Hey everybody! Thinking about Millis.

Hey everybody, my first post here. Well I'm 41 and sort of kicking myself for not getting my CDL like 20 years ago. I plan on getting ahold of Millis soon and talking to them about getting my CDL with them down in Cartersville, even though I live in Ohio. Hopefully that will fly with them, my Dad's house is ~10 minutes from their terminal there, how perfect would that be to just crash at his place for a few weeks.

A few years out of high school one of my best friends got his CDL and went otr, he took me out for "a week or so"... yeah right! We rolled back into town just shy of a month later! So I haven't driven but I know what I'm getting into here. No wife, no kids, no house just renting an apartment until a lease is up, then things go into storage and I stay out there. At least that's the plan, plus visiting my parents once a month or so back and forth between Pittsburgh and Cartersville, I figure that will be my "home" time.

So hi again, been reading the Millis otr thread and everything else I can find, some great info on here. And watching Trucker Josh daily lol!

 

Passed my DOT physical yesterday, got a 2 year card. Dr Marrone in Independence OH was great if anybody needs their DOT physical near Cleveland

 

Well that sounds promising lol! That may be the first negative thing I've heard about Millis. Not being able to find anyone trash talking them is why I'm going to them. That's if I can get through recruiting. Their page is a little screwy, the full application seems to be hidden behind the "benefits" tab for some reason and recruiting wasn't able to help much yesterday. It's filled out and submitted now, they told me to call them back after that was done so we'll see

 

I have a start date with Millis for July 29th in Cartersville! Working out the last month of a machine shop job now, will NOT be missing CNC plasma cutting and carrying steel parts for a living, that's for sure
