From Bullhauler to Bulkhauler

All,

I am sorta new to this load board. I used Bulkloads briefly years ago when I farmed more acres. When I downsized my farm I sold my hopper trailer and bought a POT to haul hogs to a new local processing facility. After a couple years of dedicated hog hauling the operation I hauled for wanted more trucks. I had no desire for more trucks and drivers. So I hit the road and run cattle throughout some of the western states. My weekly run always had dedicated dairy cattle coming back to Michigan from west Kansas. It was fun for a time, but finding steady work headed west from Michigan proved difficult, dead miles at $5+ fuel was starting to hurt, and living on caffeine for 20+ hours to stay awake was slowly killing me. I needed a change

So far the reception from the Bulkloads team has been warm. I am in the process of getting a wet kit added to my truck and buying a belt trailer. I have read many posts to this forum and found it very informative. I look forward to a new challenge and chapter in my trucking career... Rates are different i.e by the ton instead of by the mile, route planning will be different using an ELD compared to being an outlaw, and fuel surcharge compared to pro-rate. Regardless, I am looking forward to it.
