Millis OTR journal

So, yesterday was a first for me. So far, I've never been to a place running for this company that I'd previously visited in my Millis truck. Yesterday I went to the Cascade place in Dunmore. The company name I had on my load sheet was different. My heart sank as soon as I pulled into the lot, I recognized it immediately. Jesus that place sucks. 10am appointment, wasn't unloaded until 3:30pm. They're gonna hate my detention bill, because it ain't no $20/hour. Have fun with that, Cascade. Spent some time talking to a Millis driver while I was waiting. Real nice guy. I've met him before, never got his name though. Same boat as me, he got hosed on his appointment time. Gotta love it. You'd think at some point they'd get it together if for no other reason than saving money. No skin off my nose because of how I schedule my runs. But I felt bad for the Millis guy. And the other drivers also sitting, for that matter. What a joke.

 

Yup, it seems to go in spurts.

 

Wassup Millis gang. Just in case anyone here is interested, I have an updated Wisconsin schedule, if it happens to sync up with anyone's run time. Since I'll be deep in the heart of Millis territory I'd be happy to meet up with any of you. Delivering in Oak Creek on Monday, then picking up in West Allis Tuesday and delivering to Eau Claire on the 4th. I'll then be doing a 34 in Osseo, which is 20 miles away. Decent bar across the street, with decent food. If you're gonna be in the area, hit me up. And again, I'll be really close to Richfield Monday night. I can easily get to the truck stop across from the terminal. Hope I can hook up with some of you fine folks.

 

Just make sure you're looking at Google Maps for closures. I just delivered to Minneapolis a few weeks back and a LOT of ramps were closed.

 

Lol yup. I'm dropping a Landstar trailer right in the middle and grabbing a Millis trailer Sorry about the hex.
