Yeah. I aways try to stay at a TS for personal facilities, that fresh hot cup of coffee in the morning, and seeing trucks and people. (I find it more interesting than staring at a warehouse)

In my experience, driving dry van, loading and unloading is typically pretty quick. It was rare that I was tied up at S/R for more than and hour or so.

With elog, does my 14 open up by just moving the truck because the sun is beaming in the window? That would bloooow.

 

You can move the truck without starting your elog. I have ran from a shipper to a t/s a mile or two away and never went on the drive line.

 

The quotes where to show i was using the term drivers loosely. It to represent the j/o's that throw trash on the ground, dont shower, or they use the sinks as baths, and throw pee bottles on the ground. I have no problem with actual professionals. As far as where i go when i stay at a shipper i use there facilities if i can, i walk to a gas station, or i hold it. I can say i have had only one issue with an unprofessional millis driver. Only use i have for truckstops is to use the showers, fuel, and park when i have to.

 

Like slim said you can go a decent distance befofe it takes u to the drive line, it may also switch you xepending on speed im not sure.

 

Elogs won't put you on the drive line till you exceed 25 mph or 2.5 miles.

 

Sitting at the Super 8 by the Nashville Airport, turbo blew up going up the hill on 65 north getting out of nashville. Got towed to KW and now I play the waiting game. Couldn't get weekend night dispatch to answer the phone the 4 times I called to get a express code for the hotel, so went ahead and paid for it. Anyone empty in Nashville tomorrow there is a load of glass going to PA, 700 mile run am sure its gonna get pulled off me since its suppose to dlv tomorrow before 1430.

Limited gonna have to do 10 and not 1 sec longer and hope i get far enough on 9 hrs tomorrow to where i can get going after midnite tomorrow and make it the rest of the way by 9 am

 

New turbo installed, $7000 in tow,labor,parts. All warranty. Made it to pa picked up tile going to menards in plano. Chilling on the indiana toll road as boom goes the new turbo.

 

Hello,

New to the forum, researching trucking. Great info and seems realistic with both positive and negative. Was hoping someone could give me a heads up on if Millis will consider a newbie at age 61? I was trying to be retired but losing my company paid retirement health insurance, they want $1000 a month to continue coverage for my wife and myself.

Previous job was airline pilot but that job is very difficult to restart in, initial pay is very low and field is very training intensive because each aircraft requires separate training at over 10k per aircraft.

Thanks,

Archie

 

I dont see why not just call them
