Millis chat room

I had a small incident, absolutely zero damage to the truck and about $10 to a toll gate. No police report, no one at the "scene" was contacted. BUT since it was at an Illinois toll gate with cameras I thought I'd do the right thing and report it to Millis. Millis told me "just be more careful we'll just put this as a verbal warning" about a month later safety was asked if Illinois ever contacted him and he said no. When I got my "bonus" I was charged $175 for being honest. (hey would've never known if I hadn't reported it) I inquired as to why I was being charged money and I was told "just in case they decide to charge us something 3 years down the road" needless to say I was PISSED. Fast forward to now. I apply at Lone Star Transportation fill out the application, get a call the recruiting department says everything looks good as soon as millis contacts us back you'll be good to go. Millis took their sweet a s s time and finally I get a call that I wasn't accepted because millis said I had a preventable accident, that I didn't disclose on my application . So once again another lie from Millis... So much for a verbal warning.

 

I agree you got hosed for being honest, but sadly they can report that to dac as a preventable. The safety bonus thing sucks but as I was once told, safety bonuses exist so they can take them from you. With Lonestar I would call them and say you didn't report the accident because there was no report filed and no inspections done, so its not DOT reportable, No CSA points, and no other vehicles involved so its not on a MVR. Do you have anything on the qcomm showing it was just a verbal warning?? If so you may be able to get it off your dac report and could help you with Lonestar.

 

As far as I know its not even on my dac report. Unless it takes a while to show up. A month or so after it happened I ordered a copy of my dac report and there was nothing on it.

As far as the QC message, there was one but it was in my old truck and i deleted all the messages when I got the new truck.

 

They are giving false reports to companies I have applied to as well, I'll pm you my number I talked to a employment lawyer Friday. A previous post asked why people don't stay...... true colors come out after awhile!

 

Is that jerk Bruce still dispatching at Millis? He screwed me real good back in 2006.

 

Not positive but I don't think so

 

Double post

 

awesome i will see what they say since i have an interview tomorrow. I have one company that already wants to hire me and one that i can get the job anytime because my Wife's aunt is the hiring manager. If i get screwed out of this job tomorrow because of something Millis says they may be speaking to a lawyer

 

I have an idea. Maybe if you worked with your drivers when they have issues or maybe treated them like people instead of an annoyance and had some sort of communication system, then maybe all these drivers wouldnt be trying to get jobs with other companies. Lets take me for example. I am moving right now. I asked about staying on after i move and basically was blown off and given a couple of vague answers. Until this point i enjoyed my time at millis. I had no plans on leaving. But since i am almost done moving now and still have no clue what millis plans on doing with me i have applied to a couple other jobs in the area i am moving to. I mean what am i supposed to do? Wait until i have moved over 3 hours away from Trenton and then find out that i cant drive Regional anymore? I am sorry but i am not going back OTR. And i am not driving 4 hours one way to get to and from work. I was told that we dont have any freight that runs up by akron. which is bull. we go to cleveland all the time which is 20 minutes from akron. So since this is my life and livelyhood here i took it on my own to find a new place to work. To tell you the truth I almost decided to quit driving because of this experience with Millis.

 

I hate to say it but I think they are on a downward spiral
