Re: [A/S] Digest Number 2733
It sounded like (from the article) that this particular accident had a
lot to do with wind-induced trailer sway.
A Hensley might (?) have helped here. Though there is no excuse for the
70 MPH driving speed on a windy stretch of road. I've been over that
particular stretch, and it is windy, but so are a lot of other stretches
out west.
What I really wish had been included in the article was a description of
the tow vehicle and the hitch used.
I think we can assume (?) the trailer was not checked for axle weight
balance between the tandem axles, and probably the tow vehicle
front-to-read axle weight transfer balancing adjustment condition was
not known?
