Parked Here for the Night

Welp finally parked for a bit . Good thing too because I am starving !!!!!

I unloade 50,620 lbs for an average hog weight of 310. Lol
some of them had to be pushing 350 , and I know they were heavy because I finally had to drag a dead one off

I might weigh 180 lbs , so amagine that . Me trying to pull a dead 310 lb pig of my trailer . Oh and you'll never guess where it was .

Bottom nose pen ..

 

No cable and winch ??

Last ever cattle load I hauled the driver in the chute next to me had 3 down, all 3 had to be put down (shot) and winched off..

 

At the house not sure for how long..

 

Ran the bypass lane in Ashlan scale. Surprised Oregon didn't stop me.

Nice and warm 29° fog rolling in just watched a "rust truck" roll south from the scales. Camping in phoenix for the night.

Didn't see any reports for snow?

 

There was another guy useing it , and I wasnt waiting for his three dead ones to be winched off .lol

I pulled up beside where we pull them out , opened the gate that leads into the belly ( for the third deck ) dropped it into the belly and then pulled it out the side door.

I am not as dumb as I look ... hahahahahaha

Work smarter not harder , right ?

 

you're learning fast !!

 

Guess I will get around and make a small circle before Wednesday. I hate to miss turkey day

 

Told ya you would do just fine. I have seen 3 of our guys in the last year drag them from the belly, up the steps and out the back..

 

GT sounds like you gettin figured out. Glad you liking the new gig. Clearfield Pa @ Sapp Bros. Drop my last stop right down the hill in the AM. Wind been blowing like hell all day long. Gonna resist the urge to venture down to the bar. Try to get reloaded tomorrow and then head back south. Cajun fried turkey looks to be on the menu when I get back. Y'all have a good un. Check y'all later!

 

Pilot I70 x208 in OH. Wind was pushing me around too even with 45K in the box. Will drop on Columbus in AM then reload for Jersey and a couple days off for the holiday. Right now I'm exhausted.
