Millis OTR journal

Sad indeed, I'm surprised that's the first one out of a group this large.

 

It isn’t the first one.

 

That trailer falling off after a visual and tug test is pretty scary. I'm glad the 5th wheel on this truck has troubles releasing, not staying closed.

 

Yikes @ yesterday's edition of Dan's Darwin Awards.

Also, I was reminded why I try to do recaps. Resets away from home suck the ### of a thousand dead whales.

 

I received my second email asking me to consider returning since I left in February. When I left the first time in 2017 I didn't receive anything other than my exit survey.
My recent departure was my second time leaving which always used to be the last time you could leave. No coming back. Wonder if the policy change is because of Heartland or they are just running that short on qualified drivers.

 

I'd hate to reset away from home after recapping for this long.

 

Maybe you can drive in the warmer months and take the winters off. That would be nice.

 

I've seen some Millis things that have been rarer than a set of trailer tails that haven't started to self destruct or a trailer inspection tag that wasn't filled out with disappearing ink. First I saw the lone Millis oo, then a regional driver and finally multiple empty trailers. Who knows what I'll see next?

 

I had thought about doing that (asking) and it would be very nice.

 

I saw the OO a couple of weeks ago. First time I'd seen him in probably a year or so.

I wish Millis would open up their OO program again. I might actually buy a truck if they did. The vast majority, if not all of my complaints about Millis would be irrelevant if I were in my own truck. Of course I'm sure being an OO leased to them would mean new complaints.
