    Sounds to me like you might finally have a dispatcher you can make money with. I'd call it a blessing.

    Yeah just temporary. My 4th or 5th dispatcher since Marco left has taken another job in the company. So Tom is sort of watching the board.
    Anyway this is a first. Getting live loaded at Molson in Golden, tonight. The other Millis driver here in CO seems to be doing the same thing. We had to pick up "special" trailers here at the HY. Idk what makes them special I had to sweep the glass out of mine. The other driver high hooked his trailer almost crushed his cab extenders. Once he got out of that pickle he dragged his trailer about 200 feet with his trailer brakes locked.

    Does Millis still pull Nestle/Purina freight? They are building a HUGE plant in Batavia, OH. Might be a good thing for y'all if they're still a customer.
     
    MIT Thanks this.

    Yeah we still do Purina. As for Batavia who knows? They built that giant plant in Eden and we don't haul anything out of there as far as I know.

    We still pull their freight. Some of those loads just flat out suck.

    Yeah I never cared for picking up from Zanesville. Coincidentally enough I load out of Zanesville was my very last load for Millis. I picked it up and took it to Trenton where I turned the truck in and went home.

    I didn't mind the one out of that place in Iowa that I took to Gas City a few times. That one probably sucks now since I don't think Millis does drop and hook in Gas City anymore.

    Does Millis still have trailers at DSC Logistics in University Park? I was through there a couple of weeks ago and from 57 I could not see a single Millis trailer over there but I saw some CFI trailers.

    One of my favorite loads out from home was Smuckers out of Orrville to there.
     
    Friend and JOHNQPUBLIC Thank this.

    I've been there within the last 4 months it was drop n hook. Trailers may be on the far side of the building.

    Yeah we still go to University Park. I think that's the only load we pull out of Orville now. Orville now has a bunch of heartland, CFI and Smith trailers.
