Miller Truck Lines

Let me give you what I have on Miller. Been with them now 4 yrs going into my 5th in the van/reefer division started at .38cpm STILL at .38CPM
No layover, No break down, And if you should happen to get them to say you will get either/or make sure you have them send it across the q-comm cause they have a really really short memory and they can't remember how much they said they would pay you.
Currently you earn 2 days off for every 10 out, don't expect to stay out for 30 days and get 6 days off, they cap it at 4 days off and they WILL try to bully you into only 3 days off.
3 divisions Van/reefer, tanker (hot and pneumatic), and flatbed
As stated before van/reefer company drivers started at .38cpm. Tanker pays on percentage sorry don't know what it is. Flatbed pay .40cpm plus tarp pay.
One week vacation after 1st year 2 week after 2nd year BUT save your anniversary pay cause they do not pay Vacation pay.
No pay from OKC to Tulsa that's a freebie for them. They were paying a flat rate for loads from Tulsa to DFW and back to Tulsa even if it included going through OKC but that has stopped.
They will ask you to lie to a customer when you have alerted them well in advance that you are going to be late, rather than re-power the load or re-schedule the appointment.
They are on e-logs including O/O due to poor safety rating which is going up now. Fuel all fuel including on the yard must be logged and must match.
True they run alot of older equipment but they do buy new as well (I am in my second new truck.) they got rid of their 08/09 trucks they were lemons
They do not have condo's except for maybe one or two and those I believe are O/O
They are supposed to be getting about 50 new reefer trailers, since I have been with them they have bought new flat beds twice sorry don't know the number
True if you want to get work done on your truck take it to Stroud, Tulsa terminal gives preference to flatbed division.
They are putting APU's (used) on most of the company trucks also The new trucks are getting Waeco mini frigs.
True you will pay for at fault accidents, tickets, over weight etc. etc. usually only $50 a pay period but it could be more just depends on the situation.
They do have lease purchase but only on the older equipment.
They will tell you that they do not have dedicated runs (Yes they do but guess you have to do the right people OPPS meant know the right people)
They are currently requesting every one does a 150 mile/3 hr tire check that they want logged.
They have pre-pass and OK pikepass.
They have finally gotten away from scheduling delivery appointment during your 10 hr DOT break.
They are offering a recruiting bonus $1500 They are getting ready to start fuel bonuses
The grape vine has it that there are some big changes coming in the new year 2014, but I've heard that every since I started. and it may be the fuel bonus
As with ALL trucking companies they have their good points and their bad points. In my own opinion the biggest problem at and with Miller is lack of communication.
You will be told in orientation to CYA. I have gotten to the point that no matter how big or how small the situation that is exactly what I do!
If I talk to them on the phone I will back it up with a message across the q-comm so that they can not say I did not tell them this or that.
As well I will also make sure that what ever they told me I confirm across the q-comm so they can not say we didn't say that.
You be your own judge!

 

watch out they are working with champion and they are the lowest of the low miller was a good company but now you have to rethink it be where champion will take miller down

 

Awesome company. Tanker, refer, dry van, flatbed, oversize. Great mileage pay, or owner operator rates. Might want to wait for Obama to get out of office, but this is a great company.
