    Sounds like exact same dude. Whats funny is he must've thought i was new or stupid. When he told me he wouldn't give me the bills and after I told him what I thought bout his work ethic, I said no problem I don't need the bills I'll just have dispatch get a copy and I'll stop thru BRF before I deliver.....the look on his face was priceless lmao needless to say I got the bills and the 2pcs of wood were still in the trailer haha

    :biggrin_2559: I wish I had done that. But like I said, with the student there I decided to keep my mouth shut.

    Well, here's my followup. One gasket was torn and another one missing with the new parts. Hotel time. And back to the watering hole. Truck won't be ready until tomorrow late morning. Crimany.

    Training is going well. Ahead of schedule as I’m the only one in class.
    Straight line backing is a breeze, offset was fairly simple. Only murdered 2 cones in 30 passes.
    Blind side parallel is easier than I thought it would be. About 15 completed, went full dummy on one attempt and killed a cone.
    I will start driving and alley dock on Monday.

    Dang the only one in class? thats awesome as far as getting your practice in. I start the student program with Millis february 26. Very excited and have been following this forum for awhile. Glad to see you're all still happy with millis. Makes me feel good about the company i chose to go with.

    Why would you have to give your truck up?

    He may have a different answer but when I worked at Millis they would offer to switch you out if your truck would be down for awhile or go into a temporary truck. Happened to me once and I said no, I'll wait. I didn't want to switch trucks and they didn't make me.

    My truck was in the shop near my house and I had left it with them when I came home on home time. They found other issues which prolonged the fix.

    I can certainly identify with that though. I probably have the terminal record for how long I’ve been in mine, 11 years and 700k miles later.
