What would be maximum winds to pull 35 foot rig with 2500 Chev duramx? Winds look to be 20 to 30 on Monday.

Correct answer is, "it depends". Tailwinds are good, mostly! Headwinds aren't bad, per se, but play hell with mileage. Crosswinds are the killer, but it really depends on how much of a crosswind. It really depends on how comfortable you are and how bad the winds are. I've read many accounts here where people just stay for an extra day or take a late start to avoid winds. If they get caught on the road, they'll pull off or even hunker down under an overpass. I've also read about other people who =have= to make miles and they'll slow down and fill their holding tanks for extra weight and stability. It's really up to you as to how comfortable you think you'll be and how much extra you want to spend on fuel.
