These cowboys worked hard for the rates they get, you think guys on here are pissed off at brokers. Cowboys are 100 times worse! Good luck getting anyone to talk to you, but if you have loads that pay round trip rate, somewhere over $4 a mile put them on livestock loads. You will get them moved! Keep in mind a new cattle pot runs around $100,000 plus a new Peterbilt is $165,000. The good ones don't haul for peanuts, plus they have there customers that require a certain level of service! There are several different trailers depending on the livestock. I'm not going to explain them! Happy Trails

What you need to know about bidding out stock. Loads are figured on 50,000 (at least they were a couple years back) plus prorate. So for every CWT (100 WT.) Over 50k there is an extra charge. Going rate for a cow truck to even put the truck in the wind is $4.00/mile BEFORE prorate. It pays a bounce rate period there are no "backhauls" now then that being said that rate is in cow country. If you send a truck down to Florida and the hot shot shoots his mouth off about coming out of Florida for $4.00/mile there's going to be a truck missing a driver and a driver who will never be found (the gators will eat well that day/night). I never hauled hogs I can't speak for them. Last I knew they wanted a TQA cert. Etc and I've been around hogs long enough to know better than to haul them. If you really want to learn it fill out an app for bullseye dispatch they're some of the biggest rate cutting fools out there I can name a lot more but I suppose I'll play nice. You'll have a lot more competition than you think. Maverick, Hauxwell, and H.A.R. (Allen Anderson) are all well established all have buyers they work with already and you need a buyer long before you need to be searching for a truck. Oh BTW get ready to have every bit of your ass chewed off when the driver loses one of the buyers cows...And don't forget in livestock they have the right to demand payment when when they bump the chute and kick them off...Btw that payment is in full none of this 5% quick pay bull...No pun intended.

If it is I wish all the hauling was this way, it would dang sure weed many of us out and some of us might make some money. Good day!!
