    What type of feed would you be hauling? I currently haul feed for chickens, hogs, and turkeys. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I’ll answer the best I can.

    I'm not 100% sure I was nervous talking to the lady at the office but I think she said hogs and probably cattle

    I haven’t done cattle/dairy but hogs aren’t bad. In a nutshell you load a trailer, drive to the farm and unload the feed in the proper bin then return. Hardest part for me is Amish farms where it’s sometimes very tight getting a semi in there. I’ll go into more detail when I get a chance to get on my computer. If you have any other questions in the mean time feel free to ask away or email/PM me if you want.
     
    REO6205 and Coffey Thank this.

    I used to haul ground alfalfa and other feed commodities to dairies and feedlots.
    I pulled a 53 foot live bottom and mostly it was a piece of cake, except for some of the little bitty dairies, getting that trailer in their barn was sometimes a chore.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    I think 27% for feed I don't know yet about hogs or gain might be the same
