Millis OTR journal

They advertised 3 weeks of paid vacation before I started, but that changed to 2 with the suggested pay plan.

 

Last I knew it was 3 weeks paid vacation the 1st year, when first hired if you took per diem pay.

Then year two it would drop back to 2 paid weeks until you reached the next threshold for a 3rd week again.

Straight pay has no paid vacation however is .07 more per mile on all miles over per diem. Mileage bonus for straight pay is .03 per mile extra at 2500 miles and .04 per mile extra at 3000 miles and above. No idea what the numbers and thresholds are for per diem.

 

Thst mileage bonus is that paid out weekly or is it a monthly average or hows it all work.

 

Every week that you hit it.

 

Yes 3wks vacation 1st yr if on per diem the 1st wk must be used within the 1st 6 months and can not be cashed out. The other 2 wks can be cashed out if you wish.

 

Y'all are in for a treat if you ever get to take a trailer to be turned in to KDC in Indianapolis. You get to see how beautiful 30th Street is!

RIP Millis Trailer 81640.

 

Last time I went, 30th was under construction.
One lane, that was a fun turn onto euclid

 

I bet it was. There's still some barrels out but both lanes are open. Still a fun turn. Slide your tandems all the way forward before going to this place, and enjoy the lovely neighborhood on Euclid.

The people at the trailer place are nice, though.

 

You know... I've been at this for a couple of years now and I no longer feel like my backing skills are awful. That is until I have to back into one of those skinnyass spots at a Miller brewery. Ugh.

 

30th isn't too bad, but Euclid is the cherry on the top of the sketchy cake.
