Don’t blow over! How to get through extreme wind in a Bullrack.

[@beauvaistrucking6365]

Yep, you're right about operating with The Pusher down when Wendy I pull a 53-ft Eby and almost always have that Pusher out down. Makes a lot of difference when it's windy. I found your channel about a year ago. Love watching. Seems like you're a great guy 🤘

[@Kissthis406]

Growing up in Cut Bank , I know wind, pulling a horse trailer many times over the pass, respect the cross wind sign at Browning! The last couple videos have been so educational thank you

[@kevinkrayna3097]

Well done Jax. I remain impressed with your professionalism. Having driven double 45's up in the Northeast I know the pitfalls that are out there and you work HARD to avoid them all. I unfortunately know the stress of which you speak. My scariest moments? Driving my Sprinter van across Wyoming last year with crosswinds blowing me HARD. I so appreciate these videos. Keep e'm coming please! Thank you!

[@realwildwildwest]

Wyoming wind can be brutal for sure!

[@jameshall169]

im glad to see I'm not the only one who stresses with big wind, well done mr Jax

[@entiatmule3820]

An ounce of prevention!! Well done! Once saw both halves of a doublewide that were blown totally upside down while parked behind a convenience store in George WA. .......totally renewed my fondness for flatbeds!! Love your videos, but you really need to dust your dashboard!

[@jeanries434]

Interesting It is so good that you share so much information that some of us never think about; but we need to. We need to appreciate all the things you do to get us food. God bless you and your family.

[@Kissthis406]

This good education for to share

[@kevinfiebelkorn4715]

I'll never forget my first time on I-80 in 1977. Near Cheyenne I started hearing on the CB that "they're closing the gates". I had no idea what they were talking about but I found out soon enough. That was a real cheek clencher.

[@MarkGrant-ew3wk]

Thanks jax i have been driving 30 years thank you for new tricks i appreciate how safety minded you i try to to safety minded to God bless

[@patlattin5933]

Jax first comment ever on a video local guy here home every night by far the best video thx for the ride!!🤙🤙🤙

[@McGregor-hc3bu]

Safe driving for the rest of your run Jaxon, thank you for the tips 👍

[@clayoyler5064]

That mug full of water will help! Been blowed over in Kansas once. Terrible feeling. Merritt pot was fine. Pete needed major repairs.

[@realwildwildwest]

Dang ! The wind is never the same after you get blown over I bet ..

[@pinepaul9920]

Very interesting video, thx bud!

[@kentstryker7208]

I live 40mi north of the sweet grass hills in Alberta and we get those crazy winds from the west and know how they can change in a short distance. I also pull grain hopper with lift axle and run them down in the wind. Definitely helps. Not the weight per square inch on the ground but more side friction. Love your videos

[@clayearl7282]

Just passed you down in Utah must have delivered at jbs. Sweet to see the blue cabover in person. Be safe keep the rubber side down

[@gaelenecole4707]

Thank you for your honesty and running commentary.. Fantastic work and amazing advice … ❤I’ll tuck that away safe somewhere for a future reference if needed… The concerned look 😟 said it all … Keep safe for the rest of your journey 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤

[@jerricksmith9892]

your water deal if you put in tarps down and zip tie them to the walls it’ll hold a lot more water when we hauled cattle from North Dakota to Nebraska. Sometimes we needed that weight on an empty haul back so we can do the water deal and we put tarps down

[@GroverErvin]

As a person from a certain part of Detroit (the actual city and not the suburbs 😂), that intro coulda went somewhere! 😂😂

[@realwildwildwest]

Yeah!!! lol

[@garymessina1609]

Great informative wind blowing video thanks Jax

[@shazbottflamingo550]

That intro was very cool, but the drivin in the wind took that right out of my head - was clench'n right along with your gut wrench! 😓 Great job! Doing the prep is a smart man's move. 😁 The term you were looking for was " Canary in a coal mine" . Good idea to use that fool as your gauge! Also, the words / logo on my Jax tshirt has FINALLLY worn completely off; Time to order my replacement, and put those kids to work doing the packing/ shipping! (Hi kids! Grandma needs her new shirt soon!) This one is lookin like a frosting of white snow lightly dusted it, thats all thats left of the Logo! 😢 These are the SOFTEST tshirts EVERRR. 💕 Good video- thanks for taking us along! Hugs!

[@patricknorris9644]

You delivered just over the hill from where I’m at. As far as the wind browning is the only place Iv felt insane wind gusts. And Iv been all over Wyoming and Utah. Good video keep up the good work.

