Dummies at Oasis

to get turned backwards in oasis truck lot had to take some work... must have been a problem, no normal person would try this!... or they just cheese heads

 

Probably had a breakdown. I've had to do that a few times for various reasons, but I try to do it away from everything. Moving cattle back and forth leaves a lot of cowshit on the ground sometimes, and is best done on the dirt somewhere.

 

Couldn't they just swap trailers?

 

I would guess they had a disabled truck. No one in their right mind transfer cows from trailer to trailer unless there is a big problem. As for swapping trailers you really can't. See a cow trailer doesn't really have landing legs. They have more of a post they slides down and is held in place by a pin. The front of the trailer isn't strong enough to hold a load.

 

definitely something wrong, glad they didn't have to do that on the side of interstate, or ramp.

 

I watched a couple guys put a new truck under a loaded trailer on an on ramp at about 4:30 in the morning. I was on a side road waiting on another truck to meet up and load cattle at daylight. They apparently pulled it off, I'd have to be pretty desperate to try it.

In the one picture, those cops are parked and standing within range. They could get a little green on them right there.

 

I just don't see any dummies in the pictures. Driver breaks down, another driver transfers the cattle into his working rig. How can you fault a driver for a breakdown? Do you think he can plan and choose when and where he breaks down?

But, I can see a dummy taking pictures and posting on here about their troubles. For what purpose I'm not sure.

 

You expecting him to wear good clothes to jump in a bull wagon and get crap on them?

The guy is just doing his job. It ain't easy. You try jumping in that wagon with 50,000 lbs. of stressed out cattle. It's dangerous!

I think you should re-think your reasoning for posting this thread. I'm sure that young man has more below his belt buckle than you'll ever have!
