Millis OTR journal

I hear that.

 

I've met several drivers during my time at Millis that I always saw at terminals, and always complaining about lack of miles and runs. Well sir, if I know you are a loser, it's a guarantee that your dispatcher does as well.

 

I just don't understand the resident terminal drivers. If I'm Dave Millis, or if I'm Reid, or if I'm a dispatcher, I'm shaving the fat. And I'm not going to be nice about it. Opie ran me the way I asked to be run. I don't feel like being stressed or exhausted every single day. I hit 3k maybe 3 times at Millis. But I hit 2800 or 2900 every week. I was predictable, I was reliable, and I never caused problems. At least none that I know of. There are drivers pouring into the company, man. Get rid of the tards. I don't get it. There is one guy specifically who's name I can't remember. Doesn't matter if I could because I wouldn't blow his spot up publicly. Always saw him at a terminal sitting on his butt. Always complaining. I told him a long time ago that I was going O/O at some point. He laughed and said I'd never make it out on my own. Freight is too slow, costs are too high, blah blah blah. I want to see that loser again. Go ahead and sit in the terminal and tell me Millis sucks. Millis got me where I am, and you're an idiot. If I see that dude again I'm going to drag him by his neck to my truck and rub his nose on the pretty blue star. Then knock him the f out.

 

This post makes me wish I met Mr Otis. I have a lot of stories about how I've been waylaid due to my screwups or Landstar broker/customer screwups. Man up, move on. As you stated, life is what you make it. Grow a sack and move forward. Otherwise the complaints you have are completely your fault.

 

Guess who got a Zippo for Christmas?
