Bad drive tomorrow...

I have to tow a fairly tall trailer 500 miles tomorrow, 500 miles the next day, and around 250 miles the day after that. Weather forecast is for snow and gusty winds - direct head winds and cross winds - at up to 40 mph for all three days. This is just going to suck...

Do you have chain laws where you are going?

Might need a set for the trailer. Check to make sure.

Kinda like drivers out here that pull triples. I ask how they learned to get comfortable with that third trailer. "just fold the mirrors in, and don't look back!"

I've never pulled triples, doubles were tough enough!

That was caused by wind? Looks like no one was hurt fortunately.