[@terryfuller8724]

Canary is the mine birds used.

[@TruckerChick]

Wind and fog were always my big pucker times. Had a couple of close calls on 25 between Cheyenne and Denver. I was always empty headed that way and had to shut down a few times. I'm glad you made it ok, but I sure could see that pucker on your face.

[@JG-cy7zn]

Happy to see you didn't have to kick the porch light out.

[@russ0520]

"Couple thousand pounds of manure may sound like a ton of manure to yall". A, yeah that does sound like a ton. Exactly a ton. Lol

[@amberandrews1795]

Great video Jax! Glad everything worked out

[@joannehart9624]

A couple of years back I was traveling back to Las Vegas from Los Angeles. At the bottom of the Cajon grade was three trucks which had blown over. Some really serious winds are frequent in that area. It was quite sad to see.

[@dave550821]

Keep up the good trucking how to videos. Way too many drivers out there that don’t know what they don’t know.

[@Movingmidgard]

First time seeing one of your videos. I take the wind seriously as well since I have been tipped over before. It is nothing to joke about. I have a PTSD moment going around corners now as well any time I feel the weight shift. It's been several years and still get that oh shit feeling. I'm just steady as she goes now and other than the water I deploy most your tricks too. If I know I am going to have to go through an area of potential wind I try to plan a stop and just wait it out if it seems like it will be crazy or try and plan to get through before. I know it's not always how it can work out though. But you are certainly right to take precautions. Those who don't are only lucky till they're not anymore. I also try and use the guys who blow by as gauges too. Mostly to brace if I see them moving, but the crappy thing about gusts are is there is no way to time them as they can be perfectly fine and then you catch the gust yourself. Just all part of the game I guess. Great video

[@realwildwildwest]

I think high winds are the spookiest of all conditions. . Welcome to the channel. 🙌🏼

[@screwplanplaybook7121]

Dude that is a nice little grade on I 15 before you get into Great Falls going north bound and river bridge at the bottom, I remember several times going out to Seattle or coming from Washington State The wind around Livingston going through downtown Livingston, very neat Town Livingston,Mt is. Keep on Trucking and safe travels.

[@TheSlagman0]

I have seen 3 bullracks running beside each other going down I 25 south of Wheatland Wyo , but that was quite a few years ago . To much traffic now, couldn't get away with it ! I also had to take a gooseneck load of fats to a truck that was south of town so we could get it to the feedlot to finish loading it !! !!

[@chrisfarmsllc1224]

I worked in western NY 30 years ago. They had to close 90 because of too many trucks blown over in a 50 mile stretch of road from the wind coming off Lake Ontario.

[@docholiday1034]

Even running flat, rgn,covered wagon the big winds pushed around when empty. Racing cars going to accidents with wreckers i learned to always wear seatbelts…. Except in the truck. If you have pulled up to enough truck wrecks guys survive with no belts… most end up on floor an it saves them. Stay safe… good videos

[@fordlav]

Fantastic video and thanks for all the amazing information

[@Josephboley81211]

Hello there Mr Jax. Hope you and the family are doing great ✌️👍🙏🙏

[@glindabeaven6805]

The look on your face changed when you got into the rough part of the wind l think you were seriously worried. My question is what do you do to get the water out of the trailer before you load

[@jimbillick7675]

Nice work!

[@harrymock3445]

Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. It is appreciated

[@JJKHaywood]

Hauling livestock isn’t for the faint of heart. The Stories are enough to keep the Mavericks on the road and me way far away! My days at IHC truck shop during the 9370 & 9670 COE; S-Line through 4000-5000 series. I had the pleasure of meeting some interesting old timers still on the Road.

[@leelahd4428]

A cattle driver told me on a 4 lane, they would drive side by side for one, to block the wind and two, if the trailer moved they would use the other to use as a ‘bumper’. Keep the wind side trailer from going over. I drove in one real bad side wind and I’m sure the trailer tires lifted. I pulled into a farmers yard to wait it out.

[@realwildwildwest]

If you have a running mate, going side by side is a great way to wind proof yourself. Essentially cuts the wind force in half!

[@AndreZA979]

The little mine bird I believe is the canary in a coal mine, glad you pushed through, must have been stressful.

