It's always nice to read about people being happy with their job. And it's only natural to want to defend it when someone comes on here talking #### about your company. When I was with Millis I really liked them I just didn't like being away from my wife even though I was on regional. Tom, Walt, Wade and I think Spencer were the main dispatchers for South East. They all kept me running with very few periods of just sitting. I got a brand new truck 1 year after I got there and put 50,000 miles on it in 6 months. Keep in mind I wanted to get home as fast as I could on Friday and stay at home as long as I could.
I have always said Millis is the best driving company out there for new drivers. The very good equipment was the most important thing to me. With all that said I can relate to the guys that are against the Spy-Cams. I'm very passionate about someone else invading my space even though I don't own the truck I am in charge of it while I'm driving/living in it. Obviously there will be people that couldn't care less about always being on camera and I say good for them. That makes life a little easier.
I'm not sure why I'm writing this, just bored and wanted something to do. Anyway that's my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it.

What really gets me is when people make ...shall we say....extreme assumptions. Such as....they just want to stress us out, they just want a way to fire the long term drivers, the safety messages are a major distraction, just to name a few. All of which sound crazy if you really think about it. I'm trying to imagine the conversation they had when they decided the drivers needed to be stressed out. One forum member (don't remember who) actually couldn't understand why he was called out for reading a map and taking both hands off the wheel while driving. Can't imagine why they may spend some time watching him.
Anyway, that's my two cents. ... -
I often have the conversation about you should lucky you have a job theory...actually, the company is lucky that people are willing to work for them. The employee / employer relationship is a two way street...meaning, it takes an employer AND an employee to make the business run. Each should have the respect and support of the other. But, when one side doesn't provide their part it becomes a we versus them situation and that's not good for either party.
Bottom line, it might be their truck but its my time and sacrifice that makes them money. I expect them to respect that and make it as accommodating as reasonably possible. If it's something other than that, they can come drive the truck themselves.WisconsinF150 Thanks this. -

When they first put them in they told us it won't see into the sleeper, but they later changed that and moved the camera/microphone to the center of the windshield.
The camera is also infra-red. It sees in total darkness .... and yes, Millis does not deny that it's infra-red and sees in total darkness. The camera lens is surrounded by small i.r. lights. -
As far as reading a map when driving?? Millis wasn't upset I was reading the map, they were upset that my hands were off the wheel a total of 3 seconds.
You're a driver?? -
