Millis chat room

Well i reported it and it was my fault. Mark said to make sure to get out and look more often when backing in the dark. Which i should have done but my attention was on trying not to hit the trailers i was backing between. I honestly thought i had enough room. So he said goal more often and have a nice weekend.

My new dash cam at work. Funny thing is nothing has happened in front of me since I got it!

 

Which brand dash cam is that and how easy are they to install? Another question I have is I just passed my 35th day and I am just waiting on a road test now. If their are multiple trucks there will they let me choose? I don't care what I get (preferrably not a 660 but ill take one.) But I. Am just hoping for a truck that a non smoker had before me is all. I would love to have a T700 but that's wishful thinking.

 

got this one on amazon for less than $25. Worth every penny for the insurance since I have had several 4 wheelers try to wreck me on purpose around Atlanta. Easy to set up. I recommend at least a 4 GB card and don't use the night mode, it glares off the windshield at night.

Sometimes they give you a choice sometimes they don't. Most trucks are detailed after someone gets out of them and you could Never tell if the previous driver was a smoker or not. I have noticed alot of t2000 in Trenton and some 660 in Richfield. If there is a 660 and a t700 both empty at the same terminal you will get the 660 almost every time. With that said it is kinda the luck of the draw. I know guys who have gotten brand new 700's with practically no miles on them. I was given a 660 at first with 292000 miles but was only in it for like 2 1/2 weeks and then got a t700 with 90000 miles. There really is no method. Just depends on what's open at the terminal you test out at.

 

I don't think theres is any set time to get someone home unless you put in for it. Weekend home means min. 34hr reset
I'm home anywhere between early fri. morning and early sat. morning, All depends on where I'm at on a thursday.
It's really predictable by what I'm running on Wensday I can figure approx when I'll be home.
Last night I left w/allis with mondays load, I had 2 hrs left of drive time and its about 2 hrs to park my truck, But being fri. rush hour driving thru Chicago I had a choice of parking it for the night or going for it, Went for it and made it with 5 min left.

 

before a purchase a xm reciever does the newer trucks have radios that already have recievers in the factory radio?

 

monticello is pretty tight huh L.B. lol.


about getting home on regional. I just got home about 15 minutes ago and its 10 pm on saturday lol. but I'm on SE regional so maybe a little different. It just depends on what those last couple loads are

 

That's a good thing!

Thought about getting one of those myself. I have almost been clipped in the front several times by these dumb ### four wheelers texting.

 

I am getting a dash cam after today. I was coming up on a slow moving truck. I turned my turn signal on, checked mirrors, waited 5 or so seconds, checked mirrors again, there was a car approx 300 feet back, as I merge the car floors it and d amn near gets beside my trailer. I get back into my original lane to prevent an accident. Then the car driver flips me off and motions for me to go ahead and get over, so I did. THEN what does he do? Cuts the truck off I am passing right before I prepare to merge back over and floors it again, then cuts me off and slams on his brakes... With his previous actions I had already been slowing down because I had a feeling he was going to do something stupid. No hard braking events, no accidents, but man I was furious.
