I was coming home(Ohio) from North Dakota I was on I 94 east bound. I know I was running 80-82 mph. I was in the slow lane still making decent time. I look back in the side mirrors. Usually if it’s a company truck they are speed limited 75 or maybe 77 (I own my own truck). I see this truck pulling closer in my mirror. Here it is 5 loaded cattle haulers running 90 mph. They walked past me in the slow lane and like I said I was at 80-82 mph.

Facts

Not just men either. Some of us have some old left lane runners in the barn. 1987 359exhd, 3408 v8 Cat, 6 speed Spicer with a 4 speed splitter box. Getting a full complete off frame job. Hoping to have it back on the road by 2024. Family truck passed down.

I'm am early 30s and always on the fence about trucking. I'd love to haul cattle though.

@@MsNomad-ue8zr should be just men

@@thestinkycheeseman2208 it’s fun at times and not so fun at other times. Like trying to wash out when there’s 4 inches of frozen cow shit inside

@@MrFTBL2000 Oh I spent the first part of my life working large cattle ranches out west. Frozen cow shit don't bother me

STRAIGHT UP TRUTH 💯

@Crystal-ib2ub about the only ones that will respond on the cb other than the drivers with the nice trucks, dump trucks and log trucks.

That is correct! Last 6 months skip/ dx conditions are ruining 19 for many truckers in certain areas. Lots of useless chatter.

@@13keystone90 We're in a huge solar cycle now so the skip will be here for a year or so. This is noisy on 11 meter, but very exciting using my Export radio on 10 meter SSB Ham. A Ham license is pretty easy to get now, just want to toss that out there.

I cannot think of not having a 2 way in a big rig.🦇

That's a good one

wow....youre so cool.

I used to run with Montfort trucks. Those boys flat strolled. Anything you heard about the owner was true

that was classic as hell. !!!

8596 the cow dog running hot let's go

Yep, .... Keep Them Tires Cool

Just tonight, ran 95 behind a bull hauler, from slc all the way to the nevada border. No ears, but we covered some ground quickly.

Hear say on the cb doesn't hold up in court. Do really think there are cb's in law enforcement vehicles these days?

@@13keystone90 Yeah there are. Your right hearsay on the cb is not evidence but being called out by other drivers calls their attention. So you have to slow down for a while.

@@daveweed2765 You are the only one slowing down. It is 80mph out there......

@@13keystone90 LOL. I guess no one ever told you, not all trucks are neutered and not everyone runs ELDs. When I here as a selling point for a company that they have turned their trucks up to 68 mph on SXM I have to shake my head. Corporations and government compliance for a gig that used to be fun. 80 mph now in some states. Whoops! Please note the sarcasm. My ol' 78 K100 the speedo don't go past 80 numerically. It just kind of bounces. I won't say how fast my GPS tell me. But at night running The Blue Hair 500 between Vegas and Reno just hammer down and watch for the wild jackals. This is one stretch I have been scolded on and flashed blues. Night is OK to pass the megatrucks and between dark and light the RVs usually don't travel. Just slow down through the towns though. When you cross over the cattle guards you better be right on the speed. But OTR we ate not always in Nevada.

it also kills your gas mileage, meaning you'll need more fuel to get there sooner, so thanks for supporting Russia, the middle east, and Canada, I'm sure they love all this extra oil to send to America!

Hammer down and lit!

🤣🤣🤣

😆qqqqqqqqqq

10-4 on the toothpicks. I know what you mean.

The smell does linger but that driver knows the difference!

That's what is known as the sweet smell of success.

That doesn't look fun!

Not all of them, you obviously never seen Hatfield company drivers. They’re horrible

Yes

Gonna get my cdl back and haul me some bulls they got them long legged petes

Yes

@@13keystone90 Thank you

I don't think so, we only need communication for short range. Usually, stock radios are all you need. Locals and big radios sometimes take up channel 19 playing stupid and you cannot communicate when needed. They do have radios with fm that would eliminate the big radios from interfering but most truckers I don't think will change,

@@13keystone90 yeah. I got the new Cobra 75. Has FM band too.

Yes

I wonder this too

In my opinion they should be legally allowed to go as fast as safely possible their hauling live cargo and the shorter they are inside those trailers the better I think a lot of most cops understand that

If they stop them they have to provide the cattle with a water source and resting area so most just leave them alone I’ve heard there’s some cops that have a list of people that will run for you if they put you out of service

@@Lonewolf-qo3hk that sounds made up but I'll believe you just because I've seen these guys running been passed here in Oklahoma

We stay outta each others lane

Send me $50 and I will allow you to hear the premium version......

Damn sounds almost like it does when your running down the road in the truck. 😂

This fucking guy LOL

@@13keystone90 one way or another, still trying to make the money huh, lol

Close enough!

@@13keystone90 haha wheres it at driver?

@@angelomarquez1149 East of Van Horn, Texas!

Oh. 10-4

Well if you see a white with orange fenders 379 day cab out there give a holler i go by cholo

It’s 100 degrees with livestock in the back. No time to waste ….

@@XrpAndy are they not afraid of getting tickets for speeding?

A ticket is probably cheaper than if half their haul dies of heat stroke

​@@natanmysli4825 they don't really mess with us knowing we have livestock on, as long as we are not in and out of lanes and driving recklessly.

@@gq-cw6xi no my truck does triple digits although I typically don't go that fast mostly keep it around 95 loaded, in Texas most our speed limits are 75 & 85 mph

Thank you ❤️

There is no way I could drive something this big, going this fast. 80% of anxiety, not knowing whether other drivers will do. 20% anxiety from my own skills or lack thereof.

Thank you very much

@@asafaust8869 if you pay attention, check your equipment and love to drive there’s nothing wrong with putting the hammer down! Real truckers who pay attention gain a keen instinct to what a car is gonna do before they do it. These company steering wheel holders are on the phone which is why they end up in a Ravine or causing 15 miles of traffic from a wreck.

Not in West Texas!
