If you're able to show them pics of nice, clean equipment, that will help, and be sure to have your cargo insurance in place before you ever talk to anybody or you'll probably never get anywhere. Kinda blunt, but that's just the way it is. Good luck.JolliRoger and Coffey Thank this. -
Pig hauling
Yes it changes the economics now you haul pigs on way cows back . Pig hauling is been slashed and cut so bad on rates their isnt alot of proffit after you washout before and after every pig load.bottom line its alotta work for 5.25 or even 6 bucks a hundred . Thats on a 1200 mile trip.their are easier and less smelly way to make chump change reefer pays better so does stepdeck also you cant just park in july at a rest area for a nap your pigs will die from heat.alotta stress and liabilities when u haul pigs it can get very expensive just ask gurney!Coffey Thanks this. -
When i started trucking u had to have at least 5 to 10 years experience to have anyone even consider u for training. Now days u have these 21 22 year old kids thinking their pretty special cause mascarrow will give them a fancy 200000 dollar show truck to drive the sad thing is that any one with experience wont drive for them and knows better. These kids look rite at a big yellow warning sign with a highcentered cow truck on the sign and think i can make it across these trax ! Im too cool to get stuck! Luckily the dingdong jumped out out the truck when he heard the ding ding ding ding! There isnt any room in this business for ######## behavior the liability is quite high!shawnhhllc, easytopleez33 and Coffey Thank this. -
