The Milk companies in NZ would refuse to pick up the farmers milk if the access to the milk vats was like it is in this video. A heck of a lot of down time and pressure on the Milk Tanker drivers in this videos not to damage the trucks or farm buildings. Top marks to the Tanker Drivers.👍🥃

It's like this in 9 out of 10 places in the UK..always very tight and risky manoeuvres...time ticking away chasing the clock

I totally agree hell of a backward way of picking up milk & having to reverse in for every collection. Never see that in NZ & our drivers are more than capable of going backwards it just would not happen & our Tankers are much larger.

As a truck driver myself, I can assure you that there are way worse places you can go to. In Sweden we have a saying: "It's not tight until you'd have to squeeze through a postage stamp."

These yards were designed and built when the milk was collected by horse and cart in churns . They all have their own unique quirks.

New Zealand drivers would probably refuse to drive on Irish roads aswell.. Rural roads and villages would be pretty tight in places too.. But most of the lads who drive these wagons grew up driving tractors and trailers in these situations So it just comes natural to them...

Kerry Group started in a portacabin outside Tralee, Co. Kerry in the late '70s. Largest food ingredients company in the world now, plants all around the world. A great testament to hard working Irishmen.

I do take my hat off the milk collection drivers, lots of tight yards and awkward lane ways. Plenty of times when you’d be collecting in the dark too. Them rigs look mint 👌👍

Glad you enjoyed it Grant. It's horses for courses as they say. Axle weights are nowhere near as prohibitive as New Zealand, so this configuration works well in Ireland.

why the back axle p on a full load of milk? is it what the weight is not heavy enough to justify it or another reason? not a truck driver myself
@aidankelly9017
Жыл бұрын
Rear axle on the tank lifts to help turn sharper in tight situations. If the axle is down it drags when turning and prevents the tank from pivoting at the rear. You'd be surprised the difference it can make, especially getting in and out of tight gaps. Usually once you go over 50-60km it automatically drops down as it's needed for weight purposes on the road. Great video and top gear by Kieran and Meens Haulage as always 👌🏻👏🏻

Good footage. Could anyone in the business reply to a few questions please. How long are the shifts usually, ie, 8,10,12 hour shifts.? Do the trucks work night shift, as in ,are the trucks working two shifts per day? What sort of money might a driver earn weekly, annually? Thanks from Aussie feul tanker driver

Hi John. Glad you enjoyed the video. As for your questions, I don't know the specifics. But I think the trucks work one shift per day with a dedicated driver, hence the high specification and presentation.
