BulkLoads Has Acquired Livestock Network

Today is a historic day for the BulkLoads Family of Companies.

We're excited to announce that we've officially completed the acquisition of Livestock Network, the largest load board in the livestock industry.

Much like BulkLoads, Livestock Network has built a trusted community of cattle shippers, dispatchers, brokers, and haulers. Both companies were built around relationships, and that's what makes this acquisition so exciting.

Bulk and livestock have always been deeply connected. By bringing these communities together, we're creating a stronger network for carriers, shippers, brokers, and everyone who depends on them.

This is another step toward our vision of building the most connected transportation ecosystem in the industry.

A huge thank you to the Livestock Network team, our team, and everyone who has supported both communities over the years.

Larry Hurt
CEO, BulkLoads Family of Companies

Yes sir! That's exaclty the direction we're taking it. One sign on with access to both loadboards. We'll also be revamping the Livestock network platform with a fresh look, new tools and a better user experience, including a mobile app.
