Livestock trucks are the worst.

Those open portholes along the side drag so much air with them. Even going the opposite direction of one of those suckers on the bike is just awful. You get blasted by a wall of buffeting air and about the time you've adjusted to it it's just gone entirely and you're adjusting again.

Hate those damn things.

Agreed, do the same thing on a motorcycle. The wind feels like it's going to pick you and your bike up and slap you both back down on the ground sideways.

I went across the Delaware Memorial Bridge in a large empty Ryder rental truck to pick up a large load of hardwood flooring during 2005 with a High Wind Advisory in effect. I was shaking in fear during the entire ride and I stayed in the middle lane the whole time driving about 40 mph. People were pissed and honking but I could care less. I was being blown all over the bridge.

I crossed that ****ing awful Bay Bridge a few times with high winds with a 1 ft guardrail that has had cars go off the bridge and into the water. They have shut that bridge down for high winds.
