    I wish I had though of pallets when I was younger. I went with household moving.

    There is a lot of manual labor in HHG’s I’m glad you had the extended cab. You can really save a lot buy carrying your day laborers with you.

    Once my pallet business failed I got into hauling livestock for a while. I didn’t have one of those big setups so I specialized in loading out of hobby farms. I picked these two up out of a petting zoo in Poughkeepsie and hauled them out to a commune in NorCal. Nothing like an all night flight with cow lights.

    Livestock haulers are a special breed , my hats off to you.
    The closest I ever got to hauling livestock was when I hauled poultry in order to save up for a truck to start my moving company.

    I really like to see a man do whatever it takes to realize his dreams. It’s what this country is built on.

    I did try hauling cattle one time and one time only. After the experience I realized I wasn't cut out to be a bull hauler.

    First off, I like your avatar. I also was a big fan of the 9670. This is rare footage of X1 wheelieing his truck once the road opened up. He would throttle up to 2800, put it in 13th and dump the clutch. Bottom of picture.

    I never ran a 315 cat but a 315 cummins would tote the mail. I'd get to the steel mill, change the button on the fuel pump and load the wagon.
    Never dropped a gear going across Vail loaded down.

    I love anything to do with livestock. I even haul hay for the local ranches.

    One time a local ranch bought a bunch of sweet feed at an estate sale. That was a big load, but I got it done. I’m a man of my word and if I make a promise you can take it to the bank.
