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

Nothing custom about it. Just rare.

 

My brother has a single cab, pickup bed 2020 F450 that he bought new. Put a flat bed on it last year. I loved how it looked with the pickup bed on it.
There are at least 3 configured that way around here. My favorite is a black 2024 with the HO 6.7 in it. You talk about a bad cat.

 

930 miles in 22 hours. 170 left to go. This #### is like cow trucking

 

say it ain’t so! I just read a thread on here where a fellow was fuming that Schneider is running his wheels off. To the point where he can never be on time for deliveries. How can you ever do that on less than 10 hours of sleep?

 

Dang look at this beauty!

Pretty common up my way, will see them pulling gooseneck in urban settings, seems they want the shorter wheelbase for manoeuvrability. Around home when I go rural to see my folks, never see any regular cab setups though

 

regular cabs are fairly common around me, but the unicorns around here would be a crew cab short bed dually. RAM made one for a while, not sure if anyone else does anymore? Dad looked long and hard for one for several years, I guess I can’t remember if he just couldn’t find one in his budget, or if they just flat out weren’t available?

 

Actual Garrard rig I ran last... Pic taken at the last WB plaza the day the Indiana East/West toll road opened.
I went east on US30, and came back on it...

 

Can’t recall seeing that particular combo off hand, I wonder if it messes with the weight capacity over the rear axle? Would probably be like looking for a full set of hens teeth
Added…don’t think it would mess with the weight capacity, but can fill a set of encyclopedias with what I don’t know

 

This single cab had a sticker price of 69k. They had a cab chassis single cab for 64. I won’t be able to fit one in my budget any time soonish
