Millis OTR journal

Hey if you don't mind answering, did the Hazmat test have a lot of detailed questions about all the various the placards and what each mean? Or was it more of a general over view of the placard classes?

 

Yeah I'm sure they are full of crap. Sometimes this place (trucker's report in general) is like sitting at the counter in a Petro Iron Skillet.

 

I passed my Hazmat with my other endorsements when I took my permit test. I just never followed thru with finger prints/etc to get it. I have a yr they said.

 

I saw a guy in truck 9001 yesterday and he gave me a “tour” of the differences in the truck. In addition to dual tires it has a 12 speed Cummins engine and he said the difference in how it drives and pulls is significantly better, especially on gravely lots etc. This truck FINALLY has those awesome chairs we’ve seen in class, and let me tell you they are bad ###, I would love to have those in mine. The gear shift & Jake breaks are also now on the steering wheel column, makes the area in the middle less cluttered but took a little getting used to he said. The new Qualcomm will put you on the drive line if you go above 4mph while in Sleeper or Off duty (after fueling, lunch break etc) so that is something to deal with. The load lock holder is on the passenger side now and the hard fuel tank cover goes further back and is raised some at the end. There are a few other little cosmetic changes but nothing major.
There you go, a virtual tour of the new 2019 as best as I remember lol.

 

Hello guys.
Have a question for Millis drivers.
When or if will my wife be able to ride along with me?
Not as a team just a ride along, hoping they allow it.
Thanks guys.
