I had my co-pilot with me today and got a slightly better description of the westbound birds!
Monday 11:45 a.m. Mile Marker 229 -- between Phoenix and Arizona.
You were headed West - TV is a Ford King Ranch (per color of paint job) 4x4 Double cab. The burnt orange paint job says King Ranch Truck.
The bird was probably about 30' (5er)
Hope you had a great drive!
