As a former long hauler myself, I can really relate to Gumby! Funniest thing I ever saw was a guy on a custom build in the Denver area splitting lanes in a traffic jam. The truck ahead of me was a pot headed to the packing plant. We were stopped due to a traffic jam and nothing was moving. Then here comes this guy splitting lanes in flip flops and shorts on his scoot. He got right up beside the cattle pot and stopped. Then a heifer on the 2nd level decided her bowels needed to be let loose right then and there. She was obviously turned sideways with her posterior against one of the vents and had been watered recently. Here's this guy who can't go anywhere just getting plastered with cow manure and nowhere to go...! He dumped the bike and sprinted 3 lanes to the shoulder. Damned near busted a gut from laughing so hard! I felt for the guy, but come on! Common sense dictates that if you can smell it from 100 yards away, you don't cruise up next to it!

 

This experience surely taught me that !

 

Ya, been there. A couple weeks ago mama and I got on the interstate and came up on a stock hauler. We gased it and as soon as we got to the rear to go around and a steady stream shot out the left side all over us. She was a little behind so I got the worst of it. I worked in a truck stop after high school and hated changing tires on stock trucks. Pigs and chicken trucks are the worst. They would **** on you every time !!!

 

I was born and raised in Iowa. You learn at a young age, hopefully from others' experiences, that you give livestock a wide berth whether they are on foot or in a truck/trailer.
