Millis OTR journal

Whoever thought it would be cool to make so much freight due on Monday morning needs their ### kicked. That's all.

 

I believe its the 1st of the month following your 60 days. So if you hire on July 15th for example.. benefits would start October 1st

 

Why? You want to hold #### longer? Majority of places are closed on Sundays so it only makes sense that lots of stuff gets delivered Monday mornings...

 

Sounds right. I came back near the end of February and benefits started May 1st

 

You would guarantee that bonus CPM would go with those miles. Never know what will happen next week.

Are you on straight pay or per diem? I do not know the mileage cut offs for bonus CPM for per diem but staight pay gets an extra .01 per mile if you hit 3k or higher.

 

That’s cool. Sounds like you’ve been a bad boy.
I ain’t got nuttin to say ‘cept I’m lookin around Middle GA for a large car ride. Don’t get me wrong, I love Millis and the opportunity they gave me but I’m gettin kinda tired of swinging doors and bumping docks docks. Even if it kills my old fat white arse, I want to go back to skateboarding. Dirty ole nasty flat bedders. I miss those loads where you have to be creative as hell to secure the load. We’ll see.

 

Well what sucks is parking starts filling up early on Sundays as everyone gets to where they need to be. It's frustrating, especially when you're somewhere where there's already not enough truck parking.

I swear I think you could put a 100 spot truck stop on every single exit on 81 in Pennsylvania and they'd all be overflowing by 1800 on Sundays.

 

You are right about that.

 

I think that dispatch is either retarded, mad at me, or both. First if all I probably should've refused this load due to lack of hours. But technically I had enough hours to run it. But *just* enough. I had 59 minutes left in my 70 when I got to the final, and I made sure dispatch knew this. So I get a preplan. Preplan is something like an hour and 10 minutes away. i ask "Is this preloaded so that I can get it in the a.m.?". "It's a hot load I will find a different load for you.". I mean seriously wtf? This is the kind of crap that elogs was supposed to prevent.

So I ask you guys... Should I have refused the load out here?

 

Also finding parking in New Jersey is so much fun. I'm 35 minutes in the red on my 70 after finally finding a place to park.
