My whole life I have always enjoyed the outdoors and all that it has to offer! So follow along as I haul cattle through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico and wherever I may be sent along with many other adventures with family and friends such as fishing, hunting, wakeboarding and lake activities, ATV riding, and anything we may be interested in and an upcoming trip to Alaska this summer! So come along for the ride and I hope you enjoy it with me!
Aye man enjoyed every second of yr video. Definitely earned my follow from here on out. Been trucking for a year now Any advice for me step by step on buying a Pete 379 or KW W900L
@@lifewithcam8670 thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm glad to have you as a subscriber! On buying a truck check it out thoroughly! Find one with a single turbo caterpillar, or a Detroit (this will be the one that is cheapest to repair) or a N14 Cummins (just carry spare injectors), also get a truck with a 13 or 18 spd, with at least 355 rears!
@@G5OutdoorAdventures Thanks man for the advice. I will be using it starting in January when I’m going to be ready to get my own truck.. I’m based out of Dallas Texas Do u think any cattle haulers will let me tag along with them trying to see the whole process. Even if I have to pay them to ride along.?
@@lifewithcam8670 your welcome! Good luck on finding a truck! I'm through FT Worth pretty often, may be able to let ya ride along if schedules work out
@@robynwitt5216 thanks for watching and thank you for putting in time behind the wheel! There is something about hitting the open roads, big cities maybe not so much!😁
@@scotsmanofnewengland7713 thank you for watching! That's pretty cool to have someone watch and comment from another country! And you are correct, it's not just the destination!
@@AnthonyGreener-l6u this one is 52' my other on is 53', most of the guys I run with have closed tandems as well, I guess it's just personal preference and the spreads seem to eat up tires on the front axel
@@matthewwade4646 I used to pick up cattle from there for years but haven't picked up there in quit a while, mainly pick up at ranches and haul to feed lots now
Last time i went thru Denton was construction , they ever getter done ?? which aint been lately . Do Ya go around there in Davis or do Ya have too ? Bein Nosey i guess , dont know much about cattle hauling , sorry for the questions. I guess Yall dead head back ever get any coming back or going on some where else ?? No more questions !! i promise hahaha Sorry
@@jamesconn7311 northbound Davis is pretty much shut down since they got the big chicken coop past the #5, still a bunch of construction north of Denton, and yes deadhead back, I hauled a few loads of fats back but doesn't pay enough to haul them bigens and then I was still over 4 hours on the wrong side of home when I dropped them off so I quit doing that
@@karljacobson1575 yeah just a little south of there, I've made quite a few loads up there, they have been sending a lot of pasture cattle to the east and west lot lately. What do you haul now?
@@G5OutdoorAdventures i still farm . i have 2 Freightliners and 1 379 pete!!! i drove in tough times 80s and 90s to keep farming!!!! didn’t farm as much back then as i have now!!!!!
@@karljacobson1575 awesome, glad you are still able to farm and keep the tradition going, there is not a lot of yall left! My cousins still have a dairy farm in Texas, one of the few mom and pops left, thank you for what you do!
@@8110deere glad you found my channel! I hope you stick around! And you are right about the drivers, here lately I seem to see something crazy or messed up every trip!
took cattle out to ingalls ks for a farmer friend here in Abilene ks not knowing about Great Bend feeders just west of gb those coons looked fat and sassy LOL
@@ernestosaldana5318 Fort Worth was more of a direct route, more so than Dallas and I try to stay away from Dallas as much as possible because of the traffic! And yes the guy in his luxury 4x4 did not have the right type of tires for off road! 😁 his quick get around probably cost him a lot of time and probably money to get out of that spot and if a police officer came along probably a citation as well!
@@billywaynemartin438 unless you are traveling across country you typically don't stop and let them rest, load and go! You stop and check them several times to make sure one doesn't get down and can't get back up. If they are healthy cattle they can usually ride 12 to 15 hours without any issues
Great video sir, thank for taking the time to share with us that love cattle hauling. I miss it, big time, pulling dairy tanker right now, pay check is pretty down good, probably do for awhile, high demand for holidays. But come March 2025 I will be looking a good outfit in Texas, maybe, the benefits are hard to walk away from, health insurance, and alot more. Keep making those great videos
@@tymaze2539 thank you! Yes benefits, health ins, vacation time are all a big plus! My wife has a good job with health insurance so that has me covered on that,but everything else is on me, no paid vacations or retirement plan! Definitely something to think about before you make the leap! One of my grandpa's drove a milk tanker truck for years, picked up milk from dairies until he got a full tank then delivered to Houston to the milk processing plants,I used to ride with him when I was a kid, great memories!
