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

First off… I provide quality engineering services and quality cannot be rushed but in this case one of these request is a no brainer.

To help you with wet sanding, I suggest you go back to the fuel stop and get your favorite cashier to come over. Have her put on her bathing suit and she can hold a water hose and lightly spray the area as you work. And since you will spending more time watching her and flirting with her, your work will slow down and you won’t get tired as quickly. And I am assuming you will also be consuming some iced down beverages so that will also keep you cooled off until it doesn’t.

As for the paint both for @wore out you have to reference the first line of this post.
I am still working on a system of angled skate conveyor (borrowed from a food service freight hauler) to make moving Wore’s sleeper into place. I have not yet finished the design and he has already put the sleeper in place.

Now to quickly provide Wore with a cooler paint booth, not necessarily climate controlled, there are two or three options;
Move the paint operation to the big cave storage place all those door slammers go to or,
Locate a hillside close to Wore’s home 20 and have @Oxbow bring down a big loader and quickly carve out a cave (bracing, roofing, and ventilation still to be worked out) or,
Bring one of my old short term girlfriends over to Wore’s current shop, she was cold enough that the shop should cool off fairly quickly.

 

Ok.. that post right there is what got you nomination to be the CEO of this band of Misfits
2.nd that cashier ... probably won't look so good in bikini in board daylight .. that's a no go
3rd .. I vote for the man cave in the hillside.. I wanta be present though when @Oxbow starts digging .. cause I've always heard how good he operates with a Ho
I want see him play his A game .. so I can learn from him

 

I been seeing alot of hotshot trailer lately and was wondering is there any money in it or is it just people with there own livestock in it

 

There's no money in it in my area anymore .. every young buck with a new diesel pickup borrows his dad's trailer and hauls local for fuel money and a Pepsi.. I use to do it to help out my farm customers .. but I ain't wearing out my pickup and trailer for a 1.00 a loaded mile like these kids will do it..

 

@pete781693 ..how bout a progress report on the mancave in the hill ??

 

Thank for the info I got a 4700 set up for a gooseneck was thinking of buying a trailer and letting my dad do it when he free and feeling up to it

 

It's a good idea cause there's a demand for it and with a 4700 you can put a big enough trailer behind that to out perform Billy Hayseed with his chipped power joke and 24'' trailer that he can only get 8 1300lb pound cows and a pot bellied 8 mth old 300lb bottle calf in the Sale barns will keep a rig like that busy 2 or 3 days a week around here

 

Got a attest 4 barns with In an hour of me I might call them up and talk to them about it.
What size trailer do you suggest I look at.

 

Here what the truck look like it's a 99

 

If I was pulling farm to barn I would go with a 32' or 36' tri axle steel ranch trailer with a rag top and 3 compartments.. their reasonable priced well built and tough get the slatted floor and you don't have to work hard to to clean it out
