Wind Advisory

There is a reason why we do that believe it or not....

 

Some of those Santa Anna winds are tricky too.

 

Just don't come to North Dakota today, gusts in the 50-75 mph range. My windspeed thing here at home has been showing a constant 30+ mph and been hitting 60+ on and off. Kinda glad we got shut down today. Roads are wet and covered with slimy mud because of sugar beet harvest.

 

I also heard there is a truck on its side (or something) at Sydney as I am at exit 20 on I-80 Nebraska and nobody is going anywhere. They have probably moved the shutdown further west as no room here for anybody else.

 

just don't get caught with them all the way back in states that have a king pin to axle distance law

Make sure your weights is good if you move the tandems.
I'm in Lincoln now, came up from Denver. Was a bit Windy today.


There was a Prime laying on its side just before the I76/80 Split 10 miles West of there or so

 

I am so glad they closed it. I was on I-80W this morning with around 40-50 wind gusts and a 75,000 load. Got blown all over the place. Pretty bad. Got to the Petro to scale the truck and couldn't get the door open long enough to push the call button on the scale. Almost would rather drive in snow; either way they are both four letter words
