Millis OTR journal

LOL, yeah I was afraid of that! What worries me the most is the 40 percent chance of rain showers forecast for tomorrow, followed by snow showers on Wednesday, which to me means you could have water on the ground turning to ice then covered by snow! No fun!!

 

Ya your biggest concen actually isnt the Rochester area, its thr 45 mile stretch from Fredonia to Buffalo buț you look clear thru there so I doubt its to bad. That area west of Buffalo is horrible with Lake Effect. Was out there last year and it was snowing 2-3inches an hr but only in that 45mile strecth. Completely clear on both ends of that stretch lol

 

Also idk how your clock is but if you make it to Rochester tomorrow they will take you early if they have time. Last 3 times I've went there I've been unloaded a day early

 

First I would like to say a BIG thank you SJ. for some very informative and entertaining posts. Then I would like to say thank you to all the folks that have been posting great information as well.
Now let me tell you a little about myself. 41 married with 3.5 adult kids. Started to drive otr in 2001 got married in 02 shortly after came off the road to be with wife and kids. The road was calling me so I went back at it in 08 and came off again in 2010 and relocated to the Virgin Islands.
Seven years later the Virgin Island got hit with 2 cat 5 hurricanes that messed it up bad. I moved my kids back to Charlotte NC. and decided now is a good of a time to go back to what I love. It is funny how when I told my coworkers I am moving back to the states they all asked if I am going back to drive truck. I was like why you asked and they said I have always talked about how much I loved it.
I started researching trucking companies looking for 1 that would do right by me and my family. That’s how I found you guys and boy am I happy I did. Millis was sounding to good to be true so I searched and searched for as many negative things I could find about Millis and found nothing that could scare me off.
November 29 I called and spoke to Peggi around 11:45 am. I asked a few questions and she asked if I filled out an application and I said no. She said well fill it out call me back and let me know when you do and we can go from there. I filled it out rite away and called back and said I did and was told yes she has it and will take a look. Around 3:00 pm Peggi called me back and said she needed some documentation from me and I sent it rite back. 3:45 pm Peggi called me and said I made her set a new record for getting someone approved and all she needed was my $100 deposit to hold my spot in Eden Starting Jan. 29th. I gave her my card # and shortly after got another call, saying I am all set.
I have to tell you guys I feel real happy about my decision to join you guys at Millis. I don’t drink but one day I hope to buy you all a beer.
Sorry for the long post but I had to say thank you.

 

I really wish you guys would quit cursing so #### much...the sn word needs a filter so I dont have to keep reading such horrible language on this site..

 

Congrats! Good luck feel free to ask any questions that pop up and we will do our best to help you.
