Millis chat room

Well I was going to answer but I saw db beat me too it.

But to answer your question, I post tripped and fueled but that was all on duty and no violation. I was at zero when I pulled up to the fuel island and switched to on duty.

 

yeah i also was at zero and switched to on duty post trip and the #### thing wouldnt shut up. was told to send a note to safety explaining why. thats why i asked.

also db a lot of things you say come off like you are being mean but since i have been on forums for years they dont bother me because i know you cant type expressions or how things are supposed to sound. i know you mean well.

also lb i may have a couple questions for you soon. i will send you a message

 

Millis' website shows a lot of Kenworths and brags about the quality of their equipment. Now I see they have Freightliners as well. Are the Freightshakers thought to be equal to the KW's or is the company going cheap on equipment?

 

Almost all of the OTR Trucks are KWs. There are a few OTR Cascadias floating around and we just got two Volvos to test them.

I run regional and we are mostly freightliners due to weight. I haul up to 50,000 lbs in the box. We have some T660s in regional but to get them light enough they had to put tiny sleepers on them. They switched back over and started to buy Cascadias for regional.

 

One more note Black Cow, MILLIS does take excellent care of their equipment. If something is broke they fix it. Even our trailers are well taken care of with few exceptions on some older ones being phased out.

 

Mine yells at me all the time but unless you get the alarm and it says violation you are good to go.

PM me and I can shoot you my cell if you want it.

 

Obviously I have a lot to learn about the differences between truck brands. I have been hoping for a long time to get a chance to drive a Volvo. I thought KW's were beyond my reach so Millis looked extra good with all their KW's.

 

yes they have mostly KWs and they are well taken care of mines in the shop right now took it in for B service and found other issues tha would of gavr me issues shortly if not taken care of so waiting on partswas told today but maybe as late as monday b4 they get the parts

 

Thank alot DB. Directions were great. I've never went in the way the Qualcomm says but there is no way it could of been any easier.

 

Does anybody else on here use Google Latitude to share your location with friends and family while you are on the road? I have other driver friends on mine but no Millis drivers.
