    How would someone get hired on at a farm or ranch hauling grain? Does it require a cdl because some places don't but idk the rules concerning that? Would the equipment be older? Would they have straight truck type trucks too? Does most pay in cash or on payroll? Any help would appreciated...

    I think that may vary some from state to state.
    I think in NM you had to have a restricted farm license or a class b or something, you couldn't to the best of my knowledge just have a regular operators license.
    As far as getting the job and how that pays, just ask the farmer, and pay varies widely from region to region, some big Kansas farms pays as good as some high end jobs with full benefits.
    There is a big magazine, but twice as big as a normal one. I want to say farm and ranch journal, but may be wrong, that has farm jobs always listed in it.

    All you do is post ideas and then ask if they can pay you in cash.

    Talking to a local farmer would be your best bet for most of your questions.

    I can tell you this though, hauling grain from the field to the local elevator won't pay you any more than if you were working at the local quicky mart unless you had some percentage claim to that particular crop you're hauling.

    I was using my truck, but I always made more hauling out of the field to the mill or elevator, than I did on the road after harvest.

    Cart before the horse, Why would someone trust a rid and a load possibly worth 200,000 plus to a person thats curious, get real. And I'll repeat your advise back to you, this forum is for driver, by drivers or those interested in becoming drivers. Most that post here offer advise in a genuine way thats not candy coated. So you want to see if you'll like driving, Answer, No you wont. If you think this is a walk in the park for a living, your in the wrong neighborhood.
