Cattle Haulers...

Agree with @ramblingman If you want to get started go talk to JBS. They run daycabs and a few sleepers out of Greeley. I'm not sure how it works but I've heard a few of them talk about guaranteed daily pay because they're on elogs. Get your experience and move on. It's just like any other segment, there's good and bad and you need to be in it to learn who to stay away from. The good ones are seldom looking for drivers and o/o's. The way the industry is right now even the bad ones have a waiting list of people wanting to work there.

Getting hooked up with a good company that can keep you going year round is a rare bird. I work for one guy most of the year and haul for another guy for 2 months when the swamp calves are moving out of FL. The key is to save your money when it's busy and just go home when it's slow.

 

Most of the bull hauler are owner op. I only no one otr company that hauls cattle for being a company driver. The company is called Hogan.

 

Call IBP, Swift, Nebraska Beef, etc.

 

That's not true at all. Plenty of companies around that have 5-10 trucks.

 

@TigerShark there is a jobs section on Livestock Network. Most of them probably want experience.
