What kind of equipment does Millis run?

Yeah mostly Kenworth. I know some of the guys will chime in with other answers but mostly Kenworths. The new ones are the T-700s very nice looking trucks in my opinion.

 

The over the road trucks are mainly kenworth t660's, t2000's, t700's, t600's, and than they also have some freightliner cascadias. The regional trucks are either freightliner columbias or kenworth t660's.

 

To add to what spanky stated, the company is currently issuing T700 to their more experienced drivers. You will more than likely be given a T600/T660 as a new operator. I got my first truck issued today, a T600. She's a little worn but she sure is clean. Your experiences will vary. I'm also a Regional driver living in Illinois, so there's no rhyme or reason as to what they issue. Rest assured though, you wont be getting a new T700. lol

 

@ ricrey
Did you train with a regional trainer?

 

No I went out with an OTR guy, not sure if they have just regional trainers anymore.

 

ricey where do you run for regional? what is your miles like? what kind of home time do you get?

 

I live in Illinois, on I-74 near exit 222. I will be running as far as they let me as long as I can get home consistantly. Supposedly home on weekends, haven't experienced that yet, will see next weekend. I'm sitting at home now, got a load going to Missouri for Monday morning 0600. Second stop in Quincy IL, open appointment. I will leave out Sunday so I can have my 10 in and sitting at the dock before 0600, ready to run when unloaded. One thing to remember, always try to get your 10 hour break in before your delivery, not after you deliver. You will maximize your miles and use your availability to your benifit. This is just my opinion! You will find out what works for you. Be Safe!

 

They must do regional different up there. T600 is too heavy for regional down here. We haul 49-50,000 beer loads all week long down here.

There are still a few regional trainers, but they will not allow any new trainers to run regional. The ones we still have were grandfathered in when they made the policy change and it was because of the heavier trucks needed to train.
