g22mac it all depends. one week i went almost every day. then i may not go there for months. i do see a few loads in the bins every now and then.

 

First and foremost, Samurai I hope everything is going well with yourself and family. Y'all have been in my prayers.

It's been a frustrating week for me but its getting better.

Delivered Monday to Rogo Distributors in East Hartford Connecticut. No load available, sat 24 hours. Pick up a broker load from Taunton Mass. of Pottery, and go to Meijer Distribution Center in Tipp City OH above Dayton, get there day early for appointment. They have me call and check in on their phone at 0430 for my 0900 appointment, I got out of the dock at 1630! Ridiculous but theirs gonna be days like that. I sat there finished a 34 out and picked up in Trenton, and took a load of plastic pallets to Toano VA, reload out of there to drop in Richfield WI terminal tomorrow. That will give me 2250-2400 miles for the week haven't added them up. Then I HOPE (PLEASEE) to pick something up 500-600 miles maybe more and deliver monday before midnight giving me a 3000 mile week.

Overall i'm happy. I'm a brand new driver who hasn't hit anything. I've learned alot, still don't know crap. And to top it off I averaged out all my paychecks for the 46,000 miles i've ran by myself to $791 a week bring home. I think that's pretty good being new to the industry, and some luck involved staying moving during the slow season.

Millis is the place to be if your on the edge of coming here guys.

playa thanks for the prayers. you will have weeks like that sometimes. especially with broker loads. you sound like you are doing great out there. keep it up.

Good luck with training made best choice with Millis will get best training and a company that you will have a future with a good company.

 

The hits just keep coming. Got a load out of the house to Roundys in Oconomowoc WI. Picked up trailer at Unilever and one of the trailer tires has a huge hole in it. I got the load about 7am but waited to pick it up until about 1 cause its a midnight delivery and they won't let you in until 8pm. So now I'm sitting at the TA in Troy il waiting to get it replaced. Hoping the get it done before 6 so I can still make appt.

 

and I,m sure the hole was,nt there when the trailer was dropped

 

Hi, I saw a post somewhere on here about what inverters Millis allows but can't seem to locate it...anywho, saw this one on amazon and was hoping someone could tell me if its the right inverter to buy once I get rolling. http://www.amazon.com/Cobra-CPI-157...TF8&colid=25L89SG5ZU4MV&coliid=I2Q4FLGT275HQE. Trying to price out the things I may need down the line. Thanks.

 

Can get one thru company for $450 thru payments and yes is at cost I checked. Is 1800 watt and will run anything you want. Can get cheaper but may not last as long or issues. Will install for free just have to buy cables for about $50. One they offer is Xantrex Pro model xm1800 if you want to check it out.

 

I watched a yard guy do a complete 360 the other day in North Carolina with one of our trailers and I could see the tires rippling. It's a shame how they treat the trailers
