It's milk hauling company. Lots of good and bad.....
i never worked for them since they were mostly west Texas, but i knew several that did no one said anything about them that was any different than other milk haulers.
Give it a shot if it's sounds like your kind of adventureThe Specialist Thanks this. -
Well,I've never hauled milk before,just perishables,and that was in Germany. It was stressful at times but it was do-able. But anyone know what the pay looks like? Do they pay over time?

But when it comes to hauling milk, you are talking about another world.holmancattle, The Specialist and cuzzin it Thank this. -
Most milk hauls around here are percentage jobs.

Now, I know absolute diddly squat about milk hauling,so excuse me for the "dumb" questions. 0.30 cpm does seem low! Why would anyone do it then? Their turnover must be awful! I wish I knew someone in this branch! I think I read somewhere that Southeast Milk was at $15.00 n hour,then they dropped it to $13! WTH!? To be honest, the more threads I read,the more I am convinced I should go back to painting.The trucking business is really a cutthroat industry!!

I like milk hauling. I like the people that I come in contact with. It is a different world than hauling freight. I have been treated like crap hauling freight. Most of the time, you are treated pretty good hauling milk. About 75 % of the dairies that you deliver to have "break rooms' that drivers can use. Free coffee, milk and juice. Secure parking and I have never been turned away because I was early, go in and sleep until your time. You take last week, I took a load of cream to Fraser, NY to Morningstar Foods, appointment was 3 am, got there @ 9pm, man said back it in. But then on the other hand, I have sit at Morningstar plant in Murray, Ky for 33 hours before.
Overall, when you count your hours against your pay, most of the time you will be making between 8 to 12 dollars per hour and that includes all the hours that you are gone from home.The Specialist, Logan76 and act6629 Thank this. -
I've been thinking of trying WDT. I have pulled milk before and i liked it. Just nervous about cahnging jobs, though the one I have isn't that swell, either.
