leftlane you ever ran team? Two people making two livings from one truck is bad enough. But being cooped up in a truck with another driver will make you crazy. Best teams are man wife teams making one living. Even then they have to get away from one another every once in a while. All these regs are making more drivers park every day. Finding a good team is ten times harder than finding a good driver.

computer logs and hours of service regs are all dreamed up by people who never even pulled a boat trailer with a pickup. the elemenohpee thats the current head of D.O.T. is a sailor. retired navy.

It’s already expensive we just sent three pot loads of light steers to a back rounding yard to save hay at home 85 mile trip was $800 a load where’s this gonna end

Try to make a living at that rate.

The producer will take the hit, the consumer won't see any difference. The extra death loss and cost will be figured and prices discounted to maintain margins. Some one close to the halfway point could have an opportunity to background the cheaper calves and then send them on.

Everything is costing more and about to go up in price except gasoline.
