    Where you planning on going to school? And when?

    And also whether you go regional or OTR should be your choice. Not told which 1 you are doing.

    As for your situation, there is noway I'd drive 4.5hrs home and then 4.5hrs back every weekend. Doing that you arent going to have much actual time off if you are regional. You just drove 10hrs and now have to drive 4.5hrs home, and then on Mondays when you come back your going to drive 4.5hrs back to Richfield and then put in a possible 14hr day on top of that. No chance I'd do that every weekend. Now if you're OTR and run for 2 weeks then go home for 4-5 days that would be more manageable, but every weekend seems pretty unsafe to me.

    Agreed. The only good thing I found about being at Eden was the leaving it part.

    Naomi told me since they don’t hire out of there I’d have to leave the truck in Richfield or park it in Detroit at my expense at a safe place.
    I thought I did have a choice but she said I’d be regional only going to Ohio, Illinois, Indiana Home every weekend.
    I wanted OTR for a while for the experience.
    I’m going to the April 30th class in Trenton.
    I might try and find a home closer,
    This is a year out from now.
    I thought it was odd about l regional but maybe since they don’t hire out of UP may have something to do with it.
    Indeed a lot of decisions.
    I agree with all your guys responses
    Thanks again

    Coming off home time is hell. For me anyway. Back in the groove today as I’m sitting here at Midway Tstop just outside Columbia MO. Left Cville about 0700 and stopped in Ina to fuel up. Love me a 650 mile day,, just right. I ain’t too wore out at the end of the day, catch my 10 and let’s roll.
    William told me this load had to be in Shelby by mid nite tomorrow night. Okay boss, it’ll be there by lunch, preplan please? William and I mess with each other.
    I swear newbies, folks inquiring and new students, you ain’t gonna wrong with Millis. No, I ain’t no fanboy but I don’t look a gift horse in the mouth either. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Final sum = 0.

    Coming up on my 1 year anniversary with Millis. For me, I ain’t going nowhere. Staying with Millis.
