    Every new truck and trailer since 2009 has super singles on it.

    Ya know, if you have to pay more than $200 to get your trailer unloaded you would think they'd hurry it up a bit! I HATE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS!!!!

    All of you Millis drivers...

    I'm looking forward to heading to Richfield for training next week...Here's my question..?

    Is there anything that you guys can think of ..that when you started training you said..." Shoot...I wish I would of brought...? "

    ________________________________________________________ Fill in the blank

    I'm figuring..based on what I've read...3 weeks of training at Richfield...3-5 weeks out with a trainer...then get your own truck and out for 3-4 weeks more...so getting back to the barn might be a while. I've tried to think of everything to do the job with all of the tools needed.

    Thank You !!!

    Get the good laminated atlas. Don't waste money on the cheaper one. Get a good pair of leather gloves not the rubberized mechanic gloves. It's good to learn to shift in sneakers but you'll want a good pair of boots eventually. Really it's good to start with minimal stuff and get what you need because everyone's different.
