Section 21.68.49. New milk hauler license applicant.

       68.49(1) The department may issue a 45-day interim license to a new applicant for a milk hauler license if the department determines that the new applicant has been trained by an industry field person who holds a milk hauler license.

       68.49(2) An application for an interim license may be made by calling the dairy products control bureau office in Des Moines at [phone] and requesting the interim license and the Milk Hauler’s Manual. The applicant shall give the name of the person who has provided the training and the telephone number where that person can be reached for verification. The license may be issued after verification of the training and verification of the trainer’s license.

       68.49(3) The cost of the interim license is $10 and will be used for the payment of the regular milk hauler license upon approval by the department.

       68.49(4) An application form for the regular milk hauler license will be sent with the interim license. During the 45-day interim period, in order to receive a regular milk hauler license, the applicant shall do both of the following:

        a.           Pass a written examination based upon the Milk Hauler’s Manual, given by a department inspector.

        b.           Pass a written, on-the-farm evaluation of milk pickup procedures by a department inspector on a “Bulk Milk Pickup Tanker, Hauler Report and Sampler Evaluation Form” that was filled out by the department inspector at the time of the evaluation. This form shall be sent to the Des Moines office with the completed application and the $10 license fee (if the fee has not been paid).

       68.49(5) The department shall grant or deny a license application within the 45-day interim period.

       68.49(6) The department shall not issue a milk hauler license if court action is in progress against the applicant for operating without an interim or regular license.
