Millis Regional?

whats millis home time if you live in the milwaukee area, I am starting class with them in may in richfield any good feed back would be great

 

If u get on regional u will be home every weekend. If u go OTR the hometime policy is 1.5 days for every 7 out...up to 4.5 after 21 days out. Living in Milwaukee u will probly get many "freebies" by the house, a night or so here or there, sometimes a 34 hr restart, but not necessarily on a consistent basis. (unless u schedule hometime with ur dispatcher). Good luck in school and we will see u out here!!

 

Do you 'bank' home time? If your out 21 days, and only want 2 days to get a few things done... What happens to the other 2.5 days? If you can bank it... How many days are you allowed to keep on the books? Do you ever lose them?

 

Is this question for regional or OTR? On either you don't really bank time off. Its not accrued like vacation or personal time off like with other businesses. You take is as you request/ earn it. On OTR you have a max of 4 days they want you to take off with out going on vacation. On regional you get the weekends unless you elect to work weekends, depending on freight. They also understand you may need extra days here and there to take of business. They seem to be pretty cool about time off so if you need more than normal just ask for it. Obviously if you are taking advantage of the time off policies it will cause problems. I look at it like this, if the truck is sitting neither me nor the company is making money so if I request time off (extra time off since i am home weekends) it's either because I need it or have something planned for those days.

 

I was asking for OTR. Although I have no idea what its like to live in a truck, I don't like sitting still. Unless I have a good reason like the grandkids birthdays and such. So I didn't know if you could just build up time for big events and take a week off at that time. Guess I'll find out what its like soon enough...

Thanks for the answer =)

 

I stay out for 6 weeks plus and I take 7 days at home

 

Thanks Mojo, i'm hoping I can do that. Having never been in a truck, we'll see lol

 

Any guys here on the Texas regional fleet? If so how is it?

 

Is it very hard to get in the OH regional and about how many miles do they get a wk on average?
