    On second thought, it might be CVS that does the physicals. I get the two mixed up regularly, since every intersection in Georgia that has a Walgreens on one corner has a CVS on the other.

    Generally I would say East of the Mississippi, however as far as I know not every state East of it. From what I've read it's mostly WI, IN, TN, KY, OH, GA, AL, PA, NY and TX, but I think that's mostly short run. I don't guarantee any of this, but I think I'm fairly close.

    Your friend that drives for Millis should be able to give you accurate information on that and other things.

    Someone pretty accurately said once that if you had map and you drew a triangle from Wisconsin to Georgia, then from Georgia to New York, and then back to Wisconsin, that's the majority of Millis' running area. In three years with Millis, I've been through every state east of the Mississippi River except Vermont and Michigan, I've been down to Texas a few times (we have a terminal there just south of Fort Worth), Colorado twice, and to California just once.

    I would also recommend reading thru 2 threads started by Steelersjunkie Titled "Millis Transfer training school" and "On the road with Millis". There is a lot of great info from him and others in those.

    I would link them here directly but I'm to technologically challenged (stupid) to do so.

    Yep, read those threads, and am now, onto this thread...
     
  9. I have also been watching the YouTube videos posted by Steve Neil
     
    SHOJim Thanks this.
  10. The reason(s) I was asking here is because I think I am pestering my friend who currently drives with Millis (and I think he is just being polite lol). Don't get me wrong, he has been very informative and straight forward. I have just been asking him a bazillion questions.

    The reason I was asking about the States that Millis operates in, is because I have family and friends scattered throughout the country. A large number of my close friends are in the DC tri-State area (MD, DC, VA). I also have family in New York (Brooklyn, Long Island). I also have very close friends that recently moved near Flint, Michigan. He recently graduated with his PhD and secured a permanent job there. He and his wife are expecting their first child and I just thought it would be neat if I could eventually be dispatched near where they live and see them and their little one, even if for an hour or two. I was told that Millis will work with drivers in regards to things like this.

    You've received good info in the previous posts. I have been to the following states with Millis

    NY
    MA
    CT
    MD
    PA
    OH
    IN
    IL
    IA
    WI
    MN
    MO
    KY
    TN
    AR
    AL
    GA
    FL
    SC
    NC
    VA
    W VA
    Just outside of Washington, DC

    Stopping for a visit is very dependent on several factors, many out of your or the company's control. I would not rule it out but also would not count on it. Can pretty much take your home time anywhere Millis generally runs. Some places would be easier than others.
