Swerving trailor, heavy load????

i love those trailers. when its snow/ice on the side of the shoulder. i like to hit it with my right rear trailer. and watch the cars riding my tail back off super fast.

 

Be careful doing that in say MO on 44. It will HOOK you and wreck everything.

Be that is it may, that is one of my tricks in the bag to eliminate a onery 4 wheeler...

 

So what was the reason? Did we ever find out?

 

Apparently, the wind died down,,,problem solved,

 

The wind is just getting started. Tomorrow is supposed to be bad. 50+ mph.

 

I bet that's the problem.

 

Don't sweat it, every one of these guys have been there, done that, they just don't remember(or want to remember,lol). When you learn the hard way, you don't forget, in trucking it happens that way a lot.

 

Bingo, ( whispering) plus some real doozy's before cameras the boss never found out about,,,

 

Ive got a favorite first hand image of Old Town SD off the interstate in a proper winter storm. One of the reasons i Remember that one (Will need to scan it..) is because the trailer was really bad that day all the way across. (Loaded)

You could almost see in the snow drifting onto the left shoulder (Westbound) where the worst of the gusting would be and pre-establish the trailer to take the hit. You learn to eyeball the flags, trees if any, antennas on other cars.. anything that can wave in a wind like that so you already see whats the wind doing before you get there. It requires a certain amount of attention much more than just driving.

 

All of ours are zeros...The diff in a zero and a 2 or 4 i think is so minimal that you will never notice..
I will say if you look at a set duels and singles that the duels have a wider stance..
