Hey guys, I'm scheduled to leave Mason City, Iowa today to drive to Knoxville, Illinois and it is windy. We have an F-350 dually pulling 40 feet of fifth wheel weighing 16000 pounds. The winds are from the NW at 19mph gusting to 28. Tomorrow, the winds are predicted to be 13mph and gusting to 22. The winds would be at our back most of the way. For about 20 miles in Iowa, the winds would be at the back ans drivers side when we are heading straight east. Would you pull my rig today or wait until tomorrow? We'd like to leave because this storm is bringing some cold weather.
that's the typical wind on any day driving down the columbia river gorge on I-84. Wouldn't worry a bit. When wind hits 40 then I start to notice it. about 45 is time to find a place to pull off.
Beat me to it. I was just going to say the Gorge, that is normal :)
