Looks like a nice tanker. Around where i live they use big articulated milk lorries. The yards and roads are very tight and like ma and my dad say, milk truck drivers are easily the most skilled drivers in the world!

@rogerwilson93618 жыл бұрын
The USA when they pickup it the same but the milk man driver fill out form documenting the amount and how clean the milk tank room are and then the inspector has to see this and how clean tank room and they look both the tank room and milking barn and they are very picky but that has been long ago some 20 years for we stop milking because mamaw and papaw did not want to keep dairying.
is it always in liters or in gallons? Thought that England have had gallons in the metric system?
@moiwilliams1706 жыл бұрын
in the uk we use metric because every thing new is metric, but all the old stuff are imperial so we have to use imperial and metric , for example inch,gallons,foot,yard is imperial but cm,m,litres are metric

stej484 if you haven't realised farming takes money and money needs to be earned cause when your in the dairy business in the uk the price of milk isn't the best! And to make a drive way bigger you need more land and if there is houses there you can't extend it! So don't get on at him for something he does his best at to make ends meet! Cause he doesn't get pocket money!!
