no
Not unless the milk contains hydroflouric acid.
Ken.
THanks lads that’s what I thought just making sure .
No. But I know why you might ask that question. I believe that milk pouring into a waterway etc is harmful to aquatic life as it can remove the oxygen from their water, therefor killing them. So a spill from a milk tanker might be treated the same as a chemical spill in that respect.
That was my thoughts ,It’s a bulk liquid that could get trapped in drains etc and turn nasty.

It’s also slippery as hell when on the road 
No but just remember there is no baffles in milk transport otherwise you’ll have butter so watch braking
Why is that the case k5, I take it it’s because it’s used only for mik?
For non milk they refit them and remove when milk (i assume last tanker I drove only did milk) but I know milk tankers don’t have baffles otherwise they churn the milk
Makes sence .
No baffles makes the tanks easier to clean out . Most tanks are single compartment tanks although you do get twin pots and a few triple pots about as well .
Always open the manlid before cleaning (C.I.P ) - first step cold flush, second step hot water and chemical detergent , third step ( the dangerous part ) another cold flush . If the tanks not vented properly when the second batch of cold water goes through its at this point that the tank can ■■■■ its self in.
Also double check top hatch is closed and locked I’ve seen a tanker dump 1/2 tone of water on a car when he was made to brake hard at traffic lights 
shame it wasn’t a BMW convertible 
Any advise on taking milk abroad ,within eu ?
Sorry ,from uk
are you taking Raw milk or pasteurised milk
if your carrying Raw milk I know your Tacho exempt in the UK
Used to take milk from Northern Ireland to Southern Ireland so crossing a border - never needed any “special” paperwork so cant see UK - EU being any different - but I could be wrong.
Raw .so what would happen at Dover etc?

Only if doing farm collection . Secondary haulage - ie from creamery to creamery comes under tacho law .
don’t think you would export Raw milk as your tacho exempt to get it to a place of pasteurising in a set time (think its 2 hours not sure don’t quote me)
