I really enjoyed the video. I loved listening to the turbo on that long wide nose 379. Did that for 35 + years. I haven’t fully retired. Still doin some drivin. You never get it out of your blood. Nice rig. Thanks. Have a good one. 👍👍👍❤️By the way I’m subscribing.
I dont know about their or your trailer but back when I hauled cows our trailer had small plastic plates that locked into the holes in the trailer to stop the wind from getting to the calfs or cows so thay dont get sick. They just pop in the holes and when their not needed just pop them out and store for the next time you need them.
Don’t think any of the stickers are actually on the windshield. They look like they’re on the inside of the sunvisor so no way that they are obstructing any view...
i repaired wrecked trailers for years. by far the worst wrecks were loaded cattle trailers. you might work on one for 6 weeks.the gates and the trap doors took as long to fix as the bodywork.we had them steamed cleaned before they came into the shop.
I live in Oregon in a small town. When I get home I drop off my trailer in a yard where they process grain. I got permission from them. I bobtail home about a half mile. The cops like to harass me about not having a rear plate on my truck and threatened to have my truck impounded for no rear plate. I've told them on the many times they pulled me over for this that the motor carrier doesn't issues rear plates for class 8 vehicles. I get the stink eye from them and they tell me to go to DMV and get it straightened out or there going to impound my truck. I told them I don't deal with DMV over this issue. Well that pisst off the cop and he called this towing company and I know who he called and I called them my self and told them what was happening. The towing Co. said if they tell us to tow a vehicle we do it. I told them it's going to look funny when you pull up to tow me and you don't have a rear plate on your truck and I'll point it out to the cop. I never got towed. 😀
A lot of officers in small towns especially like to make life hard on truckers. I support cops and I support truckers some of these drivers don't get any respect
Where's "home base"? My sister lives in Mountain Lk, Mn. My niece 'n her husband farm 'n run a large hog operation near Jackson, Mn. I was born 'n raised on a family farm near Madison, SD. Then worked on large farm 'n cattle operation near Wentworth, SD.I pulled with '72 KW 900, 425 Cat - cattle pot, lowboy with machinery, flatbed with seed corn, dry fert, 'n chemical, tanker with liquid ammonia fert. I ride Harley to Sioux Falls many times from Twin Cities, down 60 to Windom. Coffee 'n gas stop @ the Holiday across from where you loaded, then jump om 90. Nice rig Milk Man. 👌 Keep the shiney side up 'n tween the stripes. Gumby
Oh ok now in the dark I see the stickers are on the back side of the Sunvisor, kool, nice if you keep doing vlogs you will need to get more smooth with the camera, you did pretty good, look forward to Moore video’s, thanks BigAl California.
In 1978 I pulled into a coop in the middle of nowhere Wyoming with a 1976 Wyoming base plate when it should have been a current Minnesota plate. The 4 weight station attendants gang-raped my wallet over and over again.
Long time ago middle 70s when riding with my. Dad a trucker and mist of them were skinny back then not like these short wearing croc wearing wheel holders he told me not to eat big meals in the rd. Puts you to sleep. He had a sammich and a small salad. Full belly makes ya sleepy
Those hogs squealing remind me of a horror movie, haha, creepy shit man! I somewhat feel for the pigs, it was hard to watch, no, I'm not a Hippie tree hugger, although I do like my pork chops!!
Thanks Dylan! I was in your same situation. It was a massive struggle and honestly I’ve found it’s more that insurance won’t insure you than the companies not wanting to hire. You have any CDL experience?
The Milk Man yeah I have a year and half of “legal” exp mostly been pullin smooth bore tanks. I hauled livestock for bout a month but let it go cause it wasn’t payin me right. Now I miss the bullshit paychecks 😂
The Milk Man? Did you haul milk before livestock? I haul raw milk. Thinking heavily about hauling livestock. Great video. I subscribed. Have a good one.
Thanks again John! To answer your question earlier about getting started as an owner op. I am still the definition of a rookie to this industry, but from what I’m gathering so far, no one really leases you on. You have to have your own authority and then you rent their trailer. Which is what I’m doing. And along with renting their trailer you also get dispatched by them. There are some bigger companies out here that maybe you could look into. Like livestock express or Cow Tran. I don’t know anything about them, so I can’t say what it’s like working for them. Hopefully that helps?
What's the pros and cons in getting into livestock hauling? I always wanted to try it but want to learn every aspect of it as much as possible because I know it's really hard. Right now I'm doing reefer and the occasional flatbed with my 95 Freightliner.
Pros it pays well if you do you job right everyone will know about you you also are exempt from eld rule cons you have a short time window to get to where you’re going so you’re not doing the speed limit plus if you mess up you’re finished
great job on the videos!! we need get the bull haulers diet rolling, need everyones input,,im screwed if I drink water,,piss all the time, I eat lots of fruit and decaf coffee
I really appreciate it Zane! Yes, I have totally changed my diet. I strictly eat salads, drink water, and eat fruit. I have not eaten any fast food for a month now. I feel so much more energy, and far less annoyed. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@TheMilkMans sorry so late friend, been getting my Pete ready for hauling cows on Tuesday,, take care of yourself!! im pulling for miller time, long hood blue Pete with home made herd bumper, take care keep sending vids friend!!
That’s a big 10-4. We are definitely running that trucker path cmon. I was going around the scale. Google told me to go that way 😉 Thanks for watching man!
I used to haul flatbed and reefer. Yes, the lack of sleep is absolutely one of the biggest struggles of doing this. One thing about me, is that I will stop and take nap before I let myself get to tired and end up killing myself and possibly someone else. :) I respect all drivers and what they decide to pull The dead head miles can be insane! You really have to pay attention to your numbers to make sure that you arent screwing yourself. Thank you for watching Neil!
Hello sir sorry to bother you guys I’m not trying to sound weird but are used to go up and visit my aunt on the farm every year when I was younger and it was some of my best memories and finest moment was working with the cat all the chickens ducks and pig and it just brings back a lot of good memories but I’m disabled now I’m only 42 I’ve had a total of 27 surgeries I believe within a 10 year span I had two brain surgeries at the start in 2008 and that took care of my epilepsy. So I said that to say this I’m just working so much and I miss working on the farms and things and I’m so proud of you guys and I And I love y’all and you guys bring good memories back but could you please do a video of doing the whole trailer I know they’ll take a while but it be cool I know I would enjoy it and then also I was wondering is there something I could send you guys did you guys could take on a run or two and then send it back to me? Sorry for the bother guys I don’t mean to talk so much God bless
You’re definitely right! Got a couple that I’m going to try and get edited today. At least one of them lol I need to get someone that will edit my videos haha
@@TheMilkMans yhea it's a hell of a life just dont know when or where u goin u do have a pretty truck you said on 1 of your video's u loaded in Virginia may I ask wher??
@@TheMilkMans you was getn close to wher I am from I work at tri state livestock market in Abingdon Virginia I gota be thar n the morning at 4am . when I drove I run a 2001 pete 379 extended hood she was black 18spd 500hp Detroit and pulled a merit cattel drive I got a ticket in Knoxville Tennessee 118 in a 65 wat hp motor and all u got??
Since livestock guys don’t have to run a log book PERIOD. We can thank the FMSCA covid exemption for that. We could literally legally drive 23 hours straight and not get in trouble.
Lol maaaan All u had to do was take that oil field tag off ya window and put it on ya grill! It’s not like they can actually read the tag from a distance while u moving so atleast it would look like a tag and that area wouldn’t look so bare! Then if they do stop u they can’t say that u were using it for a fake tag bcuz u had it on the grill not the tag area lol!
Hahaha yeah it gets pretty annoying. Plan on changing it out when I get some extra money. Its not to bad with my seat sitting really low. I can see quite a bit Really appreciate you watching!
Hey Milkman I have a question that's been bugging me ever since I've been watching cattle Turkey up and down the road Now when you started this morning you said you had about a 15 plus hour ride maybe do you drive that whole shift the whole way without stopping or do you like me take a 10-hour break or something like that just wondering I'm just a question I've had I know it sounds kind of stupid but I'm going to ask it anyway so I appreciate it and I just subscribed so at least you got one more what's that make too now to subscribers anyway thank you and hope to hear from you bye
I see your "good" with the animals! Glad your not "thatguy" who whips the animals onto the truck!. And if you are please don't show it. Thanks for the entertainment.

