    I never got to meet a legal running cattle hauler. They are always in a hurry.

    They’re going to run out of reasons. At first it was because the infrastructure wasn’t there to rest cattle on the long runs. Now that it’s been almost a year they don’t even talk about that anymore, they’re going for separate rules for livestock that make a legal 1400 mile trip possible. Definitely be interesting to see how it plays out. I’m glad I don’t like to work that hard anymore. Lol.

    I did it until I didn’t have to. Paid off debt from my divorce, paid off other stuff, then I sold my truck, put the money in the bank, and went back to the job I had before I bought a truck.

    Well when everyone becomes a vegetarian then we won't be worried about the bull haulers cause there won't be any bulls to haul but there will be plenty of BS to move and any one can do that but not everyone can haul livestock.

    In my area you almost have to know "know someone" to get on running cattle.

    When I started my "neighbors" were angus ranches and they approached me. The rest was history. Like I said not everyone is cut out for it. I loved it.

    With the current 150 mile ag exemption, we can now already do 900 mile runs legal. There's no way I'd ever schedule a run that long anyway, unless there's huge problem somewhere. Plus, ELD or paper, with all the cameras in the PNW, there's so little room to shuffle, it makes little difference.
