DOT says fish is livestock, so I can join, right?
my boots are waders, and unloading is a matter of pulling the cam gate and letting the water / fish out. Which can be refreshing, especially at -30 in Calgary.
Loading can be routine, like pulling alongside a raceway, and pulling under the dewaterer and turning the fish pump on.......to driving onto the ice and across the lake in North Dakota to where they have the Buffalo fish corralled under the ice.
same with unloading. Sometimes just run to the trout plant and dump them in the holding tank. Sometimes take a small trailer to China Town and watch them carry them into the building one basket at a time. Not a boring job, that’s for sure.

Hauled live turkeys for a few months. Learned to always wear a hat with the bill pointing forwards. And never have your mouth open when your looking up. Saw someone do that. Hehehe

Do you enjoy the feeling of warm pee hitting your neck, running down your back, through the crack of you butt down your leg and into your sock? Then not being able to shower for a day or two? Then pig hauling might be for you!
