Millis Transfer - Millis Training Institute

Hi all,

I started school recently with MTI in Richfield, WI, and just wanted to let anyone that is interested in Millis to seriously check them out. I am still in school, so I'm not sure what the finished result will be when I'm done, but so far, the training has been great. It is a small class, 4 guys, so we get plenty of driving time. The instructor is very knowledgeable and I would recommend Millis to anyone who is looking to get into the business. I have talked to several drivers and they all seem to be very happy working for Millis.

I will update again on my progress at Millis/MTI.

Bengalman, You will take your CDL test while on the road with your trainers truck. It will be up to you to call your state and set up your driving test. At the end of your 4 to 6 weeks you will take a road test will Millis before you get your own truck.

Most of the companies out there that offer training require you to do 4 - 6 weeks .... they base their decision on how short or long it is on your trainer .... if after 2 weeks he says you are good to go then you go from there .... then again you could get one that after 6 weeks says you need more

It all depends on how fast you catch on to everything .... I have been outta long haul for awhile and running straight trucks .... so I have been told minimum that I either take a 1 week refresher course and go straight to 1st seat or train for a couple weeks with someone .... cheaper for me to train with someone and get paid for it than to pay out the money for the course

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Keep calling them to check on the status of your application. It only took a few days for me to hear back from them. When I talked with Jazz, she said that I could have started as soon as 2 weeks from the time that we talked, but it all depends on how many people are in the class too. I have 4 in my class, but the class before me had 7 in it, so I it just depends on the class size. The smaller class size the better. If they told you that you could start class next week in a class of 8 people, or in 3 weeks in a class of 3 or 4, it may be beneficial for you to wait, since you'd get a lot more seat time.

Where are you planning on attending school if accepted?
