    You would think either one of those two idiots would've seen you coming and got out of it.

    Everybody talks about the new drivers for "mega" companies but that looked like a "Super Trucker" Bull Wagon!

    PSHEW, ( wiping brow)what was that a bullrack? They are and always have been notoriously bad drivers. I think because it's such a crappy job, nobody but farmboys would do it, slogging through feces all day. Maybe they think they can make their own rules. Good work, shows you're a good driver. That's happened to me, had to hit the shoulder, all in a nights work for a driver.:thumbup:

    Boys there are good and bad in every line of trucking. Cow hauling is not a crappy job it #### sure beats pulling cans or worse running for a mega. We all got our niche this isn't a one size fits all. I'm not defending the idiot in the video I'm just saying no need in bashing all of us. If I went to posting every idiot that steps out in front of me........

    I apologize, and changed my post. Personally, I think hauling animals is the most challenging( I was going to say disgusting, but then remembered) of all trucking jobs, even food service. I said on the other post, food service was the most demanding, only because I doubt any food service driver would pull a bull rack. I rarely eat meat, so to me, bull racks are pretty bad, from a PITA point of view, but for the rest, it's a pretty important job. It's a good thing someone does it.

    Not bad. Nice control on the shoulder. You made it smooth. Nice little video. I say again, very good driving. You will be alright. I liked your management of the evolving scenario long before it reached a crisis.

    Unfortunately it's routine.

    The worst time for me ever was I was tired after loading at Shedds in SW Baltimore all day, that country crock butter they sell today. (Bought a box this morning...) anyway... I come up 15, in the section prior to the River Crossing of the railroads and removal of that mountain to make two lane four and a safer road.

    I drifted across the yellow double in my cabover and woke up to consider that the visual position of the double was unnaturally too far right in the left window. Looked up and here we are opposite south bound coming on and no place for him to put it. Both of us were excess of speed.

    I horsed her and then fought the trailer before she went into the river. But the process of moving back right our trailers pretty much had no light between them. My truck and probably his shivered really badly.

    That I consider a birth day. This first week of November. So something for me to consider in remembering. And a birth day for him too whoever he was. He did say he was ok on the radio as the other 30 of us sorted it out. It was convoy night north of Harrisburg. On US 15.
     
    James j and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I personally wouldn’t want to haul livestock. Too messy....

    But, somebody has to do it so the rest of us can eat. :)
