ATCP 82.10(5)(a)(a) A milk hauler shall wash and dry his or her hands before performing any of the following operations at a dairy farm:
ATCP 82.10(5)(a)1.
1. Using the milk hauler's thermometer to measure the temperature of milk in a dairy farm bulk tank.

(b) If the milk hauler connects the bulk milk tanker hose to the dairy farm bulk tank before performing any other operation listed under
par. (a), the milk hauler shall wash and dry his or her hands after connecting the hose and before performing that other operation.
ATCP 82.10(6)(a)(a) Before a milk hauler collects milk at a dairy farm, the milk hauler shall record the temperature of the milk to be collected, as shown on the dairy farm bulk tank thermometer. If the milk is collected more than 2 hours after the last milking, the milk hauler shall reject the milk if the milk temperature exceeds 45º F. (7º C.). If milk from 2 or more milkings is collected within 2 hours of the last milking, the milk hauler shall reject the milk if the milk temperature exceeds 50º F. (10º C.).
ATCP 82.10(6)(b)
(b) At least once each month, and more often if necessary, a milk hauler shall check the accuracy of each dairy farm bulk tank thermometer by measuring the temperature of milk in the bulk tank with the milk hauler's dial or digital thermometer. The milk hauler shall keep a written record comparing the temperatures recorded by the milk hauler's thermometer with those recorded by the bulk tank thermometer. The written record shall be kept in the dairy farm milkhouse for at least one year.
ATCP 82.10(6)(c)
(c) Before a milk hauler uses a dial or digital thermometer to measure the temperature of milk in a dairy farm bulk tank, the hauler shall sanitize the stem of the thermometer in a sanitizing solution of not less than 100 ppm nor more than 200 ppm chlorine or its equivalent. The milk hauler shall use the sanitizing solution according to label directions.

(7) Connecting milk hose. Before a milk hauler connects a bulk milk tanker hose to a dairy farm bulk tank, the milk hauler shall examine the fittings of the bulk milk tanker hose and the dairy farm bulk tank outlet to ensure that both are clean. Before connecting the hose, the milk hauler may clean and sanitize the bulk tank outlet. The milk hauler shall attach the milk hose to the bulk tank outlet in a manner that does not contaminate the hose or hose cap. The hose shall be connected through the hose port in the milkhouse, and not through the milkhouse door.
ATCP 82.10(8)(a)(a) Before milk is transferred from a dairy farm bulk tank to a bulk milk tanker, the milk hauler shall accurately measure the amount of milk in the bulk tank. The milk hauler shall measure the milk using a clean gauge rod or other measuring device that is specifically designed and calibrated to measure milk in the bulk tank. Immediately before using the gauge rod or measuring device, the milk hauler shall rinse the gauge rod or device with warm potable water, and wipe it dry with a clean single-service disposable towel.
ATCP 82.10(8)(b)
(b) A milk hauler shall not measure the amount of milk in a dairy farm bulk tank until the milk is motionless. If the milk is being agitated, the milk hauler shall turn off the agitator and wait for the milk to become completely motionless before measuring the milk.
ATCP 82.10(8)(c)
(c) After measuring the milk with a gauge rod or other device, the milk hauler shall use that measurement to calculate the weight or volume of milk in the bulk tank using the bulk tank manufacturer's conversion chart. The milk hauler shall record that weight or volume on a written collection record under
sub. (10).
ATCP 82.10(9)
(9) Milk sample for testing. Before milk is transferred from a dairy farm bulk tank to a bulk milk tanker, a milk hauler shall collect a representative sample of that milk from the bulk tank for testing. The milk hauler shall collect the test sample according to
s. ATCP 82.12.
ATCP 82.10(10)
(10) Milk collection record. Whenever a milk hauler collects a milk shipment from a dairy farm, the milk hauler shall make a written collection record for that shipment. One copy of the collection record shall be posted in the dairy farm milkhouse, and an identical copy shall be provided to the dairy plant operator when the milk is delivered to a dairy plant. The collection record shall be signed or initialed by the milk hauler and shall include all of the following:
ATCP 82.10(10)(b)
(b) The milk hauler's bulk milk weigher and sampler license number and license expiration date.
ATCP 82.10(10)(d)
(d) The temperature of the milk when collected, as determined by the milk hauler under
sub. (6).
ATCP 82.10(10)(e)
(e) The weight or volume of milk collected, as determined by the milk hauler under
sub. (8).
ATCP 82.10(11)(a)(a) After a milk hauler has sampled milk from a dairy farm bulk tank under
sub. (9) and prepared a complete collection record under
sub. (10), the hauler may transfer milk from that bulk tank to the bulk milk tanker. A milk hauler may not collect milk from any container on a dairy farm, other than from a bulk tank. A milk hauler may not collect any milk from a bulk tank unless the hauler collects all of the milk from that bulk tank before any more milk is added to the tank.
ATCP 82.10(11)(b)
(b) After a milk hauler has collected all of the milk from a bulk tank, the milk hauler shall disconnect the milk hose from the bulk tank, cap the hose, and return the hose to its cabinet in the bulk milk tanker. The milk hauler shall inspect the bulk tank for abnormal sediments, and shall report any abnormal sediments to the dairy plant operator.
ATCP 82.10(11)(c)
(c) After the milk hauler has disconnected the milk hose and inspected the empty bulk tank for abnormal sediments, the milk hauler shall rinse the bulk tank and milkhouse floor with cold or lukewarm water unless the bulk tank is self-cleaning and includes a pre-rinse cycle as part of the self-cleaning process.
