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

That's Justin's truck.

That was our main deal when I was there. Energy Booster outbound to commercial dairy farms in Texas, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Colorado. Some of the short haul guys ran Wisconsin and Michigan with the belt trailer.

 

I really didn't even consider the price much as there is no way I should have it, but it sure is perty to look at!

 

I partnered on that W9 he was in just cause that’s what he wanted to drive. Top shelf all the way he was.

We was loading in Green Forest at a Mennonites place to go West. Idk how many trucks they was and Howard was having the worst of days. He got worried about Doc getting run over cause he was stirred up. Anyway one of Docs vices was if you had a bottle of any kind in your truck he’d chew the lid off. With Howard’s sugar he kept gallon water jugs. Doc chewed the lid off 3 that day… poured every one in his sleeper floor. Just trying to get a drink. Howard showed me all three with the biggest smile like Doc got me. Then said don’t get on to him I told him to get in my truck I knew what was coming. Any one else been smokin mad. I present Doc as the best dog ever cause he was my dog. But in truth he was a grade A m’fer. Ol Howard he worried bout us like we was his. That’s un replaceable today.

 

It sure is unreplaceable.

If I remember correctly the first time I met Doc was at that little fuel stop in Kansas all you were parked at. He p issed on my steer tire just to let me know he was running the show and no 'effs were given.

 

You are correct. Howard and I were together that day, I had no idea you was around you just recognized my truck and Indianed up on us to say hello.
I can see the dirt lot and the subway in side but can’t remember the name of town to save me. Though I know I unloaded at Centerfire that morning about daylight

 

Montezuma that’s where we was

 

My thoughts exactly!

 

The world is right again

 

It was east of Sublette or might have been Sublette I can't remember either. I do remember the dirt lot and the Subway.

I about wore that corridor out running down to Hereford and Clovis. Never cared much for 54 tried to stay off it best I could. Too many door swingers out of National Beef in Liberal getting in the way.

 

A fella and a couple of friends could use one of those to launch big water balloons clear over the high school at lunch time with the help of some surgical tubing and two guys standing in the back of a 49 Willys with a homemade roll bar the first real warm day of the spring in Moscow Idaho about 1976.............to quote my friend @tramm01 , not that I would know about such things!
