Millis OTR journal

It looked bad on the news.

 

It’s getting to that point I’m feeling paranoid. In my mind it is much easier for Millis to tell me I should quit because they don’t want me here. Compared to making me do stupid stuff on a daily basis that makes me want to quit. Dispatch is a disaster since Marco left.
This morning in Trenton. Go to customer pick up an mt and bring it back to terminal. I asked how about I just take it to brewery because naturally that is where next load is coming out of. So waste an hr of time getting mt back to terminal where I drop. Then I’m told to hook back up to it to take to brewery. WTF. Then I get a load out of brewery going to Dayton. There is another 4-5 hrs of my day. Then after that go back to terminal and pick up a load that has been sitting on yard for 2 days and get it delivered down to Columbia by 1400 the following day.

 

Sounds about right

 

Someone wrote they liked driving a truck but didn't like being a truck driver on another part of this forum and it really sums up how I felt being a driver. And I know I'm not the only one that feels this way too.
The useless stuff I did like that, along with the unpaid waiting, unpaid maintenance I did are all parts of being a driver that I just don't miss. The best parts were where I didn't have to deal with that stuff - I had what I needed to get the job done and was left alone. Especially when I was in a truck that didn't nag at me for going through construction zones, tell me to brake to avoid a collision before driving under an overpass and would idle when it was stinking hot out and the EPU was failing.

 

Find a good private fleet and you’ll have a much better experience.

 

Y'all be careful on I75 around Perry!

Everybody okay? I have never seen this thread go quiet for this long.

 

I'm good. Stuck in Kansas waiting on recap hours so I can make it to Indianapolis tomorrow.

 

I've been wondering the same thing

 

How about you MIT? I hope everything is ok on your end.
