Is millis transfer still a good company too work for

That's true Millis will teach you well.

Only problems are: Millis reports every tiny thing on your daq report and they have cameras microphones on you all day.

They say they can't see you live and that the camera/mic only comes on during a critical event which is all an absolute lie. They can monitor you live as long as they want, and yes they turn the camera / mic on when you're off duty too.

 

If you understood anything about that camera sysyem, which you obviously don't, you wouldn't keep telling the lie that they can live stream whenever they want. It takes an absolute ton of Internet bandwidth to do that, which these trucks don't have, and the cost of which would make the alleged savings on insurance the cameras are supposed to provide be in the negative. Now, I'm sure they can activate the thirty second or minute loop (whatever it is now) remotely and view that specific video, but it still has to be sent to the DriveCam servers.

 

Ok, I have to admit, I am getting a bit nervous about all of this. I know this is a good opportunity for myself and my family. My wife and I are on the same page and she has supported and even encouraged me to do this (I am hoping to complete grad school and get my teacher's certificate and be a special educator without going in debt). My in-laws, on the other hand .... well ... 2 of them in particular, are giving me pure hell over this. It is NOT my MIL, she is supportive too. Her husband, my step-father in law, has been supportive as well. It is my FIL and my SIL that feel as though I am "abandoning my family" (which I am not doing, of course .. what do they think .. that every trucker on the road is abandoning their families as opposed to earning a living to support their family?). It is driving me nuts. I have been told by my wife to "just ignore them" (easier said than done). how do y'all cope with this? Just wondering.

 

It takes time to adjust but nothing you can't accomplish....just have to get that understanding in the beginning and everything else falls into place....at least with my situation but everybody's different.

 

How long have you been driving?

 

Trucking... 0 yrs ... I did have a class C, worked for a private transit company that contracted out to municipalities to run their ADA service as a driver, and supervisor...did that for many yrs. I was thinking of doing otr, so I started looking into different companies to see which one's would be a good fit, and check out ones that offered schooling...still trying to figure out which would be a better option...private or company training...
