Day 1 of training is in the books. We have 4 guys in my class including me. We were supposed to have 6, but one didn't show up and the other rescheduled for next month.

Bill, the instructor in Trenton, is a super nice guy. He has a ton of experience and a ton of stories. Today was spent mostly on paperwork. We got to go out to the yard and look in 2 of the trucks we will be using for training. At the end of the day we started going over hours of service and logbooks. Another day in the classroom tomorrow and then the Millis 500 on Wednesday. Since there are only 4 in the class, we should all get quite a bit of driving time throughout the training. Even though it's only been one day, I am very happy with my decision to come to Millis. More to come tomorrow...

I kinda of wonder what happened to MidTennTrucker. I was one of the 4 guys in his class & I haven't seen him or either of the other 2 guys out in any of the terminals or shipper/recievers....

Hey everyone. I am creating this thread to share my training experience with Millis. I will be starting training on Monday, August 24th at the Trenton, OH facility.

A bit of background. I am 44 years old and driving a truck is something I have wanted to do since I was a kid. I have been sitting in a cubicle the last 2 years doing accounting for a healthcare company. I was miserable, so I finally decided to do something about fulfilling my childhood dream. I did tons of research and ended up applying to a few companies that offer in house CDL training. I chose Millis based on many factors and I am looking forward to getting started.

I will say that the application process has been extremely easy. I submitted my application through the Millis website a few weeks ago. I got a call from Raychel in recruiting within 45 minutes after submitting my application. She verified my employment the same day, and offered me a spot in a training class. She is terrific to work with, has made things very easy, and has answered all my silly questions. I live near Nashville, TN so the Cartersville terminal is actually closer to me, but the training dates didn't quite work out. I chose to go to Ohio (It is only about a 5 hour drive), because I needed a couple of extra weeks to get everything in order before I embark on this journey.

Anyway, I will be heading to Trenton on Sunday. I will try to update this thread as much as I can regarding my training experience.
