Oh yeah, there's a large expanse of flat land over where New Brunswick meets Nova Scotia. Five years ago, there was a two-day windstorm that was nasty enough that big-rigs running light had to be paired up with big-rigs running heavy. The paired trucks would run side-by-side for fifty kms or so, with the lighter rig having to stay on the heavier rig's lee (downwind side) to keep from being pushed over. Cars could complete that leg without too much grief.

That's one nice thing about New Brunswick. Lots of mountains and foresty areas to keep the roads from getting too bad.
