    My type of Bull hauling is like Montfort did it back in the bad old days Especially in the Late 70’s early 80’s. In a W-900 with an Aerodyne bunk and a big ole Kitty Kat.I have a great pic as my screensaver. They were still rocket ships but the beef is frozen,butchered and boxed. Owner was still paying speeding tickets. Not sure about reckless driving or worse. Things were changing. Roads were getting bad. I’d worry now about speeding tickets putting a crimp in my life style CDL and all.

    We used to push the shit down below then close the traps and put some water in the belly if it got super windy then open them up and help which ever state we were in . We were part of " American Fertilizers Organization" . If an HP seen us we just told them we have " diplomatic immunity"

    First thing before wanting to haul animals is are you comfortable around cows in tight areas because things can get spooky in a hurry if you dont know what to do.

    Hey big Jim, I’m sitting at the Love’s in Brush, CO and was just wondering. They’re are a few cattle trucks here at the truck stop and I can’t remember which video maybe this one where you’ve said knew guy I guess who got busted at these scales; anyways, I was guessing did you come to Cargill here from Nebraska and it might be a silly question but did you brings fats or was it railers? I was just curious. Where did they bounce you from afterwards. I know you’ve hung up the trucking thing, but I’ve been interested into getting into it ever since watching your videos. Have a Great day

    • @bigjimne
      @bigjimne  Рік тому

      Going that way I have went to both Cargill and five rivers in Kersey, with fats and feeders respectively. After unloading I would typically bounce to Nebraska to reload, but on occasion I would reload railers out of Kersey going to Texas.

I’ll reach out once again and give you an update if I have any more questions or if I get into it. Hopefully I will! Thanks for the response Big Jim. I really appreciate it!

    I was going to start hauling livestock until Will Craig & Danyl ripped me off. Lied to me and used me to only pick up a new truck for their just finished trainee. I was used to pick up a Kenworth run to NB, then to WY to do all this running around to make the truck legit.

      Simple answer is I knew the right people. I grew up in rural Nebraska and have worked with cattle and knew bull haulers. For me it was about who I knew and that's how I got my foot in the door. My drive and work ethic is what propelled me to where I'm at
