Milk haulers feeling
UNIVERSITY PARK - Caught
in a squeeze between high
operating costs and inefficient
route planning, bulk milk haulers
are in jeopardy. Their problem is
of vital concern for the entire milk
industry because the haulers are
the connecting link between
production and product.
The solution, says James G.
Beierlem, Penn State professor of
agricultural economics, lies in a
joint effort by haulers and dairy
cooperatives to develop better
controls and management of
hauling routes, costs, and rates.
There are three management
tools haulers and cooperatives can
use for greater efficiency and
stability, according to Beierlein.
They all focus on some aspect of
cost controls - the ability to
determine the precise cost per
mile and per hundredweight of
each route. On the basis of this
information, haulers can bargain
effectively for profitable hauling
rates - and cooperatives can
negotiate the best rates for their
members from the pool of
available haulers.
The first management tool is
based on a program for hand-held
programmable calculators
developed at Cornell University. It
can determine a hauler’s cost of
operation per mile and per hun
dredweight for individual routes. It
can also calculate these according
to changes in cost components
such as fuel, labor, maintenance,
and replacement.
The second management tool is a

the squeeze
haulers conducted in conjunction
with the Pennsylvania Milk
Marketing Board. Once compiled,
data on number and length of
routes, costs and types of trucks
used, and much more information,
will help haulers, cooperatives,
and others to keep up with changes
in bulk milk hauling costs. The
survey will strengthen the
negotiation process for all.
The third management tool
concerns an examination of
routing systems. Once the location
and quantity of milk at each farm
in the cooperative is identified,
daily routes can be planned by the
cooperative for the system as a
whole. Using a system basis,
cooperatives can also determine
the impact of individual ac
commodations such as choice of
hauler, time of day, and days for
pickup. Combining system-wide
routing with haulers’ costs of
operation, it’s possible to deter
mine the costs of additional ac
commodations.
Cooperatives can submit their
routing for computer analysis. It
may be possible to reduce route
mileage, and the number of
vehicles necessary to cover the
routes. Computer analysis is
available.
A solution to the severe financial
stress of the bulk milk haulers is in
everyone’s interest. Better
management and cooperation by
farmers, haulers, and dairy
cooperatives can insure the good
health and survival of this critical
link in milk marketing systems.
