Hauling Milk...is it worth it?

I've heard that hauling milk can be extremely challenging. They say if you can haul milk safely, then you can haul anything. At the same time, I've heard that the pay is not that great.

Would it be worth it, as a newbie, to gain the experience?

A company is offering $125 per load during training. Training is for 2 weeks. During 90 day probation, 28 cpm empty & 32 cpm loaded. After 90 days, it goes up to 30 cpm empty & 34 cpm loaded. You get an additional $15 to load your own truck. Medical and Life Insurance are paid by the company. It's 24/7/365. If you have hours available to drive during a holiday or weekend & are scheduled to work, you have to work or face disciplinary action.

Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Wrong on pay. Pay check is from $700 - $1100 per week. I run 5-7 days then off 2.
Yeah sloshing sucks, just compensate for it.
Some times loading and loading takes long, yet no longer than a refer. I could make more $; I chose to only run 5-7 days.

You'd be surprised.

I went to truck driving school with a guy from New York City who said he didn't get his class C until he turned 21, and the only reason he did that is so that he could upgrade it to a class A CDL after we graduated.
