    When I type in "@Chinatown" on Google, Chinatown Market keeps popping up. Is there a better google address, please?

    So you don't think he should've stopped to check his load? If there was a developing problem (such as excessive heat, dehydration, etc...), he'd want to know in order to rectify it ASAP. You can't just hammer down and hope everything will be OK with the critters.

    The thing I’ve learned about this forum is that the ones who’ve never hauled a load of livestock in their life sure like to talk about how the ones that are doing it are doing it wrong. Personally, I get a kick out of how dumb they make themselves look.

    Checking on livestock is part of the job. Because dead stock is worthless.
    @Chinatown can help.
    If husband has been trucking for 23 years he should know how to work as a 1099 private contractor. That may be the only way to continue right now.
    You did not say if husband was local or OTR driver type.

    Right just like when you do a “load check” flatbedding so you can let the dog out to take a dump on the grass. A trucker ain’t no veterinarian. Like I’m supposed to believe his ten minutes of petting zoo time is enough to diagnose swine flu, make a call to the cdc and save the world. Rofl.

    Caring for the animals. The guy was just having a gay old time petting the piglets. You weren’t there. I can’t blame him. That’s what you could call a job perk. Don’t play the violin about the animals’ welfare when these clowns tailgate each other going 85 like the other poster mentioned. I’m sure the owner of those animals would really appreciate that. Now when one wrecks the animals from both trailers will be dead, but we still give ourselves a pat on the back for stopping to check on the animals’ health (aka petting zoo time).

    The fact of the matter is these clowns endanger the animals, themselves, and everyone they share the road with.
