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

I am done with the ice. Other than two walks Been sitting at the house for 3 days and just found out work is canceled for tomorrow

 

Yes, you have to put the center hooks in place before loading, but I don’t strap until done, unless I’m doing a belly strap part way up the stack.
The hooks are J shaped, and to put them in you lay them down on the trailer deck, then as you rotate them into the upright position the bottom of the J hooks under the lip on the track. You want them pointing at the side the winch is on, because if you try to pull them past 90°, something will break.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Here’s a picture to help.

 

Yes, it does. I have a dozen or so j-hooks for our Reitnouer, and it has the center gooves as well, but I haven't used the center grooves at all. We don't haul much, but I do use them for tying down logs when we have our bunks on.

 

FIFY

 

Me and Spud is in trouble. I guess his Mahm doesn’t like us laying in bed eating popcorn. It’s not like we’re under the cover sheesh

 

The local dirt haulers had a bad day

 

Don’t reach for sandwich while driving @105,000….

this concludes today’s lesson from the DOT outside Ellensburg, WA

 

Dang. Looks like an Arlo G Lott truck.. im wondering where he went off at. Most the road up there is pretty straight.. lol

 

Lemme guess...183 & Hwy 80?

 

I don't think so because I went through that intersection around 2 and there was no damage anywhere. I'm guessing that happened around the HEB on Hwy 90.
