I just paid the $100 to reserve myself a place in the Eden class starting December 8th. With Christmas and New Years being in the middle of the week, it will likely be the beginning of January before school finishes and I head out with a trainer.
Ive got to send them a copy of my DOT physical long form since I got it back in April. It's good for two years, but they may want me to get another DOT physical since its not as recent as most other students. I'm gonna have to make sure they know the weight it has me listed at isn't what I weigh now. I'm fearful they may change their mind when they see it. Ive lost over 40 pounds since then and plan to be another 30 down by the time I head out with a trainer in January. My regular doctor gave me the DOT physical and has been keeping up with my weight loss. Im probably one of the few planning to go into OTR trucking and expecting to lose weight; approximately 125 pounds more from where I plan to be in January. This move is all part of a major overhaul of my life. New body and a new career.
I want to thank everyone who has posted their experiences with Millis. I have found so much useful information on here. If anybody here is a trainer with Millis, I have a couple of questions specific for you. I know about baritone and stevenneil but I don't think they have been on here in a while.
I'm official for Millis in Eden starting 12/8

You're not excited are you?I don't see any excitement in your thread,lol.Congratulations on your new career and your weight loss.
Puppage and WalterSobchak Thank this. -
I'm trying to view it as a blessing. It was a good job with people I enjoyed working with and paid very well. But I would love to drive tractor trailers and go OTR; so getting canned from there has hopefully opened the door to pursing that dream.Last edited: Nov 3, 2014

That was very wrong of that company to fire you the way they did.Im not going to lie it does happen in this industry.Drivers get a prehired letter and the companies find something out then send them home.Most the time its during orientation.If you don't mind me asking how much more do you weigh since the physical in other words have you gained much since you had your physical last April?You've got plenty of time before you start in December.You're determined you're motivated you have nothing to worry about.Millis probably won't even give your physical a hard look.All they care about is having the long form on file.

Sounds like you're more healthy then guys that doesn't have a weight issue.I'm proud of you for doing something about your weight.You're far from lazy I can tell that.What has past posts on Millis said about drivers weight?Does millis have a sleep abnea testing?If not then you have nothing to worry about.
WalterSobchak Thanks this. -
From what I have read, companies don't seem to mind if you use a cpap since it means you are getting proper sleep. Hopefully it wont be an issue with Millis. If anybody reading this thinks it will be, please let me know. -
WalterSobchak Thanks this.

I train for Millis, be glad to try and answer any questions if I can.
WalterSobchak Thanks this. -
I talked to Rachel in recruiting today. It turns out there is no training class in Eden for December. So its either wait until January or go down to Georgia. Decisions decisions...
