    Can some of you tell me about the schooling millis has. Im wanting to go somewhere and I have no experience. I really don't want just a starter company I would like to stay with who ever I go with. I looked at the millis web site all I got from that was call them. Im not ready to do that yet. Is anyone going otr or just regional. I would like to go otr. Home time not a big deal. I was looking at steven's but afraid I wouldn't pass the physical part, that it seems knocks a lot of people out. any reply would be welcome. thanks

    On the left side of the website towards the top is a little menu box. You will see "driver opportunites". Put your cursor over that and it will show another menu which will have "driving school". There it explains the school program, cost, etc..

    You will definitely get a lot of good info here, but I still suggest to call and talk to a recruiter. I spoke with Faye and Alice and both were extremely friendly and would be able to answer any questions you have. Use all the resources you can to get the info you seek.

    I spoke with a Craig and he said there was 4 in the class. I don't know if he included me in that number or not. Of course it's still a couple of weeks out so it will probably change.

    I've read a few posts stating that their class is usually 4-5 students at a time.

    Still curious about this. Is there anything to elaborate on?

    Speaking of this, any suggestions for good trainers to inquire about? Any pm's with names would be appreciated so not to be name dropping here. Thanks!

    I had an awesome trainer - I am not afraid to post his name. It's Dave Adams. I just talked to him today and he said he is to get another student in the next week or so from the Cartersville class. That's the only one I can speak of.

    They will usually try to match you up with someone that lives close to you if they can and has the same lifestyle (i.e smoking or non smoker etc.) My trainer didnt smoke and I do. He said first off it was ok for me to smoke in the truck just as long as if wasnt while we were eating. However I respected his truck and didnt smoke in it. I waiting until we stopped.

    You got a ways to go before you really worry about a OTR trainer and your instructor will ensure you are matched up.
