What all does Millis haul?

I am looking carefully at joining Millis in the future. I am only about 90 minutes from the Cartersville, GA terminal. I know they haul a ton of budweiser at Millis but I am wondering what other types of freight do you haul? Is it mostly Budweiser all over the country? Also, with the Bud do you mostly go from breweries to distribution centers? I like the idea of familiar routes and predictable freight.

I used to drive for Swift. While we hauled for big companies like Costco, Walmart etc I'd also get stuck with mom and pop places in the middle of nowhere. Does Millis have their share of these types of clients?

Thanks for any answers you can give me. Be safe out there.

 

Thanks Baritone. I've been off the road for a couple of years so I expect they will want me to go through a refresher, which I don't mind one bit. I still have my Class A CDL.

I really do like the idea of having some familiar shippers/receivers and don't mind the mom and pops but preference would be that the smaller ones be minimal. I can suck it up and take what they give me for sure.

Does Millis have open fuel cards? I hated not being able to fuel and get a shower every night when I was with Swift.

 

Thanks Spanky. That sounds awesome. Anyone else that has any thoughts or comments they want to make, I am grateful for them. Millis sounds like a good company overall. I have been watching this thread for a long time.

 

Bear, that sounds inviting. I like the idea that you can plan your own route. Did it with Swift even though you were not supposed to. Sometimes Swift would have you on dangerous state highways when you the interstate route was only a few miles more. The thought of not being micro-managed and being allowed to prove yourself trustworthy is very attractive.

What are some of your favorite things about the job driving for Millis?

 

Baritone and Sully, you two are doing a fine job of selling Millis to me. Are you sure you aren't recruiters?

Okay...what is your average miles?

What states do you see the most of?

Do they pay for scales or reimburse you?

Trip pack or log scan?

How are the shops?

Do they get you home on time?

I appreciate you guys taking the time to answer all my questions. If I have to leave my family again I want to be at a company that gives a dang about thier drivers. So far sounds like Millis is a good fit.
