Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

Do you issue warnings, or one day a guy just discovers he is banned? Just curious, want to make sure I’m in as good shape as @JolliRoger!

 

You’re right that is our job. He didn’t keep it upright the trees did.

My concern if he dodged to miss bikers and the trailer went from clear to ditch that fast? Didn’t happen he couldn’t have been going that fast that some easy brake and the force of gravity didn’t stop it before that happened. He wasn’t looking couldn’t see that right side and miss judged.

 

You are correct, I do a go bit of really sharp curves in north east Georgia, Eastern Tennessee and south Eastern Kentucky. On that one he should have had the left front almost in the ditch and the truck would have been pointed more to his right if he just cut back to miss something. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. Just my opinion.

 

That sucks, I really enjoyed reading his posts. How do we find out if we're about to be canned? I'm not very tech savvy.

 

I do think the leaning load was purely driver error. There is no way he was positioned correctly or driving a safe speed to take that uphill curve and end up in that position to avoid motorcycles.

The picture is just like the freight haulers going up Tail of the Dragon

 

Thanks

 

From appearances, he was pulling slow upgrade. Not much forward motion and speed to whip a dodge.. Just reacted to get out to the fools way.
May have saved some lives. Just my opinion from having been wound up in roads kinda that with 70 bales of cotton dragging 2nd of 5 and letting the oncoming make the best of it themselves. Shorter trailer; smaller tractor, still snug fit...

 

Nope, that ain't there. d o g had to message me to let me know how many I had. ...
