Sorry about the portrait mode. I did this video on the fly with my iPhone and recorded it all in this vertical orientation. It also downgraded quality to 1080. It won’t be this normally. Standard will be 16:9 4K . Thanks for watching and being a part of my journey.
Did this working intake for 7 years at local milk bottling plant. Pulled sample of load, took temperature, tore all the pumps apart, washed and disassembled hose ends, filled chest with fresh ice, washed entire cabinets and helped with more of the truck if time permitted. Loved that job
So you worked for the dairy, but you handled all the washing of the trailer compartment parts? I’m a driver and every dairy I’ve been to has the driver wash everything at the back end.
@@wadelevan1787 I worked 7 years for Dean foods in Sheboygan Wisconsin. This was 20 years ago with no safety harness crap to slow me up. Only a 2 bay intake because we only bottled milk. Recieved about 14-20 trucks a day. I was young with energy, loved my job and drivers more than the management of the company I actually worked for. The drivers always said that I went above and beyond, I was just happy to put a smile on their faces after the incredibly long days/weeks they put in
Great video. Can you tell me what is your usual schedule. My husband has a CDL and we have a small family owned raw milk hauler near us. The owner told me we need to get a tanker endorsement on his CDL. Wondering if the pay and amount of work is worth it. Also, what region are you in and how is this job done during winter cold months? Owner said they haul within a 800 mile radius and needs us out for a week at a time. What’s the rules on that with DOT. We are aware of the 150 mile ag exemption. Originally my husband has experience in dry van no tough fright and refeer as well as rv transportation.
My normal schedule really whatever fits you. At my job I set what I want. I like my route main route which is every other day. Same farms. I also fill in on my Sunday off so I work 4 days a week. I make avg 200-375 plus wait time everyday. It differs based on route and if it’s a weekend or not. Some companies pay extra for weekends and also pay is different depending. You can make 1000 for 4 day’s minimum in my experience. If you want to run long days we have guys that work 5 days and make nearly 1800-2000. They run 2 routes daily. We run within the 150 air mile rule so we don’t need to run logs unless you run outside that. My company is flexible. A lot of farms do either everyday or every other day pickup schedules. You also have to get out and set up hose for pumping at the farm and test milk so it’s not no touch. You also need to pass a small test for sampling license. At the dairy you will wash your pump components and hoses and things like that. Hope this helps.
The tanker endorsement is easy back when I did mine like almost 10 years ago it was just like a 20 question exam at the DMV and basically common sense knowledge but I also had a buddy that taught me the basics on a couple loads then sente on my way did that for a few loads then we decided I should go get the endorsement lol I was hauling fertilizer from central Florida up to mater farms in south Carolina I loved it did a load every day during season
Good video. How heavy are all the components that you're having to handle? Id also be concerned with being strong enough to tighten and loosen everything?
Sorry for that late response but not crazy heavy at all. If your can do basic yard work or something like that you could handle this job. Nothing is overly heavy . Thanks for coming by .
Why aren’t your valves both open? Everyone I know opens both and closes the one when sucking air. Dont throw stainless parts in buckets. Stainless is not porous and it gets ruined when clanking and banging against other stainless. Milk hauler of 16 years here
Very nice of you to stop by the channel. I'm sure there was a reason for the valves being the way they were for a bit. I can't remember off the top of my head as it's been a long while ago now. Could have been they were close to filling a silo and wanted half in one and half in another. Who knows. Also I don't soak the stainless for cleaning of them. It's a way to hold water and soap to brush them as I clean the space. Each driver has there way of cleaning and unloading. Each dairy has a way to unload as well. I appreciate you stopping by .

Thanks for that service. Not an easy job at all. I’m sure I couldn’t do that for the long shifts they pull. Thanks for stopping by !

You are really good at describing the how, where and why of the job! 👍 Very interesting stuff.
