What we haul

Cattle, nuts and farm freight. Done properly.

Everything we haul comes off a ranch, out of an orchard or onto a farm. We know the seasons, the handling and the people at both ends of the load.

Cattle hauling

Ranch to sale yard, sale yard to feedlot, winter ground to summer grass. Loaded quietly, driven smoothly, and delivered with the count you shipped.

  • Ranch, sale yard, feedlot and pasture moves
  • Head count and weights confirmed before loading
  • Runs timed around heat, weather and the animals' welfare
  • Long hauls planned within the federal 28-Hour Law

Almond & walnut hauling

Harvest runs on the orchard's clock. We move almonds and walnuts from the orchard to the huller, sheller and dryer, then on to the processor, and keep loads rolling for as long as the shakers do.

  • Orchard to huller, sheller and dehydrator runs
  • Huller-to-processor and handler deliveries
  • Loads timed to shaking, pickup and receiving hours
  • Walnuts moved promptly, because time on the ground costs quality

Farm & ranch supplies

Hay, feed and farm inputs moved from supplier to ranch, yard or co-op, as a one-off run or on a recurring schedule through the season.

  • Hay and straw
  • Feed and supplements
  • Farm and ranch supplies
  • Recurring seasonal runs on a set schedule

The valley's hauling year

What moves in Northern California, season by season.

NowMar – May

Spring

Cattle head out to summer grass, the first hay cutting comes off, and the orchards set this year's nut crop.

NowJun – Aug

Summer

Hay season runs full tilt. In August the almond shakers start, and so do the harvest runs.

NowSep – Nov

Fall

Peak almond and walnut harvest. Weaned calves go to sale yards and feedlots, and cattle come down off summer range.

NowDec – Feb

Winter

Hay and feed go out to the ranches, and stockpiled nuts keep moving from hullers to processors.

Nut harvest

Harvest runs on a clock.

Glenn County is almond and walnut country. When the shakers start, the trucks need to be there, and every step between the orchard floor and the processor is a truckload.

Windows shift with variety, weather and the year. The best time to line up harvest runs is before shaking starts.

Almonds

  1. ShakeKnocked from the tree once the hulls split, August into October.
  2. DryLeft on the orchard floor to dry in the sun for about 7 to 10 days.
  3. Sweep & pick upSwept into windrows and picked up out of the rows.
  4. Haul to hullerTrucked to the huller and sheller, often stockpiled there.
  5. DeliverHulled nuts move on to the processor or handler.

Walnuts

  1. ShakeKnocked from the tree once the hulls split, September into November.
  2. Pick up fastNuts left on the ground risk stained shells and kernel damage.
  3. Haul to hullerTrucked to the huller and dehydrator promptly after pickup.
  4. Hull & dryHulls removed and nuts dried to about 8% moisture.
  5. DeliverDried in-shell walnuts move on to the processor or handler.

Questions

Before you call.

What do you need from me to quote a cattle haul?

Head count, approximate weights, the class of cattle, pickup and delivery locations, what the loading setup looks like at each end, and your preferred date. The request form below asks for exactly that.

What do you need to quote almond or walnut hauling?

Which crop, whether it's field run or already hulled, roughly how many tons or loads, the orchard or pickup location, the huller, dryer or processor it's going to and their receiving hours, and your harvest window.

How far will you haul?

Most runs are in Northern California, but we hold interstate operating authority, so out-of-state loads into Oregon, Nevada and beyond are welcome. Tell us where it's going.

What is the 28-Hour Law?

It's a federal law (49 U.S.C. § 80502) that limits how long livestock can stay on a vehicle without being unloaded for feed, water and rest, generally 28 consecutive hours. Longer trips are planned around it from the start.

Can I check your authority and safety record?

Yes, and we'd encourage it. Our operating status, authority and inspection history are public on the FMCSA SAFER site under USDOT 1560304. A certificate of insurance is available on request.

Can you keep up with harvest and other seasonal work?

Call before the shakers start. Harvest capacity gets tight across the whole valley, and runs planned ahead are the ones that roll on time. Daily harvest runs, regular hay and feed deliveries and the cattle moves that come around every year are all welcome. Tell us the pattern and we'll plan around it.
