    57 what? 57 dollars? $0.57cpm? 57% of load? 57 bananas?

    Milk hauling isn't bad, but, it takes patience if you want to make the truck last. Never get in a hurry hauling milk as its transported in an unbaffled tanker. Different types of milk will also have different characteristics as far as kick and slosh go.

    It'll make you great at shifting though!

    If you're doing local pick-up, you're running no matter the weather, you can't shut the cow off from producing milk. When the storage tank is getting fuel you best be heading to the dairy to load.

    My guess would be 3 loads per day legal.
