Krdo13 spoke to truck drivers in the area that they have to prepare as a driver.

“The wind doesn't bother me a bit. Yes, I did it too many years. You have to get slower and pay attention to it. It's bad. You have to park. You have to do that,” said the long -time Trucker Roy Bieker.

“We only have to take into account the weather and the speeds, the picture, the observation of our speeds, driving defensive driving. Make sure we don't just drive the brakes. This is exactly what we do as professional drivers. So if you have really big winds, do not drive at the speed limit.

The Colorado Ministry of Transport said that the restrictions for light and top -class vehicles are possible on Tuesday, as it is expected that strong winds will continue a large part of the day.
