Check on them often?
by: Anonymous

Check on them often?come on man you tell me you really check on them often you check on that livestock you check on those cattle ?you check on those cows to make sure they're happy and in good shape and alive when they get to the place they're going to be slaughtered!

I'm sorry, my dad was a trucker although not at livestock trucker , but it was all about the time, it was all about delivering the load as quickly as you could and get back as quickly as you could.

Can you tell me what you do to make sure that the livestock is OK? Do you feed them? Do you water them? I'm seriously interested to know how you take care of the livestock so they're happy and content when they get to their death 😶

All I know is it takes all kinds for the world to go around. I've hauled cattle for about 20 years and it doesn't matter what you do there's always know it all know nothing people.

Evidently I've been loading wrong or some people have no clue what it takes to load a pot. It's kind of like if you do get to have a set down meal when you're at a truck stop you hear all sorts of b.s. stories about this and that.
