Starting training at Millis on Nov 2, 2009

are you sure your going to richfield the only school they have open right now is the one in trenton ohio. they might be opening richfield back up but you might want to call and make sure just to be safe.

 

well thats good that they are going to have one up there it had been closed for a while now. good luck with your school

 

I officially completed my training today at MTI and am sitting at home for a few days, today is my anniversary and my trainer said , by all means go home and be with your wife that family comes first!

Its also this way with hometime, if you want to be home a certain day, just let your dispatcher know at least 7 days in advance of that day or days and they will get you home.

My next part of the journey will be going out with my trainer for the next 5-8 weeks, Bill at the hamilton ohio school said that yes richfield is open for buisness. I dont know exactly how classes run in richfield but i can answer any questions about the basics. The 3 weeks go by very quick and are intense but fun, just go with the attitude that you will succeed , sit in the front , take notes and of course kick butt!

I am extremly happy with my decision so far and feel as i have gone with a great company or as Bill Smith would say " theres first class and theres no class, welcome to first class gentlemen!"

Its like everything in life , you get out of it what you put into it- I know the miles are there if you want them and if you hit dispatch they will run you until you cry mercy. Many of the drivers i talked to in streator, cartersville, eden and trenton all say the same. I have seen the yards and they are all buzzing with activity, same with the glass houses and the breweries. There is a LOT to learn so stay motivated and keep trying those backing manuevers over and over and over, they will get easier!

 

Hello everyone.. I'm wanting some info on how millis training program. How long is the program, requirements, etc.. Also whats there main running area, fuel stops, type of trucks, hiring area?? Thinks everyone..

 

There school is 3 weeks then 3 days of orientation and then go with your trainer for 5 to 8 weeks. we run mainly east of the Missisippi river wit runs out to Texas. We fuel at the ta and pilot as well as our terminals. Our trucks are 06,08,09 and 2010 kenworth t2000s and 07 kenworth t600s. We also have some freightliner cascadias and columbias. The columbias are the regional trucks as well as some t660s they just bought. Our hiring area is pretty much the same as our running areas.
