Grade A Raw Milk 60140 LBS net 66 Miles

We are indeed on the 100/150 air mile exception and the paperwork says our 20 hour days are finished in 12 hours.

Can’t find anything that says milk is or is not included in the agriculture “in season” exception.

Don’t think we qualify as farm vehicles.

Just out of curiosity, how are you able to pull those long days and make it appear legal? Is it one of those things where you guys use the 150 air mile exception? That's only way I can see it happening as that's one of the very few ways your not on Elogs. This is another wonderful example of how local jobs hours typically are just as long, or longer than an OTR driver.

Another reason I miss my little time OTR.

Thanks you guys. I’m reading all the reviews and stuff too I’ll let you know what I get.

Been a couple months now. All ima say is... Southern California drivers... stay away from milk if you want to follow the rules. Hahaha eye eye eye eye eye. Anyways I made a deal with my boss and he’s pretty nice about it. 3 loads a day is the ideal pay at $90 a load but it takes anywhere from 16-23 hours to get all three in. Most of the time is waiting at the plant...

So I’m running 2 loads a day because I gotta be home by 5 so my wife can leave for school and there is no one to take care of the kids (get them cleaned up and dressed and fed and one to school)

Plus 2 loads runs me at 10-12 hours on average...

I started at 1900 Right now I’m unloading it’s 0400 Still have about 15 minutes left here then 1.5 hours back to the yard and paperwork...

That’s a legal day...

But most Milk Haulers are running 3 loads and a lot of them are “domed out”.

We’re looking at loads about 88,000 gross and 18 hour days on average.

But ima stay because my boss and I have an agreement and at least I’m trying to stay within the limits.

If I can offer advice to future milk haulers... is an awesome experience that Inwould not trade for anything... so come on down. And remember it’s your license so keep it safe. One can get mad at you for trying to do the right thing. Just go about it the right way and you can make it. I’ll be here for a couple years. He pay is not at all amazing but the experience and hospitality makes up for it.

Hey Chuck, good luck!

I’ve been here since 2014/2015 and happy about it.

I looked it up and found several “5 Best Cameras”...

But I’m not sure I trust all those reports...

So... I’ve been lucky... but I think it’s time to get a camera just in case one of these 4 wheelers catches me on a bad day.

Any suggestions for a good dash cam. I run mostly nights and in traffic.

I have a friend he moved to northern Washington. He loves it! He says it’s cheap.

Outskirts of Phoenix should by all means be able to get a local driving job in Phoenix or OTR

Stay away from California. A lot of people are leaving and going to Texas.

I would go to Philadelphia if I was able to pick a place...

Hi Chris,

At the plant I deliver to once in the bay it takes 29 minutes after being hooked up to pump...

I have a little route inside the plant I just walk like I’m headed somewhere.

Everyone wants to walk or get cardio but very few actually do... they just say they should or are going to... So don’t be embarrassed everyone watching knows your doing the right thing.
