    Don't think WDT is the silver lining, unless the Easter Bunny reccomended it.....:mtongue: But if you like milk, and Dairy people are mostly real good people. i admire them quite a bit

    Just make sure you live load as opposed to drop and hook, generally speaking. You may find that you could be over weight many times if you let them. I hauled milk and food grade for 8 yrs and got wise very quickly when it came to hauling loads. Many times when I picked up a loaded trailer, it was way over weight, so I decided to make sure I live loaded at all times. Many times you will load in the wee hours in the middle of nowhere, but at least you don't have to do much except show up and scale in and out.
    Good luck
