Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

Ol man winter's coming sooner or later

 

Can't say I'm looking forward to him arriving.

 

I'd try my best to never darken his door again.

 

I deliver aa lot of Shoup Manufacturing parts to farmers. It comes out of Kankakee and its usually next day shipping if it's priority. It's usually 500 lb pallets though.

Although we have started delivering small boxes from Sam's club, yesterday it was a 7 lb box of shampoo. How it makes fiscsl sense to ship that on a tractor trailer and not Fedex ground or express is beyond me.

Here it is, I've got one today going to a lady's house

 

Preciate the permission

 

Fairly common when we were young, now they look strange with everything being so long from the factory.

I hauled 2 F-450 shorties this year, first I've seen in years.

Very. Maybe once a year I would see an F-350 short dually.

Almost all the short WB duallies we see are chassis. Not exactly a common sight, but probably see more of those than we see half-ton short wides.

 

Kind of a mutt load today..

 

Nothing can piss me off any more than a place that won’t fix their #### and you end up like that

 

That’s maddening.
