I actually stayed longer than I had planned because I enjoyed working for them even for awhile after the buyout. The really deal breaking changes didn't come until after I was gone or were "in progress" when I left. I think Dave's meltdown about idling and fuel consumption happened right about the time that I left.

I've had a pretty serious health crisis arise and if I run out of FMLA, I may have to find a new job once the doctor lets me go back to work. Ugh I hope not because I fkn like where I work.

The fuel bonus seem kind of backwards to me. Your bonus was reduced by idling less. I idled less by turning the engine off every chance I got to offset letting it idle when I wanted to run the AC during the day. They're saying how the auto stop is so bad on cars, I wonder what it does to diesels?

Me too. I anticipated working for Millis to be an introduction to trucking and that's what it was.

They were a great company to get into the industry and learn about it, got all conditions of driving with them. I would have stayed past my initial two years had I not been volun-told a camera was going in my truck when they first rolled out.
