    Wow...that's a lot of chrome to polish. Will you try to always keep it that clean?

    So, Steve, quick question. How many cows would it take to fill that truck in how many days?

    I think a cow produces what? 2 gallons a day?

    Hope it works well for you.

    You don't wanna know what this thing cost. Put It this way, I never thought I'd ever spend this much on a milk truck In my life time. One thing to consider here Is the tank Is brand new and I'll be able to transfer this tank to the next truck when It comes time to replace. Hopefully this tank last's me a good 15 years. The tank Itself Is worth about 80,000 dollars. That'll be 80,000 I won't be spending on my next truck.

    I'll do my best. Every day the truck gets cleaned and scrubbed. In time I'm sure the rims will loose their shine some due to all the gravel roads I travel on.

    Thanks Mark! I haul In 4 loads one day and 5 loads one day. The same exact stops/route every other day. A good cow will produce 80lb to 100lbs of milk per day (9 to 12 gallons. A good herd on average will produce 70lbs per day per cow. Better feed quality will produce more milk In a cow and just like hunting good genetics go along ways too. As for filling my tank It really depends on the size of the dairy farms I pick up. I got one dairy farm that I get 48,000lbs of milk from every day. This dairy farm milks about 600 cows. My tank holds 51,500lbs (6,000 gallons). Each month I haul In anywhere from 6,000,000 to 6,400,000lbs of milk. That comes out to around 700,000 gallons a month.

    Lol! Actually I was In northern Minnesota on a family trip that we started taking when we had our daughter 4 years ago this July. I sent you a text!!

    Thanks everyone! Loving the truck so far for the most part. I do have a slight vibration either In the right front tire or In the back drivers somewhere. In the next couple weeks I gotta get In back to the place I bought It so they can look at It. Other then that It's been awesome.

    Wow...I didn't realize cows could produce that much milk a day. Interesting.
