[QUOTE="ArcherUTR, post: 1788860, member: 53175"] Pulling trailers to Abiline, Tx in the middle of the night. Never been there before. No one was there. Didn't know where to put my trailers, didn't know what to bring back so I grabbed to empty 28 footers and headed back to DFW. It was a dark, windy, and stormy night. The truck I was driving had a governor that would let it get up to a fairly high speed quickly. So during one of the many times my tractor was accelerating after a deceleration the wind blew hard and the empties I was pulling lost traction and very quickly I was pointing nearly perpendicular to the interstate. I have no idea how I managed to softly but quickly pull myself back in the direction of the highway without going off of the road. I immediately took the first exit, pulled over and thought about life for about 10 minutes. No one ever told me about pulling empties on a wet windy night. Now I know. And now I drive brown package trucks. [/QUOTE]
