    I have seen that Millis has a school to train their drivers. I am a little confused about it. Will Millis hire graduates from other schools, or is a newbie required to go through their school? I will going to school in Nashville.

    Well, I found the Millis website. From what I can tell they do not hire driving school graduates. If you are a newbie you have to go to their school. You have to have 12 months experience to be hired by them.

    Anyone know how long their orientation is and if they pay you for it ? I'm going to be broke money wise until I get my first pay check from them. Also due to working for some of these companies who treat their drivers like cattle I have somewhat of a shakey job history. Would that be a problem ? And how much experience do they require ? I have about a yr local and a year and a half OTR.. Thanks for the replies..God bless !

    as long as you have no accidents or tickets and have a year and half experience you should be ok. not sure if they pay for orientation or not cant remember your best bet would be to call them tomorrow and talk to them. i know they only a require one year experience or you hve to go thru there school.
