When it’s said and done,there’s going to be plenty of accountability in this accident. That particular bridge has been under construction for some time-with reduced speeds to match! Someone (or a bunch of somebodys) were in too much of a hurry, and the end results could’ve been tragic. That F-150 could’ve very easily gone over the barrier and into the drink.

If you're truly worried about the welfare of those animals, don't load them onto your trailer.

I ask again have you pulled stock? I wasn’t tryin to piss in your Cheerios hand. You have blowed up like a little banty rooster here over nothing. Here are the facts you or I were not there and do not know wtf happened. You are the one who for lack of a better word profiled the cattle truck. We’re all dangerous. I merely explained a point or two that the average driver may not realize. We do not know if the cattle truck was driving like a maniac or was just caught up in someone else’s poop. Yet the cattle truck is convicted before reading any accident reports. Can you say beyond all certainty that there is no way the cattle truck had plenty of distance but after a couple of vehicles made lane changes quickly trying to get around slower traffic that his following distance was cut short then traffic stopped. no you cannot nor can I.
You’re right 85 to 90 isn’t heavy there are so many others heavier. This 150K and up is thst on 5 axles or…..? I bet not. If you do pull that kinda weight you know 85 to 90 on 5 axles is plenty especially with the surge. You have the axles and brakes to stop that 150k even if they are just enough……or did you forget that? You’re not making a fair comparison and you know it.
As far as don’t load em if I’m concerned for their welfare here is where I’m at there. If I don’t someone will. Will it be someone who gives a #### or some mouth breath in ####### that is what everyone obviously thinks we are? It’s up to people like me to teach the less experienced the right way of doing it. So regardless of your opinion of me or what I do I’m going to continue to do it the way I always have.Siinman, austinmike, kwswan and 1 other person Thank this. -
BEEF its what's for dinner !
