That is good information on that chart. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for that! Had two empties yesterday and wind was gusting to 21, and it wasn't bad. Getting up into the 30's with empties depending on the wind direction would be quite the ride! Wednesday around here they are talking 65mph gusts. That might shut some things down.

Great chart! Never seen that before. I imagine with doubles the numbers change a bit or err on the lower side of things.

Thanks! It is good to hear that from seasoned drivers that it is ok to make that decision. That part of me inside feels like I need to do it to help the company and be the best that I can... but the realistic part of me says its not worth it. Thanks for the validation.

Great point! I dont know what I dont know! hahaha.. There seems to be a good LTL community growing and it would be nice to have more reliable information on the site. I know that I am pretty new here, but I would sure appreciate the advice and insight from the Vets! I hope to be able to contribute and find some good information along the way as well. Thanks!

Good decision! I know the feeling being a new driver, you want the experience but then again erring on the side of caution goes a long way. I am pretty new with the wiggle wagons and have only been driving them for a month now. I had that experience this morning at 2am. 40mph winds and blowing snow, my regular route was canceled and they wanted me to take another load to IL. Never been to that terminal and the current conditions were about the same. I decided not to go. Dispatch said no worries they understand. I felt bad inside for not going, but at the same time I would much rather be safe than wising that I was in someplace safe on the middle of nowhere!

There are some good channels on youtube where LTL guys seem to go. Not allot of good tutorials as much though.

That would be great as well! Thank you!

Much easier to use the hook on the tractor!

Good timing! Some of our trucks carry chains but in Nebraska we don't have any chain requirements, so I'm not sure if I'll get to experience the joy of chains
