    Thinking of applying to Red Stag hauling milk and I have a question. How do you get the cows up top of the tankers to milk them?

    I would ask why would you want to work that hard in the first place?

    You want betsy the moo moo to be contented, happy and no stress. Why would you go through the trouble of putting them up there?

    I rather haul the milk like I used to once upon a time. Not milk them. Sometimes I think Betsy the moo moo gets better treatment than some of us humans get at the truckstop breakfast table early in the morning.

    Stand on top of the tanker & wave a handful of clover & yell, "Mooo, moooo."

    Red Stag Trucking could be entirely different, but the milk hauling companies that I am familiar with, you can write one word over each of them, CHEAP! Cheapest trucking that I have ever done and talk about the wait time at grocery warehouses, you will learn to be very patience at some dairies.
     
    ppbr2001 Thanks this.

    Looks like 40 cents a mile and no load/unload pay. Just got a call from Peak wanting me to be a mobile home toter at an hourly rate so guess I'll forget the milk

    40cpm is better than the milk haulers that I am acquainted with. Most I know is 30 to 35 cpm,

    talked to them today (11/11/2020) and they are paying .47 loaded and empty and are claiming 3,000 miles per week. Been pulling a tanker for 31 years, all hazmat. I don't really know anything about food grade.
    thanks

    Good luck. Let me give you what a moderate size milk hauling outfit is paying right here in Virginia. From Harrisonburg, Va to Winston-Salem, NC or High Point, NC $160. You are looking at 450 miles round trip, so figure it up. 35.5 cpm. Load of milk from Harrisonburg, Va to Glasgow, Ky $350, 1100 miles round trip 31 cpm. I could continue. I hope the 47 cpm holds true for you.

    Now! If you go to the farms to pick up and live unload at the dairy without any compensation otherwise, then maybe they are paying 47 cpm. If so, prepare yourself to be sitting at the dairies for a few hours
