Millis chat room

3600 miles last week, was fun, ran up thru Ok,Kansas,Iowa,Minn first time in a long time actually running thru those states. Beto Junction T/A in Kansas just after Emporia on 35N is a+, spotless showers. Sitting in Tenn. right now have a 3 stop load tomorrow in AL and MS and see where I go from there.

 

Glass and scratches were low on the 660. I'm thinking it was a car. There was damage on the cab extender on the drivers side too. Might have jack knifed. I'm wondering if this happened during the storms in ga.

 

Seems to me that either Millis is an excellent company over and above the rest or, they know how to hire good, happy people.

 

I can say they pay higher than the avg. training company. My training was excellent, if by chance you don't get along with your trainer they will get a new one asap. They keep me running, only 2 sub 2k weeks that weren't due to hometime in 9 months. One of which was a shipper issue and not a company issue. They don't mess with your pay, you run they miles they pay you for the miles. They reimburse you if you are suppose to get reimbursed. They get you home when you want to get home, at least 95% of the time, I have never had an issue and most everyone I know hasn't. They don't do the opti idle, opti fuel, opti-we think you are a 3 year old and need to be told everything. You get a fuel book and are told figure out how to get there, you can get directions if needed. There are bad things to, but nothing bad enough that has made me want to quit or has put me in danger as far as safety issues. So the bad things can't really be to bad.

 

Well considering it was a holiday weeki,ll still end up with over 3300 miles this week good job Millis granted abt 650 oof thatwas deadheading from Holiday City Oh to Eden NC on the 4th

 

How are you guys at Millis likeing the elog? I only have experience with paper logs.

 

I don't hate them, no need to worry about running illegal unless you intentionally run over. Sucks knowing you will be 10 minutes short of making a terminal for hometime and having to shut down because of it.

 

Do you find yourself taking your 10 at a shipper / receiver instead of a truck stop to run efficiently?

 

Paper or not should stay at shp/rcv if you can, I don't do it for efficiency as much as to avoid the truck "drivers" that hang out at the truck stops and the stale smell of pi** in the air.

 

Not all "drivers" are like that, the comment was "rude" since you like "quotes". I prefer a truck stop to use the facilities, and eat. Where do You "go" at the shipper?
