As an enthusiastic consumer of meat and things cooked on my dad’s grill, it’s important to me that I know how the meat that I eat is made. Temple Grandin has some good videos about this topic, but you talked about the pig board. In one of her videos about pigs, Grandin mentioned that pig boards work because pigs respect a solid barrier. Thought that was interesting to see it in action like this. Your intentions was no to necessarily hurt them, but they needed to move anyway. I can respect that. Cool vid.
Finally moving pigs! Great work bud I have had my share of loading pigs they are definitely their own animal. Boards ARE ESSENTIAL or you’ll never get them moved! Really like your disclaimer in the beginning hopefully people ain’t too hard on you with this one lol. Catch you on the flip side and always looking forward to seeing more content! 👍
I gotta say Vaughn you definetly got the patience, I've worked on a pig farm when I was younger and they will wear you out, that's one reason I always stuck to cattle. You done an excellent job I always hated using the hotshot on cows unless it's absolutely necessary. Good Job.👍🇺🇸
I'm glad that you explained in the beginning of the video that pigs are just vocal animals. I have been around pigs enough to know that they are stuborn and just make noise when you breath on them the wrong way. Too many people believe they are being abused because they scream like that when in reality it's the opposite. You are helping the AG industry with your education. Keep up the great work.
Wow seeing this for the first time, several things become obvious. As you stated, your as kind and gentle as possible with these pigs, it's alot of hard work to unload (and presumably load) these pigs, and also it's got to be a wonderful odor in there to work in - so refreshing to see in today's work economy where few take care and pride in what they do. Thanks for all you do for the rest of us in your job. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸
My husband hauled a few loads of pigs from Florida to north Georgia. When he left Fl. it was warm but in Ga. it was cold, and the pigs had to almost be pushed out of the truck into the cold air.
this has been the best video i have seen of unloading pigs not stressing them when unloading, yes pigs are stubborn and you do get some that will make the unloading or loading always a challenge, im not sure how many you had on board but some looked as though they were fat pigs ready for slaughter and others were weaners and some growers theres i expectthis place was an auction,here in the uk most pigs are straight too slaughter our pork pigs will weigh between 70 and 75 kgs and bacon between 80 and 85kgs
Man I enjoyed this, brought back so many memories when I was younger. I was wondering when you would resort to saying "hey" then you did lol, then when you were crawling in the belly you had to resort to old faithful again. It really does seem to be a universal language for moving pigs. Is it easier with the gas can rattle or the red rattle on a stick?
Not done your line of work but that was punishment working in the heat and closed in as-well as crouched down conditions' the pig's were reluctant to get off probably knowing what the deal was thank you for posting.
Love the videos. I apologize if someone has already asked this question but how did you get into livestock hauling. I live in Ohio on a grain and livestock farm and have often thought about livestock hauling? Just not sure how to get started.
@@VaughnDallasVance I was wondering with government against truckers and diesel engines California is trying to eliminate this altogether, I tried to buy a Isuzu cab over w/ dual fuel tanks, was told can't be ordered, same with a F750, hay good luck to you!
Appreciate you sharing. I know that can be frustrating and hot at the same time. Not a good combo but you kept your cool. Do you book your own loads or do you have a company that does that for you? Thanks again for sharing. Drive safe.
I understand why you give the warning but I’m not sure you could have been nicer. I even thought I saw you give one a kiss goodbye. Those pig where raised well which helped a lot.
C bar H (crazy house) in garden city, KS. I prefer yellow because cows are lacking the red color receptors in their eyes. Red is more like a brown to bovine animals. Blue and green paddles are good too. But the contrast of yellow, especially at night in my experience makes it easier to work cows in the trailer.
Good Lord, what a work out. I hope that there is a cool breeze outside just so you can cool down for a minute or two. Your years of experience are reflected in the design of your trailer. This is the first time I have seen the upper upper deck where you literally have to access crouching all the way. I can only imagine what it took to load this area. BTW, where does your responsibility start and stop when loading and unloading the livestock. You had a few pigs that seemingly returned to the trailer after they left? How long did it take to remove everyone? This was not your normal offload. How long did it take to design and build your trailer. Everything is so meticulous and functional. Everything has a purpose in conjunction with the rest of the trailers function. After this workout it's time for at least a 45-60 minute shower. Just when we thought things couldn't get any better, the Red & Blue flashing lights was the cherry on top of an enjoyable video. Thanks again for your efforts to provide an informative and enjoyable video.
How many pigs can you get on that trailer, dam. I'm used to cows. Getting 34 of them off I thought was work. I you use a lot of wood shavings, that helps.

