I've got 12 tires on the ground and my rig does very well in the winds; it's very stable and under control. Friend of mine (18 wheel driver) says the semi's blowing over are either empty or lightly loaded.
I have many years under my belt of driving big rigs & would agree somewhat with that comment & why I mentioned it’s weight, the wife is fearless & I kept telling her those trucks weight up to 80k lbs!
And hardly feel it compared to us.
I’ve towed an extremely wide range of thing over the years & yet not much in the winds.
I’m just very happy I’m not working needing get stuff through being I’m basically a freelance driver now & have the freedom to take a few extra days getting back home to work if I want to.
