The old picture I posted last night of the Carnation milk plant got me to thinking about something I read 20 years or so ago. It was a weekly column in an ag paper as I recall. The guy claimed that when he was a kid,all the milk haulers had what he called "can slingers" or CS. The article was about the CS. He said they were usually the local high school dropouts who you'd see just hanging out around town,always a cigarette hanging out of their mouth. He claimed they'd ride in the back of the truck,jump out and pull the empties out and load the full cans then jump back in the truck,sometimes without the truck ever coming to a full stop. I hauled can milk,my Dad hauled,my uncle worked in the receiving room at the condensary for 35 years,dumping cans,weighing and testing milk. I knew all the haulers since I was old enough to remember anything. I never knew anybody to have a CS who rode along. Anybody else remember a hauler ever having somebody who rode along regularly so all they had to do was drive? Or was this guy just confusing the milk truck with the garbage truck?
