Anyone Work For Millis?

we do run there but not all that much the regional trucks run down to sc more than over the road trucks. we do have a terminal in eden nc it is right up on the nc and va border. they do have trucks that run regional out of eden but not all that sure where exactly they run to out of there.

 

Hey Spanky, You staying busy? Where you been running lately?

 

not as busy as i would like usually i average around 3500 to 3800 miles my first week out and 2400 my second week out. Here lately i have been averaging about 2000 to 2800 miles a week. All i run is the southeast to the midwest area which mainly consist of iowa, wisconsin, illinoise, and indiana. every once in a while in a while during the winter i will run up to upstate new york but that is about once every 2 or 3 months. it is not just us that are slow everybody is slow right now with the economy the way it is. millis biggest problem is the big companies are coming in and undercutting them on some of there runs

 

Thanks Spanky. Where is Seymore at? I live on top of Monteagle Mtn.

 

I was just told that I had been accepted and that I should be recieveing my acceptance letter in a couple of days!!! I believe they said that after I get the letter I need to follow the instructions and call Jazz then.. It is looking like feb for schooling..according to deann the recuiter. IWho knows maybe have an opening sooner, I am so glad as I almost went to swift, just so i can get started not getting any younger ya know!!! From what i have been reading here it seems Millis is one of the most consistent, even in the slow times, wish me luck and cant wait to change handle from gonnabe to almostone,,,,lol

 

hey hounddog seymour is between knoxville and sevierville if you look on the map it is where hwy 411 and 441 run into each other

 

Heres an idea since your husband got let go after all those weeks out on the road
Dont let all the experience go to waste.
By now he should be able to pass the driving test without a problem so go rent your self a single axel tractor with a day cab, go rent a cheap old flat bed trailer ( drive around in the seedy part of town and look into the lots on the side of the road) ask whoever is standing around if you could rent the trailer to go pass a road test.
Chances are the guy will rent you the trailer and for a few extra bucks will take you to the test place.
If the guy looks like a a drinker bring a bottle of something nice, if he's a big fat guy who has food stains on his shirt get him a gift certificate for a hundred bucks at a steak house and Im sure he'll help you out.
Poof!!!! like magic...theres your cdl!!!!

 

I was trying to reply to the lasy who had said that Millis gave her husband the boot after his training was complete and that he came out of weeks in a truck without a license.
Somehow my response didnt attach itself to that message.
I probably goofed it up somehow
I was accepted into the Millis training program and gave Alice the 100. today.
I will be in the class which starts Feb.16th.
I am very much looking forward to the whole thing.
If anyone has any advice they can give me it would be much appreciated.

Hey all you truckers and trucker's wives! My husband is due to start school with Millis in a few weeks and he is very excited! I am just curious about what is in store for me as a trucker's wife. Any advice from wives? Any concerns about the economy and Millis? Also, can he drive with a small dog?
