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

I replaced mine with oem, but mainly because I didn’t have time to send mine out to get rebuilt

 

Ifn a folk can deal with a chew of Cope, little clutch dust won’t make no difference.

 

Cow falls out of cattle truck, multiple wrecks on I-75, Loudon Co. sheriff says

Someone messed up!

 

Part of I-27 closed in Texas Panhandle after crane, overpass crash

If any of y'all are headin' to the Diamond B feedyard or the 928 trailer washout near Tulia, TX you won't be able to use the bridge that goes over the interstate. If you're coming from the north, take exit 74 and then turn left on TX 86 (the old Rip Griffin's will be ahead of you on the right at the intersection). Head east on 86, then as soon as you pass the sale barn (it'll be on your left) turn right on US 87 and head south 'til you get to Farm Road 928.

 

Funny how a post like this can make a whole flood of memories wash over a fellow.
Man I miss living in the panhandle some days. We lived just a few miles outside of Hale Center. I hauled feed, feed ingredients, ag products all over the panhandle and into eastern New Mexico.
It has been 13 years since we moved back here to Kentucky.

 

I used to run in to a JBS lot in Hale Center. May have pics of the place somewhere

 

That was not a bird dog on my dash

 

Probably not many of us left that know what they are!

 

My grandpa on my mom’s side had one and I don’t think he ever went faster than 5mph under the speed limit. Guess it made him feel like an outlaw in his pickup lol

 

Go to the next stop sign, right on FM1424, left on CR130, one mile west, half mile north, half mile west, our house was on the south side of CR140.
From where you took that picture to our house was 6-7 minutes.
I use to park right along 1424 to avoid driving on 2 miles of dirt road every day.
Who knows, you might’ve seen my rig at some point.
