    Wind Stinks
    #1
    Was driving west in Mn. last Thursday had a little problem with the wind. I had a 70-80 mile per hour wind pick up my empty trailer about 8 feet off the ground and over I went. I got the call today they junked the truck. Now I am about 9 grand in the hole. Now they want to fight. Finance companies suck.

    Glad no one got hurt, except my pride. 17 years this is the worst I have been in ever.

    Here is the pic of just how far the trailer went in mid air. If you look the trailer left no marks in the grass at all. Very fun ride, the other picture is of the mail box and the hole in the front from cement blocks.

    Sorry to hear - glad you are okay.

    That is AMAZING though.... Not something I would have ever conceived as a danger.

    that sucks , i had a experiance a long time ago when i was 14. my uncle used to own a few trucks that ran shrimp from port lavaca texas to bayou labattre ala.

    on a trip back , just as we got into la a piece of retread tire road debris got caught up in a front wheel and locked up the wheel , well , he did a great job trying to control but we went over , shrimp all over the interstate , no one was hurt ,big mess..

    best to you getting back up and running...
