I-5 through California

[Crazydog]

I pulled my 38' fiver from Salem to Phoenix and I-5 in the right lane was full of chuckholes. Arizona had none of that.

That's hillarious! Arizona I-40 is one of the worst interstate freeways in the country.

Hello,
Concerned concerned about driving 40 ft diesel pusher pulling 20 ft trailer on I-5 through California. Concerned for safety and looking for advice.

Thank you in advance,
BB

This is an area that often experiences very high winds and this results in flipped RVs and tractor trailer rigs. Best to go early in the morning before the winds come up. You will burn less fuel as well.

I am curious where that happens as I drive I 5 quite a bit as far north as Eugene, OR and Indio,CA. I have never seen RV’s or trucks flipped over from windy conditions. It can get windy out there but I would have never thought it is enough flip a truck or an rv over.

Driven many times with no problems.

although durning the “fog season” extra precautions are definitely in order.
