Do you have any experience handling cattle, if not, I would suggest you get that first . It is very dangerous inside those trailers. Trust me I grew up around cattle and pulled a bull wagon for 4 years out of Florida. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
streetglider Thanks this. -
Yes that is a different style of driving, you always have to watch the way you brake and shift and turn. you wont last long throwin those girls all over the back of the trailer. little rest until you are unloaded and you are responsible for any cow that dies. Fun job but also lot of responsibility and if you don't know what your doing those cows will get you between the gates and squish your but lol. one thing for sure your backing skills will improve because once you learn to hit those chutes at night in the rain without leaving a gap for a leg to fall in you have done well. ps always keep your boots and coveralls outta the cab.

Does the cattle stay in the trailer when the driver is on his 10?

Yeah, 'cause it only takes about five minutes to do a ten. LOL
CanePole, HotH2o and fortycalglock Thank this. -
You gotta be a little bit "special' to pull a bull wagon. Those drivers are something else.
