Whether is unclaimed furniture in a box trailer, new cars on a car hauler, fresh produce in a reefer, or livestock, it must get to the end user eventually.

Cattle transportation is just one of a million things that a trucking company must consider. There are pros and cons to deciding the type of freight you wish to haul. You will need special equipment, special trailers, and specialized training.
This might not always be the case with the freight your transport, but there are times it is. You might even be required to have permits and endorsements.
An obvious example of this is related to fuel trucks. They cover all the bases mentioned above. You need special endorsements, HAZMAT and such. You’ll be required to use special trailers designed for hauling fuel.
The driver will need to be trained on how to handle those chemicals and know what to do in the event of an accident or a spill. This is just stuff from the top of my head, I could write an entire article on this topic all by itself.
Whether its cattle transportation or the cure for anthrax, you must know what you’re transporting and how to properly deal with any potential issues.
