There’s two things ‘wrong’ with that song. There is no way a trucker would haul just 85 crates a’ USDA-approved cluckers. Eighty five crates might stack up to three foot nine, not thirteen-nine.
The best part of that video is lookin at all the tire marks where the trucker decides WHOA, slow down big girl. That’s a long drop off the sides there.
How many birds to the box?
The dimensions I'm used to locally are 23" wide, 18" deep and 11" tall. The posts are 10" tall. These crates will hold at least five adult chickens or for transporting 3-4 week old chicks to pasture. They're sized for moving in a pickup, not of a flatbed.

There are a couple of them like that in Arizona that had me hugging the uphill side, and one or two in Colorado, though I'm sure there are dozens, hundreds of others. But I never worked the Interstates much, and I don't plan to again.
In Wyoming, we got what we call *two tracks* country roads with weeds growing up between the ruts. And snow for 6, 8 sometimes ten months a year....
Naw. They usually seemed to slow down and let me pass by. Sometimes they'd even pull over to the side of the road.
And none of the guys at the truck stops wanted to park next to me. You reckon it was that chili and beans I had for lunch?
