    When I was hauling milk, I ran into Metzler's drivers very often. Most of them seem happy with the company. I believe the pay scale was around 32-34 cpm and the equipment is up to date, no junk. I do not live in Pa but if I did and was interested in the milk hauling business, Metzler would be on top of my list.

    The company I was working for at the time being, we had a couple of drivers to go over to Metzler. But with any milk hauling company, the pay per mile is 35 years behind times and you might as well figure that you are going to run illegal.

    oh yeah there will be some for sure...

    I don't want to dish any dirt on Caledonia but getting home was a bit of problem after I was told "we go thru your area all the time and reload out of NY" like I said in my thread I don't think dispatch and the recruiter are quite on the same page..Part of the problem is on my end I'm just out of patience with everything about this industry anymore..

    IDK maybe I'll just say screw it and get off the road all together..

    Not really. Metzler runs a bunch of milk into the south and that is where I raun into their drivers. And from talking to them, I really can't recall any of them talking about running into the Northeast, I did hear talk about the mid-west.
