Surprised they don’t shut the highway down that’s crazy to let that many trucks flip over

[halon]

Hats off to the truckers who recovered the near flip 👏

[doctorcountersteer]

Dispatch is like: are ya still gonna be on time?

[QuestionEverythingLookDeeper]

I worked in Blythe for a whole year, I can just feel the sand scratching my eyeballs watching this

[rockyroad]

Kudos to the trucker who turned his rig into the wind and saved his trailer!

[warriorblue]

I’m a 39 year veteran trucker if you know that Weather is coming why would you even be on the road? It doesn’t matter what your company says you don’t drive into an area where you know there’s gonna be issues

[freddyfudd]

Park the truck facing into the wind and wait it out.

I'm a trucker. Used to take this route every week from Vegas headed to Connecticut and back. The money was good but I don't miss those wind storms. They are common during that stretch of the interstate. I had to pull over a few times

[ChfDP]

Wind blew me into another lane bout a hr ago I found the closest truck stop and shut it down. Thankfully it was only 8 miles away. Longest 8 miles of my life lol

[robbiesammons]

Wow 😮 I was born in Amarillo Texas and I grew up there, those winds can be just like that!

[gypsylynn]

Oh my goodness. You caught some wild footage. One guy was very smart to unhook the trailer. It’s windy through there on a good day couldn’t imagine today. Stay safe.

GOD BLESS THESE POOR TRUCKERS!!!! Thks for doing this job that BLESSES US! ❤❤❤❤

[SongMom]

Oh crap… that feeling when you know you’re going over but you can’t stop it.

[Tom-xpdl]

Its amazing how many pro drivers never think to check the weather before hitting the road. High winds...High profile vehicle....HELLO.

[shell]

Truckers with empty trailers is like a big metal kyte. Stay safe drivers ❤

[rajnimsg]

That's awesome the cop stopped to help that semi driver put the Jack's down.

[Golden_Girl]

THIS IS WHY WYOMING SHUTS THEIR INTERSTATES DOWN

[Roadrage]

Thanks for the video! I’ve seen some flipped big rigs nearby in Mojave, CA but never knew how they flipped so this was cool to see.

Blue Peterbilt that dropped the trailer was smart. No point in totaling the truck too

Edit: turning in to the wind on a highway isn’t smart. Now you’re perpendicular to the highway traffic flow. When I come by in my wrx that is unaffected by the wind and T bone you because you’re parked across the interstate I will be a millionaire from that lawsuit.
