I have wondered if you had any alligator/python road encounter stories to tell since you ran where there is an abundance of both.I only used the lockout on our pushers when exceeding 46mph, (it squishes phytons better)

Back when I ran the extra board that far South, you didn't hear much about those things.
We did have a driver who bought an alligator in Hazlehurst GA, tied it on the pipe that runs between the 2 landing gears, and brought it to Charl.
I do recall running over a snake so big, that it got tangled in the drive duels and choked my engine down.
Those KB11s never had too much power.
Just curious, was your nickname "Pinocchio" back in those days?Back when I ran the extra board that far South, you didn't hear much about those things.

Still is.Just curious, was your nickname "Pinocchio" back in those days?
No joke Tri, back in the '60s I saw snakes so big, in the Ga swamps that I wouldn't have left the truck until daylight if I had a breakdown.Still is.
Not phytons, just big ugly ole snakes.
I believe you Breeze. And the python situation in the Everglades is an ecological disaster from what I've read.

I know a guy that claims he was running across Alligator Alley and hit a big gator and it took the steer axle clean off his truck…Back when I ran the extra board that far South, you didn't hear much about those things.

I did see a car have the front end totaled just S. of Estill S C on 321 by running over one.

So I guess after hitting the gator the car went from running a high rate of speed to sitting… Estill?
3 drunks at about 2 am, I gave one a ride into town.So I guess after hitting the gator the car went from running a high rate of speed to sitting… Estill?
I only had 1 seat, he almost fell out of the truck when I got to town.
You're right, Victor.So I guess after hitting the gator the car went from running a high rate of speed to sitting… Estill?
That takes too longShould have stopped and had a proper lunch instead of trying to eat and drive at the same time.
