No it isn't! I used to haul swinging beef before they stopped that.... and with an air ride cab over Ford. Many trips were spent sitting waiting for winds to die down. Too many lost to swinging beef cartage back then.

in my other life working on the railroad one of my funniest stories was out in bfe new mexico with a track inspector who had shut down the transcon because of wind. the dispatcher was getting testy on the radio and wanted actual evidence of the high winds(silly bc they had been getting alerts from the local stations). meanwhile the inspector and i are sitting in our trucks beside the tracks getting buffeted in this canyon, well he rolls down the window while on the radio and proceeds to call out in his very southern accent the readings from the anemometer til the twirly bird breaks off and heads towards Texas!
it went like" there's 10, 20, 30, oh hell the thingy just flew off the meter, yeah don't think you should run any trains til it calms down but you do what you think is best"🤣
