Letter from Millis

finished my 3wks friday then finished orientation today. i will hook up with trainer either this weekend or next week. i am going to make it through my 5wks then get into my own truck. i have talked to about 60 drivers in a span of 3wks and if i'm lying i'm dying, i haven't heard not ONE negative response about MILLIS and the way they treat their drivers. everyone i talked to (100&#37 said i made the right choice. with that kind of percentage everyone can't be wrong...

 

wats up kenkenni? we didn't do allot of pre-trip, maybe two times the whole 3wks. if you already have your cdl's the instructor isn't that concerned, if you don't he will ask you to make sure you know your pre-trip in your STATE cdl book before you actually go to the dmv to get your cdl. good luck with your classes man...

 

Hey everybody,
I'm starting April 5th at the Richfield school and can't wait. Anybody know if you get to choose your model truck after your training period and do they really have the refregerators in them? Im hoping to get a T600. I drove back a penske moving truck last week from Homestead Fl to Lombard IL and seen plenty of Millis trucks on 75 in Georgia. Saw a couple of T660's that looked sharp

 

the older t2000s and the t600s have a electric cooler that does a good job of keeping stuff cold. the new t2000s and the t660s have the real refrigerators in them. as far as choosing your truck no you usually just have to take what ever is available when you are ready to go on your own

 

Spanky, Did you choose the per diem pay or non per diem pay? Im still confused a lil on that. I heard you report less on your w2 so if you try and buy something they might turn you down. Im looking at buying a house in the next 3 yrs so IdK wat is best? any help is appreciated

 

I have been looking at Millis as well, and all of the reports I am seeing are good. One question whose answer may cause me to make a phone call or save me from making one: do they run teams?

Thanks in advance.

Stay safe out there.

Jim

 

cory85 i am on the straight pay as for which will be better for you i am not sure but do know if you take per deim it will show as you make less money on w2 if that helps you any.

 

oo buckshot millis does not run teams for the most part they are not set up for it as most of our runs are around 600 to a 1000 miles. they did have one or two husband wife teams at one time but i am not sure if they are still now. some of the trainers trucks get dispatched as team trucks but that is only in the last week or 2 of training after you have gotten your license already.
