Millis chat room

They had me running every Saturday for like six weeks and I finally said something to dispatch. He gave me the "You're not guaranteed to be home on Friday" line and I told him to check the last month. I've been home almost every Friday since. I may have to run for a few hours (to Albany and back home) but I get home most Fridays. If I am going to run weekends I might as well have a full sized truck. I didn't go regional to run weekends.

 

Thats what i was saying. I didnt switch to regional to run all weekend. I mean i appreciate the miles they were giving me but someone needs to be on the same page. i switched so i could be home on the weekends so i can fix up this house to sell. I mean i gave up like half my pay to go regional. I have a reason for doing so. But i cant mouth off to the dispatcher and i dont feel like writing Mike Millis since i am so new. I dont want to make waves. I also wish they could just call me on monday or tuesday and let me know if i have a load. The last 3 mondays i eneded up going back home. That is a 100 mile round trip that i really shouldnt have to make. the night dispatcher would call me to let me know i had a load the next day but i was thinking why cant they just do that in the first place? Oh well i should stop ########.

 

If I don't have a load with me over the weekend (which is rare unless I am taking a long weekend) I have to call Saturday or Sunday and see if they have something for Monday. Try calling them, don't rely on them calling you.

 

ok will do. i was just used to marco not wanting to be called. i have some crap to get done today since i just sold my car so i will call after that.

 

Hi Samurai

I see you live in Fairborn. I do too. What can you tell me about your experience with Millis? Do you do regional or OTR? Could I pick your brain if you have some time when you get home?

Thanks

I just applied for Millis online.. I'll keep my fingers crossed they let me aboard lol..

The way I take it, you have to have your permit and medical card already before they will take you??

Up until recently, I was working for a sawmill company driving a volvo loader loading trucks and spotting them on the yard.. I've always wanted to go OTR and maybe take along the wife on a trip or two.. ( as long as they are short ones lol)

 

jebster sure. i was otr then went to regional. message me and i will give you my cell. you can text me anytime

also is anyone sitting in trenton? how many trucks sitting there right now?

 

I don't have enough posts to pm you. Can you pm me?

 

Pretty sure I just talked to you inside the terminal here in Albany lol

 

took my dot physical today and will be starting orientation tomorrow in eden nc. so far what i've read about millis has been good but i've driving for 8 years so i dont get to excitied about new driving jobs. i live in high point nc and i was told that was good area for freight so i hope things work out. any advice on this new adventure?
