Lol good point. Actually what I typed came from another me members signature but its all true.Joetro Thanks this.
-
Its true for the most part. You did leave out smart alec, lol. I was coming out of Nogales 2 weeks ago heard a driver say to another we got made here comes a bull hauler and our front door. I tried to resist but I couldn't as I passed the one in front I bumped them UP horns, picked up the mic said boys don't try to run with me you'll blow that little motor up. Yea I took a cussin but it was fun. I wouldn't have it no other way
-
Lol yes I did forget that. I'd blow the motor put of mine trying to keep up with the legs your rig has. I prefer to look at it as were ornery lol real onery. I just love hearing them boys holler when the cow trucks start rolling by, hey cow truck you mind if I tuck in there behind you? No don't mind at all but you better keep up haha.
Gotta love it, I was driving through the fog didn't even keep a log we was east of Amarillo somewhere it finally got where I could see it was me and double T we had his empty cow trailer back there, well I had another gear when I looked in to the mirror I seen this chicken truck a comin up behind, so I shifted once more and when I put it to the floor I left that triple digit chicken truck behind hahaha. Story of our lives right there c'mon -
Well theres Elk city, Clinton, Weatherford , and el Reno east of Amarillo. I run through there alot to Champion at Hereford and Mule shoe. They don't run in west Texas like they used to. I'm sure it will change some more but I'm gonna ride it out till they won't let my ol pete on the road.

42 I'm going to have a lot of west Texas come the 30th. Boss is talking belle fourche SD down to the pan handle reload out of elreno back up to broken bow, or O'Neill. I'm in a tight spot, got promises to keep, and bills to pay. Told the boss I needed miles and loads. Probably gonna aggravate the fire out of a couple of the other boys taking loads a few loads. I ain't proud of the hole that has been dug, I'm not proud of what I have to do to get out of it, never shoudlve got in it in the first place.
When I called the boss last week and explained things, told him I got a truck, need to get out of the hole, I need every load you can throw on me. He said no problem. Think sellin my soul to the devil would've been a lot easier, safer, and probably would've got me out of the hole a lot faster. But it wouldn't have been half the fun, nor would I have the story to swap at a truck stop some day. Few weeks ago I was thinking bout hanging it up and calling it quits. Had a good friend tell me ######## you ain't hanging it up and don't ever tell me you are I ain't hung it up yet, you can't hang it up. Suppose that as the kick in the teeth I needed. Well get er worked out. Buddy gave me the handle bandit for a reason. Always did what they said couldn't be done why stop now right? Merry Christmas y'all have a happy new year and keep em rollin! -
Anything Extra I will send your way, we all been there and do what we have to. I don't think none of these boys will be aggravated. They won't miss a load or two. Be safe, come see us.

Bullrack vs Chicken truck--hmm--where have I heard all this before? LMAO
In some respects glad to see its still around--in todays pc compliant truckin world--since between fuel costs--insurance etc....all the fun is slowly becoming a thing of the past--but lets just say--for alot of years there was a cowbell hangin on the back o my stainless--just to pick on yall--and--and while there where a FEW that got close enuff to it--there were plenty that cussed MOI--as I shoved it up against the dashboard and jus kinda giggled as I faded away...........
Merry Christmas379exhd Thanks this. -
I ought not tell this but I will. Probly 8 to 10 years ago I was coming across there out in the monfront lane thought I was the only truck out that late. A hand come on the radio said bull hauler you east bound just as I seen his lights in the mirror. 42 was my reply. If you would hand hold that right lane I gotta go is what he he said. The nerve of that chicken hauler was my thought but I told him just come on up here chicken hauler if you can I said as I mashed it. Glad I moved over cause slow and steady here he come. All I could say was chicken hauler done all the showing out I can do. He said I gave him a good run and if he was in ok city when I got there rattle his cage cause he was late. It was a sky or baby blue 359 black fenders and top pulling a spread axle reefer painted same color with the top and bottom rail black. Not seen him sense but he was idling when he come by me. I have wanted a BIG TRUCK since lol.

Getting off topic here but when & why did they tear down the Conway ar. barn? Came through there a month or so ago & saw it was gone. I hauled some in there back in 07 when we had that drought here in tn.
