Hi mate,

I’d say that Denis F is a good bet for knowledge of livestock requirements, but he’s probably having a kip just now. :wink: :grimacing:

Just before somebody jumps in with " you’ll need an ADR licence to drive a milk tanker," you don’t need anything apart from the relevant driving licence to drive a milk tanker, or any other tanker carrying goods that aren’t legally counted as ‘dangerous.’ :wink:

An ADR licence is only required for the carriage of dangerous goods. :smiley:

yes you do !! defra.gov.uk/foodfarm/farman … aining.htm

and more importantly you need experience of handling stock ( an old livestock hauliers saying is " it’s easier to train a stockman to drive a wagon than train a driver to handle stock " ) :wink:
