Another Millis Experience

At least you got to drop.....I have to deliver so here I sit till Monday. Oh Fun.......Did I mention it's 108 FRIGGIN degrees here!

 

108? that's miserable temps for sure. Was me, I think I would find a hotel with a nice ac room and pool. Hey, got to treat yourself once and awhile.

 

I wish there was one close -I'd be there for sure!

 

I surely hope your AC is running and keeping you cool in that kind of heat??

 

Yes it is.....I hate to have to idle this much but nothing I can really do. It's just too dang hot!

 

Bear thx for that tip about the trailer brakes. The last thing I want is someone else finding a discrepancy that I should have caught. Greg mentioned this in our training class last week that these things may happen at times. I will be sure to do my per-trip, enroute, AND my post trip inspections on all the equipment. I'm all about making it easier on all. This is a team effort and I will pull my share of the load buddy...

So how much of an investment is it on an inverter?

 

I hear ya Man - I'm in Waco and it's 7pm and still 113 outside. I did my reset and I hate to say it - but my truck idled the entire time except when I went inside to use the restroom. I hate doing that - but no way I can rest in this kind of heat.

The fridg I have has a small freezer section but I can get about 4 hamburger patties and about 4 chicken breasts in there. I also have some breakfast sausage in there so if you pack it right - you can fit alot in there.

You should have known not to do the T/A food - it's never good. I went against my norm and ate at Denny's tonight. But I eat off the "light menu" so had chicken breasts and stemmed veggies.......much better than what I had expected.

Let me know when you get your inverter. I can show you how to stem veggies, make pasta and many other things in the microwave - and their good too!

Let me know where you go from Eden - maybe we can meet up in WI later this week. Im headed to West Allis from TX.

Be safe!

 

2 ways you can go - (MIllis has to install it no matter which option you choose)

1. Buy if from Millis and have them install it. You get the cables needed and a 1750 watt inverter. It's payroll deducted as you want. Runs with installation about 525.00. Took me about 90 days to pay it off. If I ever leave - it's mine to take with me.

2. Buy one yourself and Millis will install it. Usually cheeper in initial cost but once you add the cables and labor to install - it's about the same.

I couldnt imagine not having one. One meal a day at a t/s will cost you a minimum of $12.00. Most (me included) need to eat more than once per day so it really adds up.

I hit Kroger or Walmart - spend about 100 bucks and can eat well for at least 2 weeks. Sometimes longer. I only eat out about 2 times a week at best. Good thing is there is either one close to just about all our terminals. And you'll learn where they are on the road also!
