Another Millis Experience

Mine did the exact same thing after install. However when I was in trenton a few weeks later and a lot of cussing cause I could get it too work - they changed the battery connections and havent have a problem since.

Just saying..........

 

That's good to know. Seems like maybe not being hooked up in the battery series then and maybe only to one battery. Maybe I lucked out and the two sets of cables forced them to hook it up correctly. Kinda makes sense but a shame that they aren't getting it right the first time.

 

Bought it at Pilot 2k watt $189. Can't remember name brand but they only sell two brands. Mine is yellow.

 

I wish I had done that too - I fell for the "Jedi Mind Trick" of "you have to purchase them from Millis". Cost me over 500 installed.

Im such a sucker!

 

You be safe and watch out for the crazy 4-wheelers pulling boats that are twice as big as the 4-wheeler.

 

So, all, I've read the thread and wonder these questions:

** Is Millis a "good" place to start a trucking career? I didn't read too much whining and sniveling as there is on other forums, so it must be.
** There seem to be many trips east of the big river. Does Willis go very far west? I live in Western Michigan and have grandkids in Oklahoma, so those things are important to me.
** If I was your brother, would you recommend Willis as my starter company as opposed to one of the mega-carriers like Swift or Stevens and all their opportunities?

Thanks for reading and your answers.

 

Welcome to the thread - (it's Bear's thread but thought I would reach out to you)

It's Millis - not Willis(lol) common mistake people make when the see the logo.

We run mostly east of the "big river" as you call it. Some Texas but not as much as the eastern part of the US. Not sure how living in MI would work for them as we dont take a lot there but do have some going that way. Recruiting could answer that better than I.

Hope that helps and let us know if you have any other questions.

 

Thanks, Baritone. I made the spelling correction--I do know the proper name but somehow misspelled it anyway. One of my direct reports here in MI has a friend that drives for Millis and that is how I made the initial contact. I wrote them an email so I'll see what they say.

I promise to pay closer attention in the future since the teacher DOES take off for spelling!
