    how do you get surge out of milk jugs that are typically shipped 7/8th full? lets say theoretically you had a load of jugs that weren't completely full. would all of those multiples of jugs with space create a surge or are the containers too small. i have no experience with reefer and very limited with dry van. honestly as weird as it sounds the only thing i know well is smooth bore tanker. driving anything else would present an adjustment period for me and i have been a CDL holder for 3 years.

    Yeah, quit defending this person, took the ramp to fast, police are baffled. In a related story, I'm sure this milk in Ohio had nothing to do with a small town in central Colorado, ( maybe, you never know these days) but our local Walmart, on a Friday before a nice sunny Rocky Mountain weekend, mind you, there wasn't ONE gallon of milk in the cooler. You should have seen these people, huddled around the cooler, grilling the Walmart employee as to why there's no milk, as if it magically comes from the back room somehow. I don't drink that crap, only because I've worked on dairy farms, but I thought to myself, with these trucking companies going down and crashes,,, get used to it folks.:crybaby:

    i have worked with milk for over a decade. i dont drink much fluid milk (i do love chocolate milk though).... i still consumer milk in the form of butter and cheese. the idea of margarine disgusts me. YUK. my sons drink milk by the gallon. its a running joke when my wife tells me to stop and get the kids milk, when i just got done hauling 2-3 loads of it each weighing 60-70K each.

    Most people have no clue where their food and drink comes from, and even less clue about what it takes to grow it.

    The only milk I drink, and only very rarely, is chocolate milk. When I see all these brown cows out here in Wyoming and Montana, I wonder who is drinking all that chocolate milk. Probably the little kids in school I guess.

    No comments about the blonde yet? I'm somewhat ashamed of you 'drivers'. Looks to not have a brain in her head but still capable of being very...ummmm... talented.
