    I am curious to see what you guys think of the shippers and receivers Millis deals with. Should we plan on long dreaded waits at distribution centers?

    Each are different - some are very good about getting you in and out and some are NOT! You sit sometimes waiting to get loaded/unloaded. Most of what you do is drop and hook so it's not all the time.

    Customers are usually responding to the way the driver greets them. I always greet them with a smile and be very nice. It works most of the time but some no matter how nice you are - they dont care!
     
    Loken Thanks this.

    Rolling along - sitting at 2650 right now before I grab my load out of Pontoon Beach in the morning. Running it too Streater then got another pre-plan for a load from Streater to Trenton. I can get this streater load there tomorrow - then have the Trenton load there on Monday. If all goes well - I'll end up Monday with about 3330 miles this week!

    Millis is running T600, T660, T2000 and Casadia's. I believe there is only around 10 or so owner operators anymore. We picked up a beer load out of Trenton on Friday and got some hometime. Taking this load in the early morning to Liverpool, NY. Hopefully get a good run out of there. Gonna try and schedule my CDL test this week.

    Dave. LOL you are in my trainers old truck. He got all giddy when he saw it on your youtube videos. We are in a t660 21 last 3 same as yours. Rocked out last month leading the idle time for the company at 3%. hOPE All is well, I heard you met Kirk down in Cartersville while you were doing you B service.

    The youtube vids are ones Baritone has but up. Goto page 28 of this post to get his user name and put that in the youtube search. I am enjoying Millis. Training is almost over and I am ready to hit it on my own. During my experience I have learned a lot. Met a lot of people and have a good amount of contacts if I have any questions while out on the road. A+ choice for a starter company.
