    My year is up and the second half of school debt is forgiven, doors will open, and I will seek my game and fortune elsewhere

    Best of luck to ya. Good thing is Millis will usually let you pick where you left off if you come back in like 6 months. I know back when I went through orientation there were like 3 rehires, and have run into several on the road that wish they had never left. There is definitely no company out there that is perfect for every one.

    Another year or two and I will probably look for something more local. Have a Walgreens DC close to the house and I hear their drivers are well taken care of.

    As long as there is a customer they can get you a load to close to the house they would probably just let you take it home.

    I live in Lexington, KY which is 112 miles from the closest terminal (Trenton, OH) and have always deadheaded home from there. Rarely do I take a load home but it has happened.

    Baritone, where do you usually pick up when you come back out?

    Normally back to Trenton from the house but have been sent to Louisville, Cincy and even Southern KY to grab a load but that's rare.

    I was wondering because they wouldn't let me take the truck from Cartersvile to Chattanooga because they load back out of Atlanta and didn't want to spend the money on fuel. Since they let you do it, it must just be me...like I thought.
