I'm Going To Kivi Bros. Trucking! So Excited!

Baaaa.....Oinkkkkk.....Mooooo, BK lol........

Yes, our pigs are 5 miles away at my hunnies parents land. They wanted to care for em, as well as the bull we bought last year. So far I've got around $1,200 in total invested in pigs, having the cement pen built by her brother, the septic, the 4 piglets, and the feed every 2-3 weeks. Paid 4,200 pesos(around $75 each piggie) should sell for around $250-275 each, by end of June. Labors cheap,from $6.81 for farm/building helpers, to $10.22 skilled laborers per DAY !! lol (I tip more sometimes of course)

Ya raise em 3-4 months and sell for lechon (coal roasted pig) Older they get, and bigger actually lowers the price per kilo, since they'd have lot more fat lol.....So @ around 150 lbs+ prime pork meat, time to sell, and buy 2 more for each 1 sold.

The bull, we re-invested the kids money from selling their carabao/water buffalo, be part of their college fund later. Besides the thing was being used by someone else, I sure ain't walkin' 1 those around hahaha or plowing any fields.

Our 10 chickens roam free, they're for our own use, hen's bout ready drop another 10-12 eggs soon lol

Now, the rainy season is back, and with a vengeance yesterday !

Well you got a lot more going on for you than we do. We have probably 10 to 15 chickens. We have a decent size garden and we added like 4 more high laying chick's.

Okay so where do I begin? Well I shall begin at my drive out to orientation. It was short of hectic getting the rental car but I got a sporty Kia Forte and I liked it a ton! Took pictures of the scenery on the way and really enjoyed the drive.

Made a lot of new aquintances and lot of phone numbers from orientation. I was pretty happy with the majority of the presentation. I have done my first load which was mine castings. Only two.

Now I am hauling wood sidings. My truck full weight with full fuel is 75,360 lbs. On this load I have learned a few new things. Don't move your spread axles when loaded, make sure no winches are above a tire because it might look high enough but you are probably not thinking about when hitting a bump and don't be lazy just because you don't want to move a tarp a little ways off. That costs time and money. Also new thing I learned is some companies like to keep their tires after they're off. Hence why I have a tire on the rear of my trailer.

And the coolest thing I have experience is the hand of Father Yaweh making my choice of truck stop the perfect exit because I happily found a Loves truck stop where the TA that I planned to ask permission to fuel at was. So I got me fuel and a spot to stay at the TA down the road. Feels great! One thing I have learned is don't try and force a spot. Not a great idea. You might Jack knife and not be able to get out of it. I was blessed not to have that happen. I'll tell you what though the parking at Loves on exit 71 on I-84 in Connecticut is TIGHT! I am happy TA had parking..

I have been using the Cat Scale app and I'm impressed! I'll do my best to keep you updated!

Victor, I’m glad you are off to a good start. We do regular trips on 84 in Connecticut and I feel your pain. Truck stops are small and crowded up there. It can really be a challenge.

Also, I had a vision in my sleep. God wants you to spell His name correctly and proofread your reports. The proper spelling is “Yahweh”. Do not risk the wrath of Yahweh!
