Good luck to both of you. Keep us posted on how things are going for you. I will be doing night classes in July for my CDL and then I hope to catch on with Watkins / Shephard. If not there then I will be applying at Millis. They were # 3 on my list. Schneider is # 2. Have a great evening.

I'd go with millis... I drove for roehl for a little over a year... If u want no miles and 250$ checks goto roehl then.... Most of millis freight is beer and it's drop hook... Millis has wayyyyyyy better trucks too
hindsy Thanks this. -
The only students millis hires is from there own school. You have to have at least 1 yr of OTR experience or go to there school to get on with them.
I called to find out if they were hiring out of my area and thats what the recruiter told me.
American Truckerhindsy and difference-maker Thank this. -
I cant comment on Millis,but I found Roehl to be a decent company.
hindsy Thanks this. -
Well, its time to decide now. I think I've chosen Millis. I have to call them today and set up my school date. June 7th in Ohio. Millis seems to be a better fit for me. I know I'd like to run some FB's someday, but why start out there when I'm learning. I like the no CANADA idea! (ok LOVE THAT) I seem to see a lot more of Millis trucks running past my door.
I just think that either one of these companies will be a good place to start. I mean they're no SWIFT or CRE, but I think they will give me the quality training I need.
So now the next step in the journey... See on the pavement! -
hindsy Thanks this.

The only issue with Millis is will be stuck in the NE/SE - I like what they offer but really want to get out west also if possible. They only run from the Mississippi river east. And if freight gets slow - you cant haul anything else - where as with reefer you can do both.
hindsy Thanks this. -
The Flatbeds of Roehl are the main reason it took till now to make this choice. I'm going with my gut and just feel like Roehl will Micro manage me and Millis even if they are going to electronic logs will give you some freedom. I think I like the E logs since they then can't tell you to drive when the computer says it is illegal...
Well I'm going home to make the call now. See you in June? maybe? -
Let me know how the call goes!
hindsy Thanks this.
