A truck driver from Alabama manages to prevent his big rig from overturning during high winds recently on a highway just south of Hays.
The man was driving for KCK-based Butler Transport.
Truckers who have watched the video say the man's skill, the western Kansas sand grabbing the rig's tires and perhaps pure luck helped save the day. A motorist traveling behind the rig captured the heart-pounding video. A local truck driving instructor said this is not something you really can teach.
Jeff Steinberg, owner and instructor at APEX CDL Institute, said the driver of the semi did an outstanding job in keeping the rig from rolling over. "That driver deserves a medal," Steinberg said. "That was a great driving maneuver there."
