Anyone Work For Millis?

still nothing in the mail today but I called thursday and they told me that I was approved on tuesday(11/27) for their school. hopefully I get my info in the mail on monday!

 

congrats, so when do you you start your school? are you going to Trenton,OH?

 

thanks
Hopefully my info comes tommorrow. I am looking at going to school in january.

Question for you millis drivers: whats the best way to take the pay non per diem or per diem? and hhg or practical? or does it all work out the same? Any input would be appreciated.

Also is it real hard getting you shifting rhythm back? do i need to take everything i learned about shifting a manual car out the window? I havent driven a manual transmission in 4 years, I remember my biggest problem was getting goin in 1st but once i mastered that it was a piece of cake.

 

non perdiem unless you want the perks they offer for taking it.
practical and hhg miles with the pay difference it will most likly come out the same I went with practical as would most experienced drivers.
work smart not hard
enjoy its truly one of the better carrier's
but will it stay that way Hopefully it will

 

what are the perks of per diem and non per diem?

Went to the post office this morning and my acceptance letter came WOOOOO HOOOOO! I'll let you know the date when I call to set it up later this afternoon. Thanks for all your positive comments and support!

 

Per diem, non per diem, depends on your finances. You should talk to an accountant that deals with trucking.

Shifting a truck is not like shifting a car. It will take a little bit getting use to, but it's not hard to do.

Mark

 

with non per diem you will get a daily tax break of x amount you can deduct x % of that per day out at the end of the year.
which is advisable.
per diem only is ok if you arnt being charged for it is questionable if the company offers to only charge 1 cent off your normal pay thats a situation when you would need to talk to an accountant to weigh the pros and cons
or do a search for kevin rutherford he has a site some where that will help to explain it

 

i'll have to look into that thanks

BTW I am scheduled for Feb 4 at the school in Georgia. Might start earlier the 21st in ohio. Might be better to wait for the 4th of feb that way i get my taxes done and will have extra loot to get me though with expesnses while in school.

Anyone have any experiences at the georgia school?

 

the guy down there (forgot his name) is a super nice guy, you should have fun

 

I'm also looking into millis and I talked to them today. I'm waiting to see if i qualify for a grant/training from unemployment. If i qualify the will pay $3500 of the schooling and i'd pay $1200 here in Rhode Island. I'm talking with my family tonight about going to millis in jan/feb and paying myself.Atleast when your done training you have employment at $.32 cpm and that beats most stat out companies. Anyone else going to millis in jan or feb?If so what location?
