    For sure Whitey! Come bang on my door if you see my truck.I'm in 7077.

    I left out this morn (monday) at 0130. Got a reset in. Sitting in Itasca, IL getting unloaded. Pulled a brand new trailer with super singles. A little bit of a different ride with them. Listening to the radio on the way up I hear unstable, bad weather everywhere. You guys and gals be safe out there.

    Remind me to show you the video I took this morning.

    Truck pulling doubles hit the bridge embankment on front of me. Truck burst into flames - the driver didn't make it out.

    seems like accidents like this happen to often, very sad.

    i also witnessed a truck get in an accident yesterday here in wisconsin, we got a pretty bad storm yesterday (tornadoes/big hail and rain) anyways a car either wasn't paying attention but some how he or she started drifting over into the other lane and clipped the rear wheels of a semi and ended up getting ran over. the car was pretty much just crushed, looked like half the car was ripped off.

    Was there a fatality? You have GOT to be aware of what's going on around you at all times. Accidents are going to happen but there are a lot of craziness out there now a days.

    Hello Millis drivers. Just wanted to introduce myself and say that I really enjoy reading your posts and daily adventures out there on the road. I am currently active duty Navy stationed in Maryland but will be retiring in October after 25 great years. I've always wanted to drive big trucks since I was a kid and have been doing tons of research on different companies. I am from Chattanooga and was kinda set on going with US Xpress or Crete but after stumbling across Baritone's videos on YouTube and reading how much all of you seem to enjoy working for this company, I am dead set on working for Millis. Hopefully everything will work out the way I planned and that will become a reality soon. Thanks again for the great posts and I look forward to reading them every day and sorry for the long post but I couldn't resist saying hi any longer. Be careful out there everyone. My prayers go out for that driver and his/her family.
