My Millis Experience -

Happy Turkey Day to all!
Congrats Sully72! I can't wait till that point!

Baritone, Let me know when you come through Trenton. DFW and I will probably be out practicing pre-trip this weekend. We'll be back in class Monday.

 

Baritone, Never questioned your motive for this post but it sure made a difference for me. Every time I see a CR England truck I think that poor guy, could've been me. My trk# is 7056. Look forward to shaking your hand.

 

Haha your mine now sully!!

Sits at a truck stop in hiding. Sees sully pull in. Switches cb to channel 15. Hey sweet heart I'm in truck 7056 lol. sit backs and watches lol. lol jk would never do that. I here that they are holding all the 6 series. Two weeks left.

 

Funny! Ever seen Charles Bronson in "Death Wish" LOL jk would never do that. Seriously though, Good luck in your next couple weeks.

 

Not sure if this will help you or not but here's a tip for those that don't know. If you dont plug in these trucks' engine block heater they won't start in the cold weather when sitting. Also, if its been sitting it will not warm a cold engine enough to make a difference. It will only maintain a warm engine. This means you have to plug it in when you get home, you can't plug it in the last day or two and expect it to work if the engine wasn't warm to begin with. This was tested by Randy and Bill in Trenton taking infrared temperature readings so it's a proven fact. Hope this helps.

Another tip is to run your esbar heater before you leave, after a vacation, to help warm the plastics in the cab otherwise it takes many, many miles for your cab to actually warm going down the road in these temps.

one more thing: BRRRRRRRRRR!!!! it's cold! hope they get me on some southern runs.

 

I had that truck when I first started with Millis. It was a nightmare! Was in the shop more than on the road. The thing was scared to death of hills. It would always spike the temp gauge. I was finally able to get out of it and into a T2000. Then personal problems arouse and I had to leave Millis. If things change personally I will return to Millis. Good Luck with 7056 you might need it.

 

How many miles did you drive in the last two weeks Baritone?

 

Baritone, Your son may never tell you about what happened. Been there, done that. My wives (i'm on my 3rd) don't know 1/2 of what i've done and I will never tell them. I served 20 years. You tell your son to take care. The nightmares will eventually go away
