The Millis Journey

Ok starting this thread to monitor my journey before, during, and after training!

Im 21yrs old and everyone says im to young to be a "trucker" lol great motivation for me!

So im getting into the trucking scene... I know very little about it. Ive been reading on here and learning a lot tho My dad told me about the Millis school so i started looking into. I read stuff on here about them for about 4 days before i made an account. I really havent looked into any other company because from what ive read about Millis it is a great company and it has met all my wants. Seems like a great company and the best for a new driver like myself. So i filled out my online app. and i got a call 20 mins later. Alice needed me to send in my last three years w2s since i have been working for family. Sent those in and Alice called me again to let me know my app has been accepted. Told her i would call her back to give my $100 to reserve my spot.

Went and got my DOT physical 2 days ago it was freakin $60 lol and stopped by the DMV and picked up the Commercial Drivers Manual to start studying for my permit. Ive been reading this horrible thing for 2 days now off and on bout done with round one of reading it. Im not going back and reading the WHOLE thing again no way. Im just going to read the Air Brakes and Pre-Trip parts again and then taking the test! hopefully i can get that done tonight so i can go take the test tomorrow. If not ill go take it Tuesday.

Just got off the phone with Alice bout 15 mins ago. Put my $100 on the class and left her a message to call me back because i have a couple questions about whats next and driving there and etc.

The learners test is $35 so when school starts ill have $595 in this career. But off to read this BORING ##### book some more(im a slow reader too.. makes it even worse lol)

Oh and a budy of mine got the call that his app was accepted as well. So hopefully he can get the money and go threw the class with me!

 

Thanks alot gilley! And Yeh that's what im saying. Gives me alot of time to get experience and get my own truck or whatever I end up wanting out of this career! Your totally right about learning the right way first! I've heard nothing but good things about greg and c'ville training! Im 28 miles away from there. Will they let me drive home every night after school?

How long have you been with millis?

 

Yeh most of the general stuff is common sense tho... but i just finished the book. I will skim over it again before the test tomorrow. I feel like i can pass. Because it is multiple choice right?

Thanks DB and Gilley... wish i knew how to "multi-quote" lol

 

Oh and i read the stuff at the end that tells you what to expect during the driving part of the test.

And Alice never called me back... but i heard something about them sending you a list of things to bring to the school once you pay ur $100... is this true?

 

Oh ok cool. Thanks man! Gah the 24th....... COME OOOONN 24th!!!!!!!!!

Oh.. How is their insurance? Details anyone?
