    I don’t know about working for an actual farm but hauling molasses to dairy farms is a dream if u don’t like dealing with receivers and appointments
    Large dairy farms use 24 tons of molasses to supplement the feed usually once a week or so
    Feed mills too
    Can be muddy and messy but nobody bothers u and if u spill a little , meh, it’s a farm
    Hook up ur hose , make sure everything is pumping properly then hop back in the truck for approximately 30 min while it unloads
    Easy Peasy
    I’ve pulled oversized loads, flat bed , vans and cans
    Tanker is where it’s at
    Imho
    Easiest $ I ever made
