Im a new driver so i wanted to see what you guys think? is that a good company to start out in and make good money? thanks

    No, they pull out what the Bull haulers pull in
    Cows go in, processed meat comes out

    I call livestock trailers that but Back to the op its it's always nice having a guarantee pay just gotta find out how you are qualified to get it ( like being available 7 days a week or something like that). Othere then that I don't know much about that company.
    Will you be driving a reefer or livestock trailer

    Doesn't sound to bad but you might have problems if you pick up at slaughterhouses if you got a weak stomach I want to my first one the other day and they was throwing dead pig on the side of the building

    lol you probably felt like you were in a horror movie. yeah,it seems like its a good job( pay wise). i just gotta ask them more questions to make sure. plus if im driving livestock and somehow the back gate unlocks, i then gotta go around chasing all cows back into the trailer lol
     
    Coffey Thanks this.
