One of the many dangers we truckers face out there.

Truck drivers have to put up with a variety of dangers and unknowns just to get that load of livestock, gas, produce, or in some cases, components for nuclear weapons, like a local firm has for decades. Health issues kept me out of that rig. There are some benefits, I suppose. Scenery and getting some free views from passing cars, just to demonstrate:

I know I would have soiled underwear if that happened to me.

Man, if that rig was fully loaded, it would've surely flipped. It must've been empty, otherwise it would've been too heavy for the driver to stabilise it.

Yes and no. In the state of Wyoming,during high winds,the only rigs they let out is if they have at least 30,000 pounds in the trailer. Now,if the load sits up high inside the trailer,light or heavy,it stands a higher chance of being knocked over.

A good job of driving.
