Many factors have to be taken into consideration as it really depends on the trailer type, how high the load is stacked, loaded weight, etc. BUT I will tell you it takes much more than a pussy wind storm to take trucks out. My father has been doing this shit for almost 40 years and he’s never had a roll over except for a guy who had a catastrophic loss of brakes and did an intentional roll over to save a line of cars from being folded. > > I’d love to hear your data, honestly. I like data. Doesn’t your Dad mostly haul in dump trucks though? In the 5 years I was with USF, I guarantee we sent more tractor trailers in those 5 years than your pops has in his life time. I’m not disagreeing on a simple wind storm… I’m still waiting for how much force you think it takes… I’ve been a part of investigations where trucks went on there side at less than 5MPH, with a partial load, secured. And I can tell you, not much force was needed for a side to lift, shift weight and turn over. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rant-about-the-nys-dot-someone-needs-to-get-spoken-too-at-the-top/257009)._
