Livestock haulers

PHP:

The lift axle is for US running trucks, unless I'm mistaken. I think it gives them the cushion in case the cattle shift forward so they don't get an overweight ticket. You're only allowed 15,400 kg on tandems south of the border.

Can't tell you about jobs as I run reefer and never carried livestock.

You could check out Favel Transport. They are a livestock hauler, but they may know who can help you with what you want. www.favel.ca

 

A lot of roads that are state owned have ridiculous weight limits, takes 3 axles to scale a legal load so to speak. That's mostly in the Dakota's or around that area. I've slowed way down, I just run for 1 buyer usually from sale to pound gain farm or feedlot. Got some other stuff goin on around home can't run like I used to.

 

Sorry guys missed the whole canadian thing mistook Alberta for Atlanta been one them days.

 

Lift axles on Tractors in Western Canada are illegal.

 

look up Roberge Transport if you want to haul critters.

 

I'm sure you can have them, just can't have them on the ground up here, isn't it? I've seen the B&D Walter trucks with them up here.

My last company had them on a few trucks that did some cattle hauling.

 

If yer gonna ckeck with Favel, just dont sign on there, I have heard some pretty shady things about that crew...

 

...if they are on the ground while moving. Takes all the mass confusion outa things PB...haha

 

Back in the 80's they were legal but no more
