Subject | cabover trucks truck and trailer |
Comment | I have cabover truck and trailers combos cattle trucks the lenght for a combination of this sort is 65 feet the trucks have a 28'box and they pull a 28' trailer thes combinations where the standard truck to haul livestock because of the nather of roads And terane they had to navagate there are still a lot of cattle ranches & Sheep ranches that require this type of truck to get there livestock to market and seasonal grassing alotments We transport our cattle from mountain pastures spring to the organ borderFall pastures 450 moma cows & calves that equates to someware around 30,000 per year .now the problem the truck companeys that are left dont have many of thes units left so there is already a shortage of them every spring and fall. with the new law on diesel trucks thes will not be leagal soon. The truck manufactures no longer make cabover trucks and if they did no one could aford to have them setting around 75% of the time. so how are we supost to ship our cattle from pasture to pasture or to market the other option is i understand the older trucks are ok to run 15,000 miles a year so shood I buy 4 more and put cowboys driving them to move our catte ! I realy think that would put people at risk of injury the roads thes trucks drive are narrow windy mountain roads with grades 20% |
