Milk haulers are a vital link in the dairy industry. In performing their duties, the haulers represent the producers, processors, and the regulatory agencies. The hauler grades milk by using the senses of sight and smell to determine the acceptability of the milk in each bulk milk tank. The hauler measures the amount of milk in each bulk tank and samples the milk. These results are used for payment and quality control.
