What Are Shippers and Receivers like for Milk Transport? | TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum

Insipid…..given the content of your updated “wish list”…and what you’ve said in other posts….it might well be time for you to give these people a good, hard look:

CAREERS & APPRENTICE PROGRAM | wdtmilk.com

I see postings for OTR drivers with this carrier. Mostly from Texas over to Utah, & Idaho.

Probably most of your running/lanes would be in the southwest, and far west. Lots and lots of desert/mountains/southwestern scenery!

Very, very little…..to no northeast.

The better money with them would of course be in their OTR positions.

I haven’t worked for them, & don’t know anyone who has….so you would need to inquire within….to find out double-bunk specs, inverter ratings, pet policies, etc. I think you will find that the spouse can ride along–but not any kids.

If you live somewhere from Missouri to Texas, I think you would be in their hiring area.

Be sure to find out what their “detention” pay is, at loading/unloading. Example: if you have to sit for a while (and that does happen, with dairy) in a line of rigs waiting to off-load cream at a facility–how soon after going on duty does your detention pay start? And what (else) do you have to do (if anything) to get it?

I think the following is the worst that could happen:

You work for them for say, a year….maybe a bit longer (i.e., what it takes to really know what’s there), and then you decide (for whatever reasons) you don’t like it.

The resulting payoff: NOW…..you have 12+ months of BULK TANKER experience on your resume (if you don’t already have this)….from an established, easily-recognized carrier.

This experience later opens all kinds of doors in the tanker industry. :)
