Millis OTR journal

I haven't missed traIler tails, especially on windy days like today.

 

Which one of y'all is parked over here in my secret spot in Quincy, WV?

 

By the looks of it Quincy itself is a secret.

 

Lol

 

Not me, I haven't been to WV for over a year. I couldn't tell you where Quincy was either

 

Whoever it was, was in a Millis truck. I think it was 1745. Quincy is over on the other side of the river if you take the Chelyan exit off the Turnpike.

 

Trainers were told the other day we will going further west starting in a month or two. Since I don’t drive as a team wonder if I’m included in that scenario. For those of you who left, the past couple of months you can really see more heartlandization of Millis. Resistance has been futile we will be assimilated.

 

It wouldn’t shock me by the end of the year if they start renaming the trucks for ‘24…taking millis off the doors and putting heartland on them….I’ve seen millis trailers in heartland’s denver terminal as well as cfi trls there lately…

 

I remember talking to guys right after the buyout (or "merger" as Dave called it. It's a merger, y'all!") and the general consensus was that it would remain Millis even if by name only until all of the Millises retired. I know Jeff retired so that leaves Dave and Dan. Once they're gone, ya'll will be assimilated into Heartland.

It's really sneaky how they've been doing it. It's just been little things over time, but it's been one little thing after another. Kind of dirty and dishonest if you ask me. But that's trucking. The entire industry is shark-infested waters.

 

I remember looking down there as I went by thinking there might be truck parking there but not driving down there to find out. It looked like you needed to know where you were going first, and I didn't.
