to use them.

    Trucks were tired and decided to take a nap. Hey, Fancy Gap is a BIG hill, not everyone can just sprint up it in one shot.
