Last night I crossed into wy from co on I25. Went west to ut. During the 5 or 6 hrs I saw 8 trucks wrecked. One laying on its side like it was tired. Another looked like a giant gave it a karate chop in the middle of the trailer. An Amazon truck looked like it drove right up an embankment and stayed there. A double in a tangled up mess. The road would look ok then go to shit and then good again. I was buzzing along at 55 after looking at 2 trucks having jack knifed on each side thinking how unfortunate for them. I then noticed a flat bed I was closing on was just creeping along. I made a quick lane change and got that sick feeling that I wasn’t really touching pavement. My trailer was starting to dance a bit. I let of and steered until 30 and stayed there. Now I knew how that happened to the others. I eventually fell in line with 4 others going the recommended 35, when a prime truck whizzed by going as fast as prime can go. He disappeared over the hill. A half hr later he was tangled up in the cables in the middle with a trooper already there.
I ended up in Utah. My next trip is to ft worth. My GPS wanted me to go back the way I came. I vetoed that and am going to ft worth via Albuquerque.