Thank you
I have a new respect for pig haulers. My husband drove truck most of his working career, but not pigs. That looks like real hard work.
Thanks for posting. That looks like a lot of work.

haha you need to send the clip of swifty getting a little karma to bonehead truckers
wow. They are really difficult to deal with but you did a great job staying calm and composed، great video 👍
Driver u sure do get asked sum reall unique questions lol i get a good laugh reading sum of them

you did one hell of a job but like cows i just love livestock trailer
ha ha a humble man with high blood pressure
Judging by this, it looks like herding cats would be easier. 😂😂 I did not realize that pigs were this horribly stubborn.
Suddenly hungry for 🥓!
Yup it looks like a trailer full of fun. The swift driver at the end was great!

Thank you for your comment
Going in there is up close and personal good video talking 7 hr break watching you work
Great video. Love to see the parts of our different jobs driving a truck
I can't believe people want to come over that quick with all that open road ahead

Эти клиенты самые беспокойные 😂
Yeah they couldn’t pay any amount of money to deal with pigs. That back bending looks like it will catch up to you when you get older
Now that was a lot of hard work and yes.. pigs are stubborn and pretty much squeal at nothing!!! Great video!! You definitely get ur excerise! 😅👍🇨🇦
Not done your line of work but that was punishment working in the heat and closed in as-well as crouched down conditions' the pig's were reluctant to get off probably knowing what the deal was thank you for posting.
Good video. I didn't know that pigs were that stubborn. I got tired just watching you offload them.
Very interesting. Is it true that pigs have poor eyesight? Might be why hesitation on ramps.
Good job, you sure are patient.
I really felt that "come on pig" at 07:02.
Yeah they’re tough
I always wondered what those boards were for that kept falling due to the cows 28:07
Love the videos. I apologize if someone has already asked this question but how did you get into livestock hauling. I live in Ohio on a grain and livestock farm and have often thought about livestock hauling? Just not sure how to get started.
I have a email on the channel homepage. Email me if you like and I can point you in the right direction
Is there a difference in pay rate for pigs? More I’m assuming? Good job man.
Sometimes it’s more. Usually balances out over time
Appreciate. I have a one question. Is it considered appropriate to use the engine brake when transporting pigs in a trailer?
You can use the engine brake
I was raised around beef cattle, hogs, and other types of animals and I have also pigs , cattle etc...
They need to redesign the trailers. Your back shouldn't bend like that. They need Hydraulic gates pushing them out.
Dallas that looks like quite the workout. Good job brother awesome awesome video.👍👍👍
Thank you
@@VaughnDallasVance you’re welcome Dallas
Great intro!!!!
Very nice video Thank you 😊😊😊😊
Great job even better work out
CRAVING BLT. LOLOL
Nice work!
What was the avg wt and how much did you gross weight loaded with 3 decks of pigs..?
260 lbs on the big ones, 100 lbs on the small ones. Came to about 48,000
Funny moment at 15:58 hahahahaha, I can see your smile bro 😎
What is the moving capacity of your trailer for pigs, and is it worth it to move these animals
I can move about 48000 pounds safely. Sometimes its worth it

I have a broker/company that organizes loads
Great video

Excellent content, Driver!!
Big animals are big babys 😽, how much does this carier make.?
2 questions
#1 Where at in Kansas
#2 what's so special about yellow vs red?
C bar H (crazy house) in garden city, KS.
I prefer yellow because cows are lacking the red color receptors in their eyes. Red is more like a brown to bovine animals. Blue and green paddles are good too. But the contrast of yellow, especially at night in my experience makes it easier to work cows in the trailer.
Gotcha, im from that area of the state. Enjoy your videos. We're the lower deck pigs smaller in weight?
Yes they were 100lbs. The big ones were 260

I am new so curious how you feel about between pigs and cattles? I can see how hard you have been workin?
How many pigs can you get on that trailer, dam. I'm used to cows. Getting 34 of them off I thought was work. I you use a lot of wood shavings, that helps.
200 big ones at like 250lb or almost 430 little ones at 100lbs
Been there done that lol don't like hauling squillers
You are a heroe!! 🍻
Holy crap! NOOOOOOOOO thanks lol. Dang that took a lot
First
I really want a couple Mc rib sandwiches now
Wait bottom deck were smaller pigs? I’m confused
Yes. I had big ones and small ones in the belly
@@VaughnDallasVance are those headed for packing plant
Yes
You ever haul any buffalo or bison?
Was the swift drunk
I am craving bacon so bad after watching this
How about cleaning the float
…… your very clueless if you think he doesn’t clean it
Where are the pig boards stored
There’s a rail on the roof in the belly of the trailer they sit in
My uncle got bit by a pig. His hand got infected. He almost lost his hand. Nasty nasty stuff.
i hope you’re making real good money doing this work. working with pigs and cows and ankle deep in crap .
Very interesting. Can I use one of those boards to move my wife?
pigs are funny , sometimes.
Easy money
🐷👍
Pig's have a lot in common with people !
I do know someone who will lie in........mud? 🤷♂️
@@23Skadoosh Oink ! 🐷
