My Millis Experience -

Absolutely - I'm always up for a good cup of coffee! Im in TN for a Monday delivery so might get lucky and go south from there. We'll see!

 

Dude- I parked right next to you. Looked everywhere for you but couldnt find you. Went down to the ice cream place and when I got back "Poof" you were gone.

I was there getting my inverter installed. Shop was awesome. Found a couple other things that needed to be repaired and did an great job getting me rolling again!

I'll hunt you down soon I am sure!

 

Welcome aboard - I'm loving it here and thus far every issue I have had has been delt with immediately and completely. Not to say there wont be some that falls through - but so far I know I made the right choice.

 

Welcome to the T600 group.....we're a "close nit" bunch....LOL! Not much room is there!

 

Hey - text me when with your truck number. 859-285-7797 Congrats!!!!

 

WOW - what a week or two it's been.

Running hard - was running small loads for a while (400 to 500 or so miles each) then did the Buffalo to Atlanta load then picked up in Cartersville with a 3 stop load. First stop in Peru IL and then two in WI. Then grabbed a short run from Waukauna WI to Black River Falls. Met another Millis driver while waiting to load - great guy and since we were delayed 3 hours since their system was down was able to share and gain so great tips. We both had the same loads and ran them to Black River Falls.

While in Black River I got my inverter installed (YAY) not to mention some new brake chambers and a new mirror. Too bad the microwave I had with me is 5 years old and maxes out the inverter so will have to hit up WalMart and get a smaller/newer one. The B.R shop is awesome. Was also able get some laundry down and met Dan Millis to top it off.

Grabbed a load from Black River going to Meridan CT and made that deliver on time. Then got a load from CT to Kingston Springs TN for a Monday Deliver. Picked this load up about 1pm on Friday. Thought - cool can run a good while Friday - get ahead of schedule and run by the house and make the delivery on Monday morning......NOPE! Hit a 3 hr back up on 95 South before the GW Bridge.

After sitting for 2 hrs I kept hearing short ways around the back up and kept thinking I should try that and get rolling if I can. WHAT A DUMB ### I AM! I tried the "get around" and ended up going right through the Bronx. Not to mention I was scared to death that I would get hit or hit something - It was like driving in the Phillipines all over again. I mean #### - why would you even attempt that.

Well - I made it through no scratches or no one injured. Learned a very valuable lesson along the way. But did get some great pics of Yankee Stadium and a few other "choice" Bronx sites. But the moral to this story is this............STAY ON THE PATH SET FOR YOU!

After finalling getting through the Bronx and getting across the GW Bridge - thought things would be better - NOPE. Hit dead stop traffic around Newark - all the bypasses were clogged also - then hit it again in the southern part of Jersey - I had had enough and burned up all my time so stopped in Bloomsburg NJ for the night.

This morning got up early and ran about 580 miles to exit 36 on 81 and parked for the night. Only have about 280 miles for tomorrow and dont deliver until 9am on Monday.

Great lessons learned - met another great Millis employee and got a microwave that I cant use. But still loving every minute of it.

Sure beats the stress of "Corporate America" anyday!

Oh yea - "The Turtle" got some bling bling this week also.
