    Been here a year.
    We haul raw milk.
    All local.
    Good equipment(we just got a bunch on new petes)
    Good hourly pay w/OT.
    Great insurance.
    Staff and dispatchers treat you like a human.
    The hours can get long(up to 16 because we are AG), but the shifts go fast.
    Good gig.

    What's the pay rate? Do you haul tanker? What's your schedule like? I live near Ripon. Is this the actual name of the company?

    Yes, tanker.
    $17 hr with OT after 40.
    Days are 12-16 hours.
    14 avg.
    5 days on, 2 off.
    5 days on, 3 off.
    Blue shield ins.
    No union.
    You need a "weigher/sampler" license.
    You can train without it, but you will need it to pick up milk from the dairies.
    Our receivers are in Hayward, Tracy, Fairfield, Turlock, and a bunch of others.
    It's a pretty crazy job at first, but once you figure it out, it's a good gig.

    805 Locust in Ripon.

    Wash tags are good for 24 hours.
    We wash at the receivers.
    Not a big deal.

    Greetings Jet460, I have a road test coming up. Any advice? What is training like as a new hire? I have little tanker experience but they said they will work with me...

    You will ride with a driver, and watch what they do. The days can top 16 hours. Average is about 13-14. Good gig, but you will earn every dime.
