    Ok I am sure it is on here somewhere but I haven't found it. Can you once you go solo take your truck on home time with you ? Do you get very meny loads going through missouri ( south east Missouri ) ? Will they take you in the school if you already have a class b cdl, but no class a ? Thank you all and keep the post coming very helpful.

    not sure on MO better call and find out. taking the truck home depends on DH Miles whether or not it makes sense to the company.

    I have a few more questions about Millis. School is 6 weeks long then you get your own truck ? Also do they give you a bus ticket to school ? While you are at school do you pay for your own room or is it included ? Thank you all for your help I think Millis is my number one company as of now so any info would help

    School is 3 weeks and 3 days long, then you go out with a trainer for 5-8 weeks. Not sure on the bus ticket. They pay for the hotel but you repay it after you get out on your own.

    Thank you db2681 so you go about 12 weeks ? For the 5-8 weeks do you still get paid a weekly rate or is it then by the mile ? Is that with no hometime ? Also do you guys have a lot of unloading yourself ? Again thank you all.

    tiger when you get into a trainer truck you get paid $500 a week for the first 3 weeks then $550 the next 2 and if you have to go longer its $600. for home time you go when your trainer goes. but i have heard of times when the trainer does not live close to the student so the student stays in the truck. I am not sure on the unloading but i think it is like 90% no touch.

    and yes Millis has ezpass and prepass and they pay the tolls.
     
    tiger 4 Thanks this.
