milk tankers

Sorry to hear that Topmixer11, you walked away from it though and hopefully know what went wrong so you can prevent it next time.

That concrete road looked well wide :laughing: and not a piece of mud in sight, a decent farm by the looks of it.

If it all goes wrong where I’m going. I might be tempted to give this a try if them rates were to get better that you described :confused: Can’t see that happening with what’s happening in the dairy industry to date :frowning:

I QUITE LIKE the aromas :laughing: lots of fit horse riders not naked though couple of farmers dogs so far very friendly and the wild pig , worst part is the flies going to get some repellent as it can spoil sitting outside while waiting for tank to fill, i was watching the cows on the merrygo milking round yesterday quite amusing well for me anyway , just waiting for a quickie with a farmers daughter now really that would be a bonus :wink:

It might be worth give this vid a watch.

The Hose is not closed :exclamation:
If you get catched,either Roadside Control or by Customer at any Time and Point and the Hose on the Vehicle is not closed on both Side ,… You most likely dispose all the Product in the Tank.
We once had a Tank running to deliver Garages and a Customer foned up the Mineral oil Company that a Top was fallen off a Hose when the Lorry arrived and the hole Load went back to the Refinery.
Its to keep the Product clean,and,Dust and Dirt on the Connection could make them leaking.

The Driving, :slight_smile:
If he has Snow Chain in Winter with him? I had once a County Road flooted by Mood. Was real Tricky to do it. But that was once in over 30 Year. My Compliment to the one who di it for Years.
