Millis OTR journal

You must be a magnet for interesting drivers.

 

Had a trailer 2 weeks ago where it looked like someone opened up a door and shot into the front of the trailer. Perfect circle in the plywood and a hole punched through the metal.

 

That's not good, hope you took pictures of that.

 

Is Millis making you guys cross the picket line down in Fort Worth?

 

Has anyone been having problems logging into EFS Card Control? I definitely need help with this. My pin isn't working and of course, office is closed for the weekend. I tried to reset it but it won't even give me this option. So I thought to come here before having a meltdown! =(

 

So my HS friend's son who went to school with PAM Transport because Millis didn't like a gap that was in his employment... He just sent me the picture of a BOL where he picked up from Miller in Albany. I had already read somewhere that there was a lot less Millis trailers in there and a lot more of theirs.

 

im guessing the person who did it didn’t hate trailers or millis. Just some doofus who was bored.

 

Yeah we don’t pull anywhere near the amount of loads out of there anymore. I think overall our beer loads are down. I think some of our customers found a cheaper option several months ago. But we are getting back into some of them. Smuckers is starting to pick up. But who knows the rest of the heartland companies now have dropped trailers at all of our customers. We could be pulling just as many but spread out between the 4 companies.

 

I liked that terminal, always slept well there and didn't have to worry about parking. I wonder where that happened, all the extra security Heartland wanted didn't help if it happened in one of their yards

 

For those of you that enjoy Mexican or Tex-Mex food don't even bother with the new burrito that's on the menu at the Petro. Most "white people" tasting burrito I've ever had. Then they showed me who came up with the entire new Tex-Mex menu and she's like the whitest white girl that ever whited. You mean to tell me a Petro couldn't find a Mexican to help them out with this? Sheesh. It's $16 too.
