miles for the week

I ran into my trainer last night and had a long talk about Millis. Now he has only had 1 career his entire life(driving a truck) and only drove for one other company. He has been with Millis training over 10 years. He told me that his mile are being cut and was pushed out of training like me. He is looking for another place to work. I know the few guys on here keep saying its bad attitude or just lazy or not aggressive enough, but my trainer is hard core. By the book on everything, and balls to the wall on every load!! None of us could ever add up to his skills as a driver. So why isn't he getting miles? This is enough of the negative comments from me. I have moved on and im very happy, but I want for people to see things have changed at Millis and going to continue to with cameras, the mandatory fuel stops/routing and the sensors for progressive shifting.

 

I can relate to this well. It really does boil down to your dispatcher. They are not created equal. I switched from one who couldn't communicate, treated me like I was a hassle, and was very unpredictable with his moods. I called and requested a new dispatcher and now things are much better, especially with communication. I'm looking forward to picking up my next student and seeing how things go with my new dispatcher.

 

1704 this week but started hometime Thursday evening

 

Not so...Cartersville Sept 11th class graduated 6..theres three of us that are left...

 

What happened to the other 3? Just curious.. I start in Cartersville on June 9th.

 

Well I guess they figured out it just wasn't for them..One of them got homesick I know

 

Thereare various reasons. Most of the time, it's because they cannot safely operate the truck.