[@douglasmarchildon1772]

Thanks I'm like you I never an still don't wear seatbelts

[@austinrussell3477]

Lil Jax Montana dropping some bars. I’d buy the mixtape

[@ryanlorenz561]

Awesome tips. Wish I could fill my empty dry van a bit 😀

[@LanielDarson339]

Gonna leave a trail of ice behind to spin out all the 4 wheelers like banana peels on Mario Cart.

[@realwildwildwest]

🤣🤣

[@MadDawg91108]

10:13 "A couple thousand pounds of manure sounds like a ton, but it's not".......well, it actually IS a ton. 😂 Good job Jax....I've spent many many miles on the road with high profile vehicles in the wind, I know first-hand what you were going through. It's not a fun time, that's for sure. Had to do the Livingston detour on Tuesday this week because of the wind.

[@realwildwildwest]

Haha glad you made it though there!

[@Billyb.81]

At least I know I’m not the only one that gets this way in the wind

[@Knightrem]

@ 28:10 I know exactly what you're talking about. Since the start of the year the winds out west have been terrible, your gut just ties itself in a knot until your done with the drive.

[@russellgier5489]

I was told by an old timer to pull the trailer brake lever down just til the needle barely moves on the application gauge and it will hold you on the road never had the chance to try it

[@Kavikwolf]

LOL I was gonna say you know Jax taking it serious when he got the seat belt on and then you made that comment. :)

[@MDR62MULES]

This is a great video. I haven't been with you long but I like the channel. The trucking friends I know only pull hazmat and grain. So this cattle business is interesting to me. Did not realize you bull haulers put water in your trailers for added weight. But you left me hanging - does it freeze or do you drain it when you go to pick up your load? Never owned cows but plenty of horses. Inquiring minds want to know...........Stay safe out there the family's counting on you. ❤❤good vid we need the 2nd part.

[@realwildwildwest]

I dumped it out once I got to the yard I was loading at. Flushed it right out and made for a nice clean trailer for the load I was taking 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MDR62MULES]

​@@realwildwildwestthanks for the info Jax.!

[@msmyers1205]

Love the intro ❤❤❤😂

[@realwildwildwest]

😜

[@mw2888-u8o]

I loved the new tips - thanks. Do you haul bulls too or just heifers and steers?

[@matthewklejeski6641]

Was that the same storm where that van almost blew over by browning

[@Middleman570]

Canary was the bird in the mines. Opening your cut gates cross gates I understand I would lay the floor down in the kitchen also I don’t know if those big trailers can do that. Anything to get the airflow. None of that matters when you have 75-100 mph wind gusts.

[@jameshassel5838]

Can we call you Jax Swift if you get hung up in the ditch. LoL 😮

[@mbdraper]

It’s about time you put that seat belt on😂

[@realwildwildwest]

Hey… you be quiet 🤫 🤣🤣

[@jameshassel5838]

Just be glad it ain't 150 below with the wind chill.

[@wesvortherms349]

You're definitely on edge.

[@realwildwildwest]

It was a little nerve wracking for sure!

[@Lstn2urmama]

Hope your shoulders did well ... I know about the wind tension just driving oversized vans ...

[@danflynn1259]

I also wanted to know how and where you dumped all that water out. I am guessing that you had to wade in and open up the bottom hatch.

[@realwildwildwest]

At the yard I was loading they had me dump. There’s an outside handle for one of the traps to open up

[@Alexander_Komorow]

Do you use the Windy app?

[@oldskoold22]

Canary, the bird.

[@b0rd3n]

Maybe carry a bag of bentonite, the main ingredient in clumping cat litter, to help in blocking the water out, or keeping it in, your choice.

[@just-incase3483]

Shelby Montana is where walker farms is, I watch them on KZbin too 😂

[@dave550821]

Might mention high winds is not the time to pass another truck if you get the choice.

[@billybobs841]

Good video

Hahaha seatbelt trolls are real!

Interesting! Never had to think about that. How does it effect your scale weight? If you get overloaded ticket, does DOT give you any slack?

that is what us old-timers called white knuckle driving

WELL THAT MIGHT WORK FOR A CATTLE TRAILER I WAS HOPING TO LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT JUST PLAYING BOX TRAILER SET THE TIME YOU'RE TAKING I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST BETTER TO USE THAT TIME FILLING WITH A GARDEN HOSE TO TRY AND BEAT THE WEATHER

[@realwildwildwest]

Best way to beat the wind in a box trailer is to drive side by side with another guy.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Just don't send a Marco Polo to Nolan... 😬 I don't think I've ever seen you genuinely worried on camera before, lucky you had your Canary in front of you! 😂
