OTR with the Carolina Kid

Hey guys, just finished my training with Millis and got my truck yesterday. Im in a T2000 truck #6082. Its one of the older ones there about to trade in. The difference in this truck and my trainers T660 is huge. Im still gettin use to backing my truck because it doesnt cut no where near as good. As far as shifting im starting to figure this truck out a little. Had a light load of only 27k goin from Trenton to Ridgeway, VA. Since it was so light I only had to downshift 1 or 2 gears thru WVA and VA. As far as my time with my trainer he taught me TONSSSSS!! Its amazing how much you learn and you learn something new everyday. I remember my first time goin thru 294 I was a nervous wreck, but now I still tense up a lil but am far more relaxed goin thru there. For everybody that is thinking about goin to school or working with Millis, I would do it. There schools are top notch and most people you talk to say good things about the company. If any of you guys see a newbie havin a hard time with somethin, check the truck #, its prolly me, haha. Stay safe guys

 

Im home till Tuesday mornin, them im headin back out. Gunrunner I picked up my truck in Trenton Wednesday mornin so I prolly saw ya and didnt know it. I believe yall was doin the famed Millis 500. Good luck with your school training and OTR training

 

Preciate it Greg, you were a TON of help and a great teacher at the school. Gave us everything we needed for the transition from school to being with the trainer. And Sully I was in Hurrincane, WVA at the TA there off 64, and it took me like 4 pull ups in those tight little spots outside the garage. Boy that CB was chirpin with people talkin, lol

 

Hey guys, quick question. I just bought me a XM and Im having a hard time with hooking it up because theres no Aux cable on the radio. Also where do yall have your XM magnetic satellite pickeruper at because its hard to find somewhere to put it because I can barely find any metal on the truck, lol.
