    hey bigpete
    you still out with norm or you in your own truck now?
    my trainer was just telling me about norm aka grandpa last night
    he has same dispatcher as norm has and we run hard as i know you did with norm
    my trainers name is vaughn and he is also making this a very pleasant experience for me and we are having a good time running from place to place
    my trainer just last night was showing me the monthly print out that millis puts in the terminals every month and pointed out norms truck number to me
    of course was runnning the hardest but we arent far behind those numbers
    sure beats sitting :biggrin_25525:

    New student driver going through MTI down here in Cartersville, GA. Have talked to several drivers and can't find any one with negative comments about the company. Can anyone suggest a good driver trainer to try and request? I have been around trucking all my life. Just need some help with double clutching and downshifting and possibly backing...we haven't done the backing on the course so not quite sure how good or bad I may be with it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
     
    BIGG PHILL Thanks this.

    Check out the Millis thread in the DAC section. Ask Baritone who his trainer was. He just finished their training a couple weeks ago.

    Good luck to ya.

    millis has a good training corse but some of the trainers will use you and make you do all the driving and when you run your 11 hrs thy will have you run there hours to , when you get on your owen you can do a lot better on making money thay are good about getting you home when you ask but thy will have you back out there after 1 maybe 2 days at home just be aware of what thy say it is not what it all seems to be after a few mo.on your owen you will see. good luck to all you new drivers out there

    Fixer have you ever worked for Millis? Your info shows you as a "WannaBe". How can you say they suck if you've never driven?
