Any milk haulers out there?

Meh that's a shorty compared some of those loads guys haul. 80 foot load length. The fun is hauling them on Goat trails. 3lbs in a 2lb sack. I enjoyed hauling Milk cans and the pay was good back in the day. You in the Valley?

 

I'm over on the right side of the mountains now. But trucked over there for years. Ran a milk truck out of Portland. You know the Dark Blue KWs.

 

Thats about what I made. Milk pays pretty good in NY and VT.

 

Yup, hauling milk around here in MN with some into Wisconsin, seems to be some of the lowest paid work for truckers I've ever heard of, pay seems to be in miles with multi-stops one may only get 200-300 miles in 14 hours. At .28 cents per mile that's grossing only $56-84 in a day. Might as well say, "You want fries with that?"... for that kind of coin.

 

Yeah, shredfit1, those are the farm pickup drivers. They get paid absolutely nothing. Most of those guys at my job were 60 years old and didn't need to make the "big" money. lol I just did transport. Transport drivers make better money but, at least where I worked, not great money. I was making about $1000 for 3500 to 3800 miles per week. Got real old after two years.
