New "Animal" Ride!

Well I splurged and got myself a new animal van. Very interesting Kenworth vehicle.. Holds 8 horses. Adjustable stalls, heated, A/C, multiple loading ramps, 26ft inside, air ride.

Ill be able to make longer trips now with way more animals

I think it will work great for the market sales, large enough inside I can set everything up, and just have people walk up the ramps, in and out, very easy.

This unit was custom made for "Smarty Jones" a famous race horse.

Very happy with it so far..

realy??? oh yea a single axle is class 5 but if it has airbrakes you will need airbrake endorsment,its only a one day course super easy, and you learn allot of valuable stuff beautiful rig!

Air Brake endorsement is also not required on Farm Registered vehicles.... makes it very easy! haha. I will most likely still take it at some point, but right now there are no classes offered near me, as they have all been cancelled due to low enrolment.

I think you had better look into that a little more Ty. We have a single axle Volvo which is a farm vehicle and you need air brake endorsement for it. And I would say a Class 3 is a closer call. You need a Class 3 for a horse truck, even though it is a farm vehicle. Make sure you know what your weights are on it, that may change things.

When I got it registered they said I was fine.. .Here is a website [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] .
