Default cattle haulers

i was interested in hearing from cattle haulersin n.america as i haul cattle in ireland mainly exporting young calves to the feedlots of europe im sure the cattle buissness is as intense as i ireland but as for driving hours and rest regulations as a driver you need to run legal in france and italy because fines are big for driving over your daily hours and also feeding points for stock or larages as they are called daily driving in europe is nine hours a day extended to 10 hours twice a week and 11 hours of time on duty 15 hours spreadover the beef export buissness is big in ireland also refrigarated transport italy is one of are bigest customers for live and refrigarated beef ok what kind of wages can a cattle hauler earn on a good week as of mileage rates anddistances cattle are hauled i was shocked to see trailers in the us last year that didnt have air conditioning or watering points also trailers didnt have hydraulic decks pezzaiolli trailers are what most haulers use they are italian made 100 percent alluminium air conditioned water drinking points and hydraulic decks as for drivers wages drivers on internationall work are paid on a trip basis by the trip from ireland to your destination and then back to ireland if a driver can do 4 italian trips in a month u can pull 2800 euros so i would like to hear from any stock haulers motor safely on the super highways in n. america
