Livestock hauler forum?

I'll second that!

 

I really think you might be shocked. I feel strongly that our numbers exceed several of the categories you already have. Just us cattle haulers alone much less agriculture as an aggregate. There is a major shortage of qualified or even trainable drivers in livestock hauling. Takes a completely different skillset and traits to do the job. Also our rules are different concerning eld and weights. The only forum available to us (besides social media which many of us have little to do with) is one that is cumbersome to use and attached to a load board.

 

We need a popcorn stand too.

 

Fine. Forget it. I see posts under other threads every little bit from someone interested in hauling stock. There was a whole segment on it here several years ago. Wore out gave a good presentation on it to someone and I think I may have chimed in. Anyway throughout the years I have seen several people on here inquiring about what it takes. We are a speak when spoken to crowd in some instances and live by alot of old school rules. It is not like we are going to just strike up a conversation in ask an experienced.... or o.o. forum out of the blue amongst ourselves. We really don't fit in too well and don't want to make a nuisance of ourselves. It would be nice to have a place where we could discuss industry specific issues, like washout locations or sale barn info. Things of that nature that mean absolutely nothing to others. And a place where people that think they might want to give it a shot could ask questions and maybe learn something from us that have been around that might save there life, among other things. Btw, there are advertising opportunities in this industry as well. I know there are some Facebook pages that are specific to our industry but in the light of things many of us choose to support MZ as little as possible. I wasn't spoiling for a fight and tried to ask my question in a polite and professional manner. Your cynical tone in your reply kinda let's me know where we stand. Next time you have a burger (if ever?), think about what it took to get it to your plate. More than one driver I can assure you. Thanks for your time.
