The route-checking record (Form X) is kept up daily for the 

 purpose of checking the accuracy of the work done by the 

 drivers. It is unnecessary to have special printed blanks for 

 this purpose, a cheap book being satisfactory. A page should 

 be allowed for each route. This book should be left at a place 

 where the drivers have access to it, as they are usually as much 

 interested in having their work check as is the creamery 

 operator. 



On examining the sample route-checking record (Form X), 

 it will be noted that there were some errors either in taking the 

 samples or in testing. The person doing the testing should 

 always be certain that his own work is done correctly. To do 

 this he must make duplicate tests. If it is evident that the 

 driver is making mistakes in taking the samples, then he should 

 be so informed, and properly instructed so that future errors 

 will be avoided. If errors in weights of cream are noticed, it is 

 most likely due to inaccuracy of the scales, or failure to balance 

 the scales for each weighing. 



It is advisable to have the names of patrons written on the 

 driver's report at the office. The names should be written in 

 the order in which the hauler calls on the patrons. By this 

 method the names are written more plainly and fewer mistakes
