Questions about Dairyland Fleet

You'll probably have to talk to a recruiter. Not sure if we have any Dairyland drivers in here.

 

It is very limited from what I understand. I think it is a local thing to Marshfield. Call a recruiter and ask. I really know nothing about it and am just going off the few things I have heard.

 

Had a friend that was in that fleet. The equipment is pretty much the same as the other fleets, but mostly reefers as the main loads are cheese, frozen pizzas and butter. My friend said that he ran mostly the back roads and WI highways, didn't see very many truck stops so he complained that he didn't get to eat very regularly (that would be his own fault). I think if you hustle you could probably average 2k miles a week, and if you don't hustle, well that's on you. I would say call your recruiter and get the poop from them, they all seem to be straight shooters!

 

I don't know if it's the same, but when I did intermodal last year, it was $7 drop/$7 hook and $12 per live load.

 

Congrats...I was also looking into the Dairyland fleet but couldn't find info on it either so I decided to go with the Curtainside. Have the opportunity to be home most weeks. Have to keep us posted with more Dairyland info...sounds like its not to hard to switch divisions if the need arises. Kim told me that they are booked up until the end of May for classes...think she said something about June 9th for my class??

 

Any new feedback on the Dairyland route? I was told by the recruiter the starting pay is .29cpm for dry van .31 refer and average about 2-2500 miles weekly. I chose the Dairyland option,still havent seen much feedback from anyone else about it though.
