It makes sense, thanks. I've often wondered why back up lights aren't standard on trailers, it seems like such a common sense thing to do. We're taught to use the four ways when backing, some trucks have beepers for backing, why not have lights on the trailers like we do in cars, vans, pickup trucks and semis?

Like $45, but you can stick it about anywhere and it’s bright to see to back into the dark spots.Still undecided Thanks this. -
What kind of miles you averaging?
How was the training?
I have an offer to start with them next month (along with another company) and curious. Thanks for whatever insight you can provide.Robilade Thanks this. -
My gosh, I gotta get use to this platform. I'm so sorry for the late response but I made my year and still with the company. So far, I love Millis still. Not looking elsewhere unless I happened to need to for personal reason but not because of the company. Company has the best training hands down for sure. I would always recommend if anyone ever decide to join or come aboard. The trainer you get with will determine your future as a trucker unless you're like me, very sure and certain that this is for you. With this mindset, you will forever keep your mind and eyes sharp. Trust your instincts and have great judgment. Regardless if you feel that you have, always check yourself. Take care of yourself out here and take care of your "home" your truck. Pre/Post trip.
During the spring/summer, I was getting over 2600-3000 miles a week and Winter, you have your slow weeks but they tend to look out for you as long as you do your job and you're available for work. Whatever you decide to do, stay doing your research to see what's better for you at the particular time. Hopefully, wherever you go, they treat you well!MIT Thanks this. -
GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES!
Robilade Thanks this. -
Yayye!!! And yes! I realized after driving this long, I love driving and traveling. It's nothing like getting it done and knowing that you did it. I tend to take pride in any and everything I do with doors opened for great advice/ suggestions especially from the OGs out here. You're right about complacency. I always remind myself not to get too complacent. This is a different ball game and world that I just unlocked a year ago and I know that if I took that step for greater opportunities, I need to stay mentally and physically prepared.snowlauncher Thanks this.
