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

A cow isn't divisible though - at least not until it gets inside the plant.

 

Haha that's true! They get everything but the moo at the packing plant!

 

And they'd get that too if they could figure out a way to make money off of it.

 

The truck I was driving when I picked you up at the airport has a conglomeration of wires similar to that. I was having trouble with it few weeks ago not starting. Crank over fine, not slow or sluggish just wouldn’t start.

After doing some searching and asking questions I had 6 men tell me to change the batteries. One man mentioned the battery on the drivers side took care of the auxiliary electrical side of the truck. Separated the batteries and found that the drivers side battery was a weak under load test. New battery and it’s back to normal. Nice when all that electronics work, but a pain in the back side when they aren’t…..

 

Eastbound I-40 in Tennessee this morning about mm 345.
A big pine tree fell between him and the car he was following. The tree nearly hit the car.

 

Is he OK?

It breaks my heart to see a 359 in that kind of shape, but hopefully they'll get it straightened out and rolling again.

 

Yes, he’s fine, PTL. He said if he had been loaded, not able to slow down as much as he did, and the tree would’ve been high enough to be above the hood, he doubts he’d be alive right now.
He said no matter what insurance does, he’s not turning loose of the truck. Just last year he had swapped an electronic N-14 into it.

 

I’ve got a yard full of nice parts for the right people

 

Ain’t a cow truck but ain’t bad
