Answer:
I'm really curious what the circumstances of these two are.
Answer:
The pup really looks like "storm" damage. Either straight line winds or a tornado picked it up and flopped it over.
Number two, while it could be the result of a storm could just as easily have been caused by someone trying to back a trailer into next to it slowly and when the truck stopped moving giving it just a bit more power. Seen this happen one night at the Chrysler Plant in St Louis.
Answer:
How common or how rare it is for the wind to actually roll a truck and/or trailer is basically unimportant. What is important is that the wind can and does cause accidents of one kind or another all the time. Between the potential for picking the truck up and flipping it to forcing the rig off the road or into another lane and possibly another vehicle drivers need to execute extreme caution when driving in windy conditions.
Answer:
Well if your going to train them for driving in wind you'll have to take them to Chicago, the plains or out west and certain days. Like skid pad training, only a few get that training. Try to use common sense. If you're hi-pro empty or light and the wind is blowing 30-40 miles an hour, park the junk. Don't drive on ice either if the wind is howling.Whoa is me. Yup, put the brakes on the trucking crapola and haven't looked back.

Straight Line winds will flip a empty trailer 'in a heartbeat'.
Seen the results, seen it happen, it ain't purty.
