My Millis Transfer Experience Starting 9/19/11

Congrats Gtown on getting ur CDL....

 

Congratulations!

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday............rolled out Monday morning the 26th - grabbed my student and we havent stopped since. Has been a good week milage wise with little issues along the way.

Sitting in New Milton PA tonight as I wanted to get stopped before the crazies came out for NYE. Will roll into Fulton NY tomorrow and drop this load and hope we can get something that will get us to a terminal so my student can test out. If not - we'll keep rolling along.

Everyone be safe tonight - and let's all be ready for a huge 2012!

 

Happy New Year David, Hope your 2012 is as good as your last two!

 

Interesting reading. Glad it worked out for Gtown. Does anyone know if they have an intermediate program for 'no recient experience' students that have their CDL? If I apply; I'd be going to Cartersville as I live 30 min. away in Canton.

 

You'd have to talk to recruting on this one. I think they will want you to go through their training program if no recent experience. But dont quote me on that - give them a call and someone will be able to tell you for sure.

 

Well we made it to Fulton with no issues and got sent to Nigara Falls for a load going to Neenah WI. It didnt deliver until the 5th so dispatch told me to drop it in the Neenah yard.

Once we got to NF NY - the weather there was nasty - raining, cold and very low clouds. Made backing into the dock a real challenge. However if you just waited a little bit the wind changed and gave me about a 2 minute window to be able to see to back in.

Got loaded there very quicky (for a Holiday) I was very suprised. Ran from there too Perrysburg, OH. G-town got his first taste of winter driving and did just fine. I know he was worn out from holding that wheel so tightly due to the high winds and the snow we encountered just outside of Cleveland.

Got up early this morning and headed towards Chicago and ran back into lake effect snow in South Bend IN all the way to Gary IN then it cleared up.

Dropped our load in the Neenah lot and got "no load available today" so we are now sitting at the Moasis T/S in Little Chute WI. Met up with another driver here and the three of us bob-tailed to a nice Asian Buffet for dinner.

It's cold as crap here but at least it's not snowing. Hoping tomorrow we can get to either Rich-yard or BRF to get him tested out and his truck. Also have to get my truck into Kenworth to fix this dang antifreeze issue. Adding at least a gallon a day - it's getting old!

Hope everyone is safe and staying warm!

Oh - almost forgot. G-Town's new nickname is "Blinker"! I'll let him tell you why! LOL

 

This would be correct. If you don't have recent experience they will require you to got through MTI. Not positive on what "recent" is but I believe it is 1 year.

 

Hey just missed you up there Baritone we dropped in Neenah last night and picked up a load this morn from Greenbay converting headed to Cherokee, Al..... What are they saying is the problem with the anti-freeze my trainer's truck has been doing the same thing and definitely not fun filling with those winds up there....wind cuts right thru you
