Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

I saw your pic you posted on the platform up in the Big Sky Country ...NICE !!
Reckon I'll send you a spoon for that gravy ..LOL

 

The pot licker of our operation. Some say the brains too....which I won’t dispute. A good friend took this down in Oklahoma the other day. Thought it was worth sharing

 

All i can say is, i love Steak, keep em coming boys. Just a give me a heads up 20 seconds before you blow past my doors doing 85+. That #### scares me when your wind tunnel just pushes me to the side.

 

here's a night I'll always remember, still waiting for my detention. Blizzard ended time to go load. Called the site owner and told him we'd be there in an hour. He said okay he'll have it cleared out. Turn up the gravel road and not a single track in the snow. Tried pulling in the driveway and made it about that far. Hour later after many phone calls they finally show up with a backhoe. Cleared the site but can't pull me out. Another hour later finally get a tractor bug enough to move me. Long night

 

I don't pull pigs anymore but I do miss it, sometimes...

 

This is all from my first company hauling pigs had a lot of repair problems with there equipment that just makes long days longer and longer and always half ### fixing stuff I had more brake chamber break off then you would believe I had the same one break off twice in 2 day cause they didn't tighten a bolt down but I learn allot of stuff so it wasn't all bad
Don't actually have a picture of the truck I had.
Almost forgot the picture of the trailer is when my airbag bracket broke and two of my tires blew pulling into the plant almost flip it cause of the incline the white line is my airbag dragging the ground

This was my last company ride I was at good people

 

I didn’t read all through the thread. How well does animal hauling pay?

Are you mainly o/o or do you work/lease for companies

 

Wait what.....some y’all get paid for all this fun

 

I apologize for being ignorant. I’m just curious.

 

Since I’m being stupid….. How heavy are your loads…… bovine? Porcine? I’m asking out of curiosity and to know what you are pulling.
