Millis OTR journal

Company provided hat rack? lol

 

I have nothing to tone down sorry. There was no attitude in my post. There was straight up bluntness about earning trust. 15,000 miles while with your trainer is very very little time. You can talk #### about my attitude all you want, and make negative comments about my training. I really don't care. My record speaks for itself, and until you are actually in this industry, driving a truck every single day, and see the stupid #### we see every day from 4 wheelers and from other truck drivers, you're basically ignorant on the entire situation. After 15,000 miles Im supposed to know if the guy Im training is going to text while driving? How? Im there to teach them how to drive a truck safely, backup safely, and interact with customers in a professional manner. Once he gets on his own then thats on each individual to pay attention. But all it takes is 1 fight with the woman at home, or a sick child etc and then the true test comes if he will stay focused. I sure as hell cant say after 5 very short weeks with someone what decision they will make in that situation.

 

I have never began a new job in which I wasn't on probation for an amount of time to determine if I was suited for the position. Just saying!!

 

Its a DOT rule its not Millis doing that.

 

Exactly!!! And thats after doing a lengthy interview process meeting people face to face. The hiring process in this industry is unlike any other profession. You get hired because of a work history and a background, thats it .

 

A lot of the reasoning for the cameras in addition to what keen98 and others have said is for more favorable insurance rates.

 

Thats the reason all of the stuff is there. Lower insurance for Millis equals higher pay for us.

 

I just slapped a hunk of duct tape on mine. It really is good for more than keeping the girlfriend in line.

 

I know it's DOT regulations/etc. I was just stating it will affect your time, hence your miles.

That camera is to cover Millis in case of accident/etc. Front video, or you on video.
