In 2018, Simply Grazin’ opened a subsidiary trucking company called Simply Haulin’. This trucking company provides all the livestock, equipment and feed transportation needed in our ever growing and expanding livestock company. By adding Simply Haulin’ we have given ourselves an additional layer of protection, ensuring our animals are handled properly and with respect.
Simply Haulin’ drivers have Class A CDL licenses, a clean driving record, as well as knowledge of all DOT rules and regulations. Our drivers also have prior experience driving an 18 wheeler. Hauling livestock, equipment and hay in our tractor and trailer between our farms (NY, NJ, VA) and to processing (VT, PA, MD) are the main responsibilities of our drivers.
In 2021, Simply Haulin’ purchased it’s second tractor and trailer (a brand new 2022 Peterbuilt). This purchase was made due to an increased demand for Simply Grazin’ products and the shortage of transportation professionals to service the ag/livestock community.
In addition, Simply Haulin’ has been asked to provide the hauling of livestock for other producers. Walden’s Local meats is one of the largest buyers of Simply Grazin’ products, and we supply them with grass-fed beef and pasture-raised heritage pork. Walden’s asked Simply Haulin’ if we could haul other livestock producer’s animals to the plants for them as well. This type of partnering is uncommon among the farming business and we are honored to be able to assist them.
