Millis OTR journal

Get to La Crossr today go check in and give my pickup # for next load... she tells me that load hasnt been scheduled yet...uhh ok come out call Opie he gives me another load....go back inside and she proceeds to tell me that NONE of our loads have been scheduled for the day lol so I get told grab an empty and we will live load you....as I'm driving by the emptys looking for the newest one there sits trailer 17171 with its door leaning up against the ICC bar.....WTF lol. Let the shop know bout that and now waiting to be loaded still. Some days out here.....

 

WOW! That’s a double or triple whammy! I’ve never had that happen to me yet, where NO load was ready on multiple events, and man, ya gotta wonder what happened with the door and will we see it on the Millis A&C report tomorrow!

 

They had the doors open on a lot of emptys and had them parked relatively close. Im guessing someone grabbed trailer beside it and got caught on the opem door? If not that then idk. Did my part reported it never heard back from shop so who knows

 

Do you guys usually run your clock out everyday? I just sat at my delivery point for my current employer for 2.5 days. It was a waste of time. I wanna run as hard as possible but obviously will always run legal.

 

they never let u sit for 2.5 days from what I read on this page will have u run freight and not sit much as long u got the hrs to run

 

Just depends. Some days run into the 14 before my 11 others I'm able to run my 11. I will tell you you'd never sit that long here unless your out of hours and doing a 34. If you'v got hours you may have to wait every once in while for a load if you deliver somewhere in the afternoon or evening. In those cases it may be morning till you get a load. The key here to keeping moving is deliver your load if possible in the mornings and majority of time you'r going to get a load immediately. Not always but usually

 

Sitting on your butt for more than 34 hrs really sucks! I get bored real easy too so that doesn’t help. I’ve driven 300 miles since Sunday afternoon so I’m not happy!

 

Get to make a pitstop thru my house when I'm doing La Crosse to Memphis. My mom picked up my twins from school for me so I could hang out with them when I got home. 5mins from my house my mom calls amd asks where im at....uhh 5 mins away why? Cuz Kolt just hit his head off the wall and has a gash in his forehead he needs to go to ER.....UGH so I just got home from the ER and having my 5yr olds forehead glued back together......what a day lol

 

Brian76 think its time to change companies and get into Millis they will keep u humping and good pay and good hometime never heard a bad complaint from drivers not saying they do have their issues but most part they keep their drivers happy

 

I’m in the process of switching over! Starting orientation on February 12. I need a fresh start for sure.
