From My Dash Cam

I couldn't do that, I can barely stand walking across the same side of a parking lot near one.

Once I saw a guy hauling sheep pull up to the fuel line at loves and about 75 gallons of sheep diarrhea spilled out the back while he was waiting to fuel. He then proceeded to repeatedly back over it with his tires to spread it out, so I guess it would be less noticeable or something.

 

Its ok. I could not haul bulls. Horses maybe but not cattle. I have too much empathy for them being taken slaughter houses. Been in too many of them. prefer the ones where I just collect meat in boxes rather than meet the ones yet to go up the tower for kill. I just made it work for myself. God only knows our Nation needs that meat and BAD. Most people have no idea.

Keep in mind I focused on the driver's acts in camera managing the situation, there is no point in knowing what vehicle until it's all over.

 

I'm not a vegetarian, but could be. I worked on a couple dairy farms, and saw 1st hand the atrocities that go on behind the scenes. Most people just loved a cold, frosty glass of milk. I say, if you knew what went on to get that milk, I guarantee you wouldn't drink it.

 

Way more to cattle hauling than slaughter animals. I can count on both hands the times I been to a slaughterhouse in 20 years of pulling a pot

 

I was to a slaughterhouse once, Packerland Packing, Green Bay. A friend was picking up a load of hides, whiich was kind of gross, my buddy said, if you eat meat, you should see the "killing floor". Naturally, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was pretty raw. I never forgot it.

 

From what I was taught they use a massive defib type device once a cow got up top on that floor in the tower.

ZZT! Dead. Heart stops instantly or nearly so.

The problem I have with it is the blades come out. They don't have time to be dead a #### minute.

 

Fresh warm milk is actually better, at least goat milk is I've never had cow milk that fresh. Nothing beats farm fresh milk that's never been to the creamery. I've worked on a dairy and have a rough idea how much other stuff gets in with the milk, I still like it.

 

Holy #### OP! So glad you're ok man!

this video scares the #### out of me. I think I would've overreacted and flipped it, trying to avoid it. I hate to say that, but especially as a newbie I just don't think my instincts would've kicked in appropriately.

I can't imagine what both drivers in front of you were thinking. I've had this happen in daylight (with people passing me with oncoming traffic) and I ALWAYS slowed down immediately, while blaring my air horn, to let the passer pass safely and get into the other lane.

Just incredible instincts on your part though, OP, not over adjusting and flipping the truck/trailer. God bless you man. You have been given a second chance at life. #### this is scary to watch.

 

Nice save driver. We can only imagine.
Glad your still with us.

 

Even today the memory of walking into a farm milk room is really sharp. The nose really knows how good that stuff is before it goes into the tanker trailer. Ive had a few dairy farmers take a cup and urge me to try it.

It's something else I tell you. Not particularly for me being too much of a city boy off them gallon jugs of processed milk, but imagine possibly what might have been lost between milkhouse and grocery store shelf jug....
