Good fuel card

Not positive, but I think it was largely the high and gusty winds along with the cold air. On more than one occasion I noticed that it would take more boost to get down the road than normal. Also my tractor is very sensitive to being pushed around by the wind. I spent a lot of time fighting the steering every time it gusted or I had head/tail winds. It was also noticeable when trying to throw straps over my 13'6" loads and the wind would try to blow them off. One time I had to throw the same strap 3 times because the wind blew it back to me AFTER it started to arc over the load. There certainly could have been other factors at work but this was really noticable. The wind at highway speeds sounded like I was traveling west on 80 through Nebraska or Wyoming, constant howling.
