    Hey TruckDuo, how are you guys enjoying your dedicated runs? I forgot how long you have been on it... but not 3 months yet, right? What are the "goods" and "bads" compared to what you were doing before? Just curious...:biggrin_25519:

    Got the call my truck is ready...my repairs cost me about what I expected but was still hoping it would be a little less...lol. But its ok, it was in the budget and I picked up a couple loads that will still help me turn a small profit this week. Leaving in the AM for Buffalo then turning around back to Philly...short runs...good pay...just how I like it.

    I've never hauled pigs, but....


    Why aren't you counting them before they go on ??

    I have no idea how many go in the nose of a pot..

    Tell the #### farmer send me XXX pigs first, then don't send anymore until I tell ya too..Secure the nose, then send however many go on top...Do you split the top with a gate or not ??

    Its your load and your responsibility, load at your own pace NOT the farmers..


    Again, I know zero about pigs other having picked up a few in bars over the years.. :confused1:


    maybe a pig hauler can offer some better advise..
     
    tangerineGT Thanks this.

    81-86-390 isn't bad running and its free..

    Buffalo use to have a fuel stop off Walden Ave I think it was ??

    Place wasn't real impressive but it was a place to park.
