When the wind REALLY picked up, it would push the truck hard enough that I would lose traction on all four wheels, and I would instantly become a passenger, with a nice steering wheel to hang onto, until I hit one shoulder or the other, and could get traction again..... THAT was exciting. After the first experience...... When I saw oncoming traffic, I would pull over, and STOP, as I didn't wanna get blown into another car......

There was one stretch of road that just went thru one corner of a county, that WASN'T very well maintained, and there were HARD corners both entering, and leaving..... (no matter which direction you were going....) As I came around the corner (at 5MPH.....), It looked like some giant kid had just randomly tossed his toy cars everywhere. It was hilarious. There were probably a dozen cars in various positions, none of them actually ON the road. I had chains, and tug straps, and spent the next three hours pulling cars back onto the road. (that was fun, with just about zero traction on the roads......) I think I made about 500 bucks that night.
