Millis OTR journal

I got a pair of those from the shop recently and I hadn't put them on yet. Put them on while they were unloading me this morning because the old ones had pretty much wiped their last wipe. We'll see how they do.

I tried cranking the heat all the way up and putting on the defroster. This seemed to help some but even with the window down we would have had a cooked Gremlin if I'd done that for very long.

In other news, I hope none of y'all are heading to Owens in Lexington. We're already lined up back to the tracks. This is the first time I've ever had to wait for a load here or to even live load at all.

 

Yea, I’ve been hard pressed to find any bad reviews. That’s a good thing. When I do see something bad when most reviews are good, I gotta assume they were either and axxhole or lazy, possibly both. lol

 

That's how it's always been for me when I go to Owens in Waco. There'll be 6 or 7 dropped Millis trailers down at that one end of the plant but my load will still be in the warehouse.

 

Yeah the sour grapes posts are pretty easy to detect...because they are usually made by somebody with like 3 posts and they all smell like...sour grapes.

I am probably not going to stay with Millis forever, because for whatever reason I have a hankering to eventually haul plastic pellets in bulk tanks. But unless they really do something to tick me off between now and when I leave, I will still send people to them to start a truck driving career if that's what they want to do.

 

I try not to complain much, but 5 hours and still haven't been given a door. I've driven a total of 84.5 miles today. Ballin', lemme tell ya.

 

After 6 hours they finally called me and gave me a door. I've been on the door for about an hour and a half and I haven't even felt them put the dock plate down yet.