@@G5OutdoorAdventures Yes sir, only reason I am doing dairy, know one I know of is offering healthcare or retirement hauling cattle, not one cattle companies. Well maybe some
@@hacegonzalez8166 I don't want to get too specific on a public forum, but the money is good when there is plenty of cattle to move, but the market is always fluctuating. I get a little over $5 a loaded mile and most loads are 600 hundred miles or more, but keep in mind the drive back to get another load is on you and about 99% of the time there is no return loads like hauling freight or something else. Just look around at how nice the trucks are and see what type of trailer they are pulling and you can tell what type of cargo is paying the most!😁
@@hacegonzalez8166 good luck on your CDL test, be sure and study the heck out of the pre-trip inspection, that was the hardest part remembering all the points you need to hit!
I like how you put that in there about the towns and how come they got started in what year they got started it this way I can follow you long. I can just pull up my phone and bring up Google Maps follow you going right up the map keep that up I like that.
@@raymondbradley6788 thank you, glad you like it! Yeah I haul cattle all around that area, it's cool when viewers can relate to the area I'm rolling through, have a great weekend as well!
Another great cow transport trip, G5. Keep up the great work you are doing sir. I loved your new style of shots and directing. I really enjoyed it. I loved the drone shots. Thank you again and have a safe travels 👍
G5 l have a question why don’t feedlot in Texas and Kansas didn’t buy Holsteins and Jersey steers and heifers to fatten up why is that? Do you see any feedlot that raises Holsteins and jersey beef cattle
I have delivered to one feedlot just west of Amarillo that had a bunch of holsteins, but your right, it's not common, it may have something to do with the taste of the meat maybe.
I'm a heavy hauler used to live on a cattle ranch in the middle of the San jauqiun delta in ca not a Democrat !! Like the music bro stay safe God bless
@G5OutdoorAdventures I'm go all over the us alot of ports and military bases I live in my truck I bought property in Northern Nevada I don't want any neighbors lmao anyways nice videos God bless my freind !!
@@jessphuqette1716 Wow! That's awesome, I bet you saw a lot of changes since then, in the trucks, the laws,and the regulations! Thank you for the time you put in, I hope you are enjoying your retirement!
Really enjoyable video trip with all the towns listed G5. Read some of the comments below. I was about 12 or so in Reagan Tx. Neighbor had a 600 Acre ranch the fell into the Highbank area bottom and a big Red Brangus showed up in his pasture. He discovered the owner of that Brangus had a ranch in Mumford Tx bottom. Couple cowboys pulling a open top 2 compartment bumper pull stock trailer unloaded their horses and backed up to the dirt ramp loading chute. When that animal took off from the back of that chute like a bullet, she cleared the trailer, her hoofs hit the passenger step side running board and disappeared. We never saw her again on that ranch. On a sad note, G5 did you hear about the family of 4 from Troy that drowned somewhere in or near Alaska? Was couple weeks ago I think. Be safe sir.
@@johnhrynyk8521 that's hilarious about that brangus! Some of em are wild as heck! A couple guys from church bought a bull a few years ago, unloaded it one of their houses, went out the back of the trailer, through the barn, over the fence and never saw it again! 🤣😂 Yes I heard about the people that drowned, very sad, I think I heard that the boat capsized. The seas can get bad real quick, start off nice and calm and in no time you've got big waves! Thanks for watching, I've been putting in some long hours on the road this week, just now got around to getting back to ya, headed back out in the morning!
NOTHING worse than South Florida " cracker cattle " wild as deer and about as fast . Fresh out of swamps they use helicopters and air boats to gather them . As you can guess they not only never been on a truck - hell they NEVER SEEN a truck . Had to take old Hwy 41 north ( narrow 2 lane with damn little shoulders ) and first 50-60 miles you use ALL of it .Would of swore they were square dancing back there in trailer .
@@stormyweather9054 WOW!!! That's some crazy stuff right there! I bet they tried to rip the back of the trailer off when they were unloading, had a load of humps that were like that once, the ones of the top deck never even touched the ramp on the way out, just straight up superman out the back!