Need to get all of the stickers off the windshield, that will be a ticket 🎫 at some point, nice job ,thanks BigAl California.
First off the stickers are not obstructing his view and second how would that affect what is legal?
Don’t think any of the stickers are actually on the windshield. They look like they’re on the inside of the sunvisor so no way that they are obstructing any view...
Some good bacon and sausage and pork chops walking onto that trailer
Be careful if your tired.. Good to hear your going to rest. 👏👏🐷🐷🐽🐽🐖🐖🐄🐄
My Dad used to haul livestock from , Texas and other western states back to Tennessee . New York and Chicago back in the day.
You never move cows from west to east or north tho south unless it's to a kill plant.
@@revolutionismyname8226 that was what he was doing . Taking them to meat packing plants.

I can’t even imagine. How does it even cost to get one fixed back up that’s in that kind of shape?
Gotta love that drop visor driving into the sun
It has for real saved my eyeballs

In 1978 I pulled into a coop in the middle of nowhere Wyoming with a 1976 Wyoming base plate when it should have been a current Minnesota plate. The 4 weight station attendants gang-raped my wallet over and over again.
Years ago the dispatch would give you a bottle of pills with your bill of lading when hauling pigs. Anphetimine's
That Pete would look good with a fresh white paint job.
hey I'm new to your channel but may god continue to bless you on the road I love your video great job love everything be safe out there be bless...
Long time ago middle 70s when riding with my. Dad a trucker and mist of them were skinny back then not like these short wearing croc wearing wheel holders he told me not to eat big meals in the rd. Puts you to sleep. He had a sammich and a small salad. Full belly makes ya sleepy

Livestock haulers have special exemptions.
Thanks for watching brother! We get the animals there without stopping for the most part ;)
Indians will let u get away with 72-73mph and maybe even 75mph! I personally myself don’t that they really enforce that truck speed!
wher you at driver
That was in Iowa right off of 380
Gotta add more lights n put some red lights down bye ur feet on the floor
Oh I can smell it from here lol. One small suggestion, don't pace around so much when you're talking, starts to get a bit of motion sickness going
I missed the part where you were pulled by a dot officer.
With all the nonstop running I’m guessing the money should be good I would 🤔
It was not as good as a person would think lol. At least that was my experience
I see your "good" with the animals! Glad your not "thatguy" who whips the animals onto the truck!. And if you are please don't show it. Thanks for the entertainment.
Absolutely! I respect them. No need to be abusive to animals.
Thanks for watching my friend! Really appreciate it!
Here in Wisconsin you can’t have them cattle shockers around the sale barns
Hauled hogs for 3 years.......fuck those lil stubborn bastards
That’s BS!!

hey bull hailer why are your on loading ,been in this for 5i yrs never had to load my stock always stayed in trailer and close gates make sure is was loaded right this not right but i have to say its we do not haul pigs never ever
you must not care to have plates
Why didn't you record the interaction with officer?? Always record the police. It just might help you in case he lies about something.
