Millis chat room

Good luck and keep us posted on how things are going!!

 

Yes...micromanage is soooo correct ! Can't stand it anymore. If I don't get out soon, you'll be reading about me in the newspaper.

 

They havnt accepted you yet? Seems like they are hiring big time. I am real scared to quit my job, take the school then not get hired. What the f### then?

 

I am very worried, I am either over-qualified for the jobs that most high school and college kids get or under-qualified for anything else. I unfortunately have bills that require a salary to the job I was laid off from and am ineligible for unemployment so the walls are caving in. I applied to Millis and was expecting to hear something in a few days but didn't.

So I went down to the school and was pre-qualified because my background and motor vehicle report is in good shape. Almost a week later on a Monday a woman named Alice called and said she received my application and is going to do an employment check. I told her I was unemployed and she said she was checking my employment history. I said okay but I was pre-qualified down at the school. She said she still needed to run my employment and to call back on Thursday.

This process is moving slow and am worried that their selection process might be really tough. I see myself defaulting on my bills soon so I hope something positive happens quickly. I hope your job shapes up Mspinner or Millis works out for you. I know Millis is the company I want to work for. Sorry about my post being negative but the glimmer of hope seems to be fading.

 

Avj1987 keep your head up man, think positive. I know sometimes its hard to but things will work out one way or another. Keep us posted on what Alice tells you. Good luck man.

 

Thanks indianaEMT, I will keep everyone filled in on the progress with Alice and starting Millis. Hopefully I get the go ahead. Man if I heard something positive I would hug Alice right through the phone haha!

 

Do they send a DOT long form in the mail to you? Or do you have to get one yourself?

 

I assume you have to get one yourself, which is what some other posters have said. Also need the CDL permit too. DOT Physical is a breeze. I think it cost me under $100 and you get the Medical Certificate card with the 3 page long form. If you don't have the physical any clinic or occupational clinic can do it for you. As far as the permit, just use this site and take the practice CDL tests everyday till you have some sense of it. Go to BMV or DMV (some states call it), take the test and bring your DOT card and you get your CDL permit.

 

Oyyy....your young yet. This won't be the hardest thing you go through trust me on that. From what I've been hearing, Alice is a busy woman these days. Nothing wrong with calling her or shoot her a e-mail. Shows your eager.Always Keep head UP!!

 

Yeah I am trying to get as much progress from her without pissing her off. I had to send in my W2 from my previous employers. Sent it by email and will call her again later to confirm she got it. The next step is my info goes to the director and he will decide whether I get in or not. I am hanging on by threads and hopefully I get a yes. Even if I do get accepted I will have to take a lien out on my car that is paid off for some money to pay bills while in training. Trying to keep my head up though.

Thanks for the support Mspinner!
