Bull hauler rolls on South bound I-17

According to report the Arizona dept of public safety is reporting that the driver was driving for 17 hrs and is now looking at several violations.

 

I hope he's OK. I worked for a Bullhauler in the past and a driver rolled one in TX. I had the job of killing the ones left. 4 total, 1200 lb steers. It was a nasty job and another driver whined to the owner that I had been allowed to keep all the beef so I was told to give him a quarter. I had a rear quarter which laid outside under a tarp overnight (34 degrees) and dogs had chewed on it. I gladly gave it to him. BWAHAHA We used to leave OKC at 7PM, go to Den in 12 hr, return to OKC and pickup another load for Den. About killed me several times. Good ol days of straight stack Cummins with a 4 X 4 and 1 hr naps over the steering wheel.

 

These morons fly past all day long. Maybe someday they'll learn that whatever you have behind you is not worth a life! But I doubt it.

Article says he was uninjured. About killed you several times and you brag about it. You're part of the problem out here.

 

You would probably be surprised what cattle haulers, chicken haulers and produce haulers do on a regular basis, all to keep fresh food on our tables.
It's part of the reality you weren't taught in school.

 

Thank you for the insight into that end of the food racket. As usual, anything wrong falls on the driver.

I am so happy to be out of the grocery chain. Call me lazy or whatever and I'll probably agree with you. My opinion is the food industry is crooked from the fields clear out to the stores, one end to the other. It got that way because of government meddling. Farmer can load animals he knows aren't in the best shape and the driver is responsible for their health...despite the fact he has them for less that one percent of their lives. The driver is responsible for them peeing and pooping, thus, losing weight. What's he supposed to do? Cork 'em up?

 

Seeing as i haul beef... (boxed or combo-not live) I have seen how tired some the bull haulers are when they pull into Dodge City, Ks or Brawley, Ca. Most of the ones in Dodge pass out at the Flying J for a day or so..

I have seen Bull racks from as far as South Dakota in Brawley, and yes the drivers were VERY tired. Couldn't pay me enough to haul the live beef.

Yes, some food haulers do "creative writing". I choose not to.

 

Them bull haulers get kinda cranky at delivery time, too.

I was leaving the Excel plant (Tyson? Whatever...they're all the same company now.) after delivering pallets. The exit is not marked. I went to the right because I saw two coming in and wanted to stay out of their way. The first one pulled his air brake in the center lane and dressed me down for being in their gate. Well, if you're in such a big hurry, why waste time hollering at me for something there was no way I could know I was doing wrong? Take them bulls where they gotta go and adapt your route ten feet. A pound a minute, right? You lost two pounds yelling at me. And your buddy behind you did, too.

 

Ya but,I am sure they will now find sittting on the stool a much easier job after you tore them a new A-Hole??
