    I talked to a Millis recruiter (Alice) yesterday. Actually I had an app in and she called me to tell me I was approved.
    Either her or I was very confused. She told me 5-8 weeks with a trainer, then start getting paid at the 8th week. I told her I can't work for 5-8 weeks without pay.
    I think there was a communication breakdown.

    I'm pretty sure to go in to Millis green, you have to go through their school. They won't accept students from anywhere else except the Millis Academy. That was probably your communications breakdown and the 5 to 8 weeks ETA....:yes2557:

    Yeh you have to go through millis' school. And its 3 1/2 weeks long and you dont get paid. Then you have to go out with a trainer for 8 weeks while getting paid $500 ur first 3 weeks $550 ur 4th week and $600 all weeks after that. And your under a 1 year contract with Millis to drive for them for a year. The schooling/OTR training cost a total of $5000 and they take $20 a week out of your check to pay for it. If you make it a year you only have to pay them $2500 for the schooling and they subtract what u have been paying out of your check and they forget about the other $2500 for the OTR training. But if you quit/get fired in that first year you owe them $5000. And they dont put up with anything within that first year and will use any excuse to fire you. Ive seen it happen to ppl that were in my class and heard lots of stories. But good luck man! Oh and Millis doesnt do teams.
