Cow shit!

[Grubber]

Stock Truck drivers are cunts and they smell.

A broad assumption i feel.
The ones i know only smell when they are at work.
They would be one the hardest working bunch of people i know, so they can smell all they like as far as i'm concerned.
When i roll up behind any of them they always let me go with a blink on their indicators. God blokes through and through.

AH that explains it, Your a stocktruck driver. No wonder why your such a dick.

Once again you wonder why they dislike city slickers like you. With an attitude like that it's now wonder. I would back a dairy farmer way before i would back you!

Dickhead, can you not get it through your head that I am not from the city,you must be completely retarded.[/QUOTE]

Maybe you should stop sounding like an arrogant arse then. May help a bit.
What did you say,,, "i just love taking their money off them" Yea that's the attitude that does it for me. Maybe it's because of prats like you that they moan all the time. Lets face it, you wouldn't have a job if they didn't exist. Cause i sure as hell wouldn't employ you.
Grow up Dude!

Funnilly enough, stock don't stop shitting just because it's been in a yard for 3 hours. They still shit no matter what. Just the way it is. Yes i have been a farmer myself so i do know.
Like i said earlier, it's not always the overflow that comes out of the crates, it's the fresh stuff that comes straight over the side. Once again it's just the way it is.
I've been riding for some 35 years and a lot of that on the back roads and have never ever had an issue with this. Not sure what everyones problem is to be honest.[/QUOTE]

Funnily enough stock shit a lot less after they have stood for 3-4 hours, do your homework. And you know I am right.

Been there and done that, yes they shit less but they don't stop. Been on stock trucks before so i do know my stuff thanks.
Been a farmer as well so i know a bit of my stuff there also.

how do the ferries manage? I bet they don't put up with stock shitting all over the boat.
Stand the stock, have holding tanks under the truck decks, with the decks having scuppers that drain into the tanks. Therefore can't see why we should have to put up with trucks spraying shit on the roads.

The trucks drain into their holding tanks on the boat and there is no swingin around so to speak while your stationary on the boat, that's how!
In saying that, there is always some splash that hits the decks. It doesn't kill ya and the smell is more the animal and not the shit when your on the boat with them. I've done many crossings on my bike with cattle trucks on board and don't find it offensive at all. If ya don't like it ya just stand in a different spot, job done.

[MrKiwi]

And it is with this attitude that you bring farmers reputation into shame. Anyone who thinks it is ok to let shit pour all over our roads is just entertaining contemptuous nonsense.

As someone from the farming community my message to you is simple - get with it instead of retaining anal retentive beliefs.

As I have a tendency to suffer seasickness those ferries swing and bounce around more than enough for me
No, its not the smell that kills you.
The holding tanks and what they have to do for the ferries would be why there isn't much of an issue with spillage on SH1 out of Welly so why not on the other public highways?

Just heard that nz farmers are getting a $435million dollar irrigation package potentially paving the way for 1 million more cows.
What will this mean!!! more clearing of land for more grazing, reduced stream flows to deal with the increased pollution, and more shit on the road.
I think new zealand will remain green but not from our native trees and bush, but from standing pads and polluted green filth working its way into our waterways and down our favorite piece of road.
And with fonterra paying out more record prices to dairy farmers, the mighty dollar will make more sense than our environment.
And dont even get me started on trustpower.

The whole thing to me seems a bit one sided! As a motorhome owner and a member of the NZMCA, we are constantly advised of the high penalties for driving without the cap on the dump valve. This is an extra precaution against the odd drip of waste that may ooze through the very efficient slide valve.
I often wonder how many times I could drive over the Gore bridge with my dump valves open before I was stopped.
I was riding to the Magpie Madness rally a couple of years ago, with two other members of this forum, one who has already posted in this thread, when I met a stock truck coming the other way on a bend. As he came around towards me, centrifugal force flung several bucketfuls of the dreaded cowpoos all over me.
Almost spoiled my weekend!

Exactly! I had forgotten the dreaded centrifugal force

Apparently they only give the stock trucks to the dumbest members of a driving fleet,so most of them would not know wether the dump valve is on or off anyway. And I am sure they think those bays with the effluent dumps are just somewhere to stop and eat their lunch and tell more lies in their log books.

This would have to be a troll. There is a fairly high quality driver required for stock. Animal welfare and upkeep on stock trucks is not a job for a joe. Plenty of strict criteria to be met with the job. Perhaps more than required to drive a bulldozer even!
