Millis Transfer, Inc. - Black River Falls, Wi.?

my significant other works for Millis. He lives in Michigan but i live in Oklahoma. He wants his home time to be here does anyone know if that will cause a problem? i contacted a recruiter about it but she was very hateful and said oklahoma was not a hiring area and didnt even listen to the question that i asked her. thanks so much

 

it just depends on what part of oklahoma you live in. i had a buddy of mine over here that lived in virginia and bought some land out there and they would let him take his hometime out there every once in a while. when he finally sold his place in virginia and moved there they offered him regional out of texas but he would have to leave the truck in ft worth and drive his vehicle back and forth for hometime he just quit and went to work somewhere else hope this help you

 

yes it did help. thank u very much. i actually live outside of tulsa. which of course is close to many interstates. he is still on the probation period right now and has to go where they send him. that makes me feel alot better. i would drive to ft. worth in a heartbeat to pick him up

 

Well, after thinking long and hard about doing school versus getting a cdl on my own, I applied and was accepted to Millis school. I couldnt get in the November 10 school in georgia so I am scheduled for December 8. I was told that if someone dropped out or cancelled before the November school was started that I would be sent then. I want to thank the people on this forum for helping me make my decision. I was going to just get the CDL on my own. I can drive a truck. I drove grain trucks years ago on our farm but after reading the post here, I knew that driving was only part of the job. I know very little about logging, trip planning, dealing with shippers and receivers or dispatchers. This is what I hope to learn in school. Thanks again for your help.

 

HoundDog55, keep us posted on how it goes. I plan on going to Millis in Jan. Good luck and stay safe...

 

I'm scheduled for millis jan 12th in ohio. i hear it's a great company to work for. any input about where they run most? east/n.east/s.east/west?

 

when i was training there mostly ran east of mississippi river with very few runs west but that was 3 years ago and nice thing they don't carry chains so any runs west go the southern route I10 to I 5 ect

 

I recently applied with Millis. How long does it take for them to process the application and get back to you?

 

I am 46 years old male and looking for a career change, I drove a truck 10 years ago and now I would like to get back in it. I no longer have my cdl and from what I have been told I will have to go to a driving school. I am looking at,,, Millis, Central refrigerated, CR England and Prime inc. Can anyone help me out here on witch one is the best in the long run?

 

thats easy....Millis!
