It looks fairly similar but my god does that wag and drag combo look long. I may end up on a transport work visa so this video has helped me to see what equipment is used. Thank you for posting it.

      This is only a small truck and trailer. Fonterra has bigger trucks for bulk hauling between sites. There are also big wine tankers. They can gross 58t. We had a sub-contractor on site the other night he could carry more in his trailer than this entire truck and trailer. Also all the very best with your move to New Zealand. Let us know how you get on with the move. We "should" have another family day video soon.

Next time I will make sure to show a bit more. I had to be very careful what I did show due to privacy. All the same very good spot 🙂 Also as I was filming he really didn't want a spill!

    Well this is a fascinating vlog! So many questions! How are you so chirpy at 5.30am?? Are the tanker sizes smaller than the tankers over here? Is it more stable to transport liquids in a split load like that? (Actually, watching Warren walk around the trailer, it doesn't look so small!) So a sample is taken from each milk load, but mixed together and then tested for penicillin at the factory. Is there no way for the milk to be tested before it's transferred to the tanker? It just seems a shame for 3 (possibly) good loads to be thrown out because of one penicillin load. The milk looks like froth! Is that all the cream? But then I noticed on the second run the milk was 'flat'. What's the grill around the base of the windscreen for? In case you encounter an escaped cow? When the truck is washed at the end of the shift, are the insides washed too, where the milk goes? Are they washed between runs? So fascinating! I never knew milk was tested for penicillin! Thank you xxx

    • @lifedownunder4408
      @lifedownunder4408 Рік тому

      Ok so a response!! -I had a couple of cups of coffee hence the chirpiness -The tankers are actually bigger and yes it is more stable - he can carry a total of 28,000 litres combined. The trucks have 8 axles rather than 6 like in the UK so the weight is spread more evenly and he can weigh up to 46 tonnes -No way for it to be tested beforehand - the reader machine is at the factory and there are no transportable versions! If the milk has to be thrown away there is compensation to the farmers affected and the offending farmer will have to pay up to Fonterra (usually they have insurance) -The froth is the cream! Some farms have less cream than others, it totally depends on the cows e.g. Jersey cows will have higher cream content -The grill is a stone shield to help prevent cracks on the windscreens since it is a lot of off road driving on gravel roads and farm tracks -The driver must complete a basic clean which is all of the unloader pipes, sample cabinet and floor mats inside the cab. A full hot wash to sterilize inside the cans is done once every 24 hours so it depends on if it falls on your shift (this truck is start of night shift so we did not have to put it on hot wash since we were on day but the night shift driver who took it from us took it down to the bay to do this). The hot wash takes about 20 minutes and they use boiling water and acid to sterilize it. The truck also needs to be hot washed if changing product e.g. milk to cream or if taking RO water or organic milk. Hope that helps! xx
