If we don’t do something now we all will be working For 99 cents per mile with people who either don’t care or understand One thing about you Or your living wage. Total domination is thier game more Money is all they want, you can thank the ELD THAT ALLOWS THEM TO COMPETE IN MARKETS WHERE THERE HAD NO FOOTING BEFORE. REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE

Yes I’m paying attention ! Why is it cattle is the cheapest thing I haul ! Yet I get the worse fuel mileage pulling my bull wagon and pay more for insurance to cover the livestock I also work harder because we all know when you load them up we can’t stop until we put them all safely on the ground !

They use to say the same thing about hauling general freight too ! Don’t be surprised if you see them in a few years the bigger they get the more they want and yes they haul for cheap ! I’ve had several people ask me to haul loads for $3.00 a mile and less ! Like I said earlier cattle is the cheapest thing I haul I do tank work dump and hopper work as well as cattle. I do agree we are a breed apart to haul cattle but I have people calling me all the time wanting me to let them haul cattle with my trailer if I’m too busy. They all want to try it but have never done it but they’re quick to say they have hauled livestock but it was with a pickup truck . Good Grief ! No comparison ! Nobody thought J B hunt would ever haul flatbed and never logs but guess what they are down here South Mississippi Louisiana and East Texas !! Werner has a chip hauling division AAA Cooper has a division in Baton Rouge pulling hopper bottoms hauling wood pellets So don’t think they won’t try !! 		REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE
