Exempt from EC Rules and cows need milking on Christmas day too.
Farm collection to the Creamery is exempt .
Secondry haulage - from the creamery to another creamery / processing factory is not exempt from EC rules .

Since my reply was in response to a post about farm collections, its exempt, unless they have started keeping cows in the creamery, and cutting out the tanker or churn driver.

well had my first day today doing what I have always fancied, when I say fancied, I really didn’t realise just how much work was involved. The hoses are big heavy and the couplings are pretty much a nightmare if you don’t have half a scaffold bar to lever the clamps together. Although enjoyable and more interesting than general haulage it is certainly not an easy option as I first suspected, but then I suppose that all depends on your load. I am transporting effluent food waste so quite messy.
As far as I remember every day was a new day for you, as a part timer following your hobby you are still living the Walter Mitty dream and still acting like it
Your living the dream the only difference to anyone else is that your living it every day in your head
Even Walter Mitty took a day off

Why so strange, do you not take holidays? And yes I am cruising the cut at the moment, this has been planned for a year now. Not so strange really.
in your op you said you started a new job last thursday thats all…

and here I am on holiday a couple of days later, I am seriously considering purchasing a narrowboat but before diving in head first and spending a lot of money, we have hired one for a month. Just so happens that I had started a new job a month earlier and they knew I had this month holiday when I took the job. As far as my narrowboat experience so far, I can honestly say we are loving it.

I’ve long suspected that he doesn’t know what day it is!
So, one moment you start a job on sewage tankers, and then a few days later you take a month off work to hire a narrow boat for a month…
Nobody works on sewage tankers “for a hobby”…
I’m going I think uk for what I know , fridges / tauts , I’m to old for learning , xpo fridges from what I’m told is a easy job , but tauts for knights of old is only 5 mins from house ( delivering books & a bit of general )
Though not overly keen on agency so maybe do 4 on / 4 off for yearsleys , though a bit of a treck there
UKtramp , are you working for William Gilder ?
I do ex farm milk in an artic tanker and love it,
It’s so easy!
5 on, 3 off, job and finish with full pay, start 5pm finish around 2-3 usually.
My 2 daily alternating routes are 3 runs which consist of:
Drive to farm, connect hose, sit and wait.
Next farm 2 mins away from the first, now full and 35 min drive back to dairy to tip.
Connect hose, sit and wait.
Next run 4 farms all within 15 mins of each other.
Back to tip, then last run is 20 mins away, 1 farm and back.
The other route is similar but 1 less farm but more miles.
Very rarely see any farm workers, never get anywhere near cows, occasionally muddy yards when raining but the dairy’s are always nice and clean.
No waiting to be loaded or sitting in a boring RDC, nothing to strap or mess around with, out of scope on the tacho. Easy money and home every night for around 35k including a few days of overtime if you wish

One question!

I have done lots of dairy and creamery work and seen the raw farm collections coming in. I still remember them bringing in milk in Aluminum churns. But from my quote above I presume you have a single or twin pot barrel, If for instance farm 2 has contaminated or diseased milk do you carry out any tests before loading on top of farm 1 milk, or just collect reference samples?
We have an auto sampler which takes a sample across the whole collection as it loads at each farm, then when back at the dairy a tanker sample is taken and tested before being tipped. If it fails the individual farm samples are checked.
It is in the interest for the farmer to not contaminate or water down his milk, or he could be liable for the cost of the whole load being scrapped. So a small farm with only a couple of thousand litres could be paying for up to 27000!

Thanks, it’s one of those questions I’ve thought about but never asked, makes perfect sense now.
