Millis OTR journal

Yes, about half of what I've done lately has been like that.

 

I delivered to a crowded place this week that took a lot of concentration, and realized after I was done that the guy in the straight truck with the back up beeper going off was trying to get me to hurry up. It didn't work though.

It doesn't bother me much anymore, I eventually get there and have noticed others having the same struggles I do.

 

Yeah now I see someone having a hard time backing into a spot at a truck stop or a customer, I genuinely feel their pain and frustration because I remember what it's like. To be honest, I hope I never forget because I don't want to be one of these "Hahahahahaha look at this dumb rookie!" kind of drivers.

 

I made a rookie mistake this week. I backed up into a spot too fast to use the bathroom and the curb ripped both mud flaps off lol. It took me 30 minutes to put them back on with the rusty bolts. Won’t do that again... I drove by Universal Studios in Orlando yesterday delivering to a Walgreens DC. That was pretty cool, I was tempted to drive the rig in there and check it out.

 

Alright which one of you guys is this?

 

Whenever I see that guy he is up in Richfield, currently I’m about 4 trucks down from skeleton guy in Cartersville.

 

I've seen a couple of Millis trucks with skeletons in them. Is this the new lug nut covers?
Some guy doing that parked next to me last week. He had his name painted on the drivers door, and Slim painted on the passenger door.

 

I've thought about getting a skeleton for my truck. But I want a life-size one like you would see in a biology lab and those are expensive.

 

I headed off to Walmart this morning for some things and as I’m heading through the parking lot, I realize my door is open and swaying like crazy. Some crackhead was hoping to get some freebies. Just bought a heavy duty lock to stop that bs.. Still my fault for not seeing it before I moved.

 

Just put the lock on the new load.
