There are our colleagues who do not pass through the same point for months at a time and who cross borders to the northernmost countries of Europe, but there are other colleagues who every two days or every day, repeat their route and their routine. They are the people in charge of the daily milk collection.
First thing in the morning, the milk tankers are started up to go to the farms assigned to them for the . The route can go through Carballo, Teixeiro, Arzúa, Chantada or any other point in Galicia, but our tanker drivers usually repeat the collection points.
Our tanker trucks wind their way along increasingly narrow roads to finally enter roads that are hard to believe that a trailer with the capacity to transport 30,000 liters of liquid foodstuffs can be driven on. The road to the farms is usually like this.
Once at the facility, the condition of the milk in the facility's tank is checked and the hoses are connected. From the first moment milk samples are taken and collected in a coded bottle with the collection data.
When the loading is finished, we store the milk sample at a controlled temperature in the truck's refrigerator. We collect the hoses, program the automatic washing of the tank at the farm and issue a delivery note to the farm with all the data of the collection.
The only thing left to do is to undo the narrow path back and start the journey to the dairy that will process the collected milk
