    When you cross scales, jab the brakes a couple times before pulling on the scales. This way the chickens will be flapping around in the air and the truck will weigh less.

    JBS hauls beef, pork,and lamb and is a major shareholder of Pilgrim's Pride poultry processing.

    Yep, they haul cows, pigs, and sheep, plus some fresh or frozen chickens.

    I wouldn't necessarily call him the holy grail but @Chinatown is certainly the guru when it comes to helping folks find jobs.

    Hauling cattle for JBS would be home daily. You’d be hauling fats out of the feedlot going to one of their harvesting facilities. Probably be hauling 2-3 loads a day into the plant depending on length of haul.

    I think they have a daily minimum pay for the cattle trucks since they went to ELD’s. Personally I wouldn’t want to haul fat cattle all day, every day. I did my share of that but I had plenty of loads of feeder calves in between to break things up. If you want to be home daily and live close to a town they have a plant in then the livestock side probably wouldn’t be a bad choice. Just depends on what you want to do.

    Yes, I'm a moderator on this forum and @Chinatown is a good guy. I don't even know how he comes up with the companies he comes up with, but I'm glad he's on here offering his knowledge.

    Regarding your last question, all of the moderators try to keep our opinions about companies (whether good or bad) to ourselves. We have to be unbiased about companies, so we can moderate fairly. I hope you can understand that.

    If you get involved in conversations other than about companies, you will find there are a few of us who like to chat and maybe get a little goofy. @G13Tomcat can testify to some of our shenanigans. He's not a staff member, but he's been part of some conversations. LOL

    Personally, I try to help all I can and I enjoy it, but I leave the recommendations to the regular TTR members.
