A truck driver should always have in mind that the Animal Welfare Information Center as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is regulating all rules and regulations connected to livestock hauling. This preliminary step is of a great importance because it will include equipment, animal, and weather as well as road factors.
By pre-planning livestock hauling many trucking companies have ensured animal welfare!
Thereupon, being informed about the fitness of the cattle on each truck, and their transport history is a must if a livestock truck driver wants to perform safe and time-efficient transportation.
First and foremost, livestock hauling should be performed in a careful manner because it can cause animal stress, increased falls, as well as injury during the transportation process.
Each truck driver who is performing livestock hauling should undergo numerous training in order to become more competent at stopping, cornering as well as starting practices that will lead to less stress caused to the animals.
