I visited the other unnamed forum you mention i would of responded their but I only post at the best forum which is here.
Its unfortunate your and those other 2 dude's situations,
But to say we Millis drivers should be ashamed to work here
is quite arrogant.
Your problem is with one aspect of millis and not the company as a whole which to me from 6 years or so of driving to be the best one yet from recruiting all the way to the shop. TherEs some bad days some good ones like any other carrier.
For the most part the only whining i hear is from students and thats just about the lenght of training that's a bad thing? normal i guess.
This is the best carrier i have ever worked for.
And I sir will continue to drive for them as long as they let me or I let them. And im quite sure that most all millis drivers agree.
Im not forced to do anything here you do what you can get paid when your suppose to and are home when your suppose to be.
I love it this is why i came bac to millis
Best of luck to you

i have to agree with trucking bum.

Is there anyone else on the boards who is going to Millis Training Institute in january at any of their schools especially cartersville? Keep me posted as to whats been going on at school and such I would like some insight before I go in february

Hey Trucking Bum-Millis website says they have a yard in FTW TX. You been to this yard? Also how much traffic do they have out of TX. Thought about talking to them. TKS

They lease some space at a secure yard texas. I have been their its ok texas is hard to get out of
no matter who you work for but they have a big account their now
Near the yard . so should be no worrys . Worse comes to worse theyll find a broker load.
good luck

Thanks for the info.

no problem

I'm starting on Jan. 14th in Richfield. Can't wait to get started. Will keep you informed on the training. See ya hopefully down the road. Anyone else been to or going to Richfield?

i noticed on the millis website that i must pass a company physical. is this in addition to a dot physical? can you tell me what their looking for in the physical? i recently read that schneider is checking your pulse after lifting boxs etc. if you dont meet their standards you get sent home.

i dont want to quit my job only to find out they wont hire me. at 54 yrs old i,m not a strong man any more. do you hand unload much at millis? thanks for your replies

They sent me the Dot Long form to have my Dr fill out and then they want you to send it back to them And to have it done 60 days before you go to school this way your medical card(they provide) is freshly up to date.
Only issue is your medical history is between you and your doctor,he's the one who certifies that you meet the DOT regulations. Them getting your long form could (I said Could)lead to them disqualifing you.
(rather discriminating against you)
If you need more info call and ask to speak to Jazz.She is the one that does the coordinating. I have my letter from MILLIS,I'm getting my CDL here at home first and then will decide what company to go work for.Keeping my options open. If I choose MILLIS I still Have to attend MTI and be under contract for the $2500 and 1year. Best of Luck
Schneider has you do the egronomics test. Squating,pulling, lifting crate with WEIGHTS all things to simulate what is required for the job.It can be downloaded from thier site. I'm told the biggest thing with most companies especially flatbed is BLOOD PRESSURE! MAKE SURE ITS CONTROLED IF NOT WORK ON IT AND WHILE YOUR AT IT START EXERCISING(INFO I'M ALSO FOLLOWING)
