Millis OTR journal

Delivering to the secret Area 51 location. My favorite.

 

Sounds like a blast. Already hoping I don’t see it. Lol

 

No, but the few times I ended up having to deliver to a building that didn't show up on Google Maps it was always an adventure. Kind of like getting a root canal without Novocaine.

For me it was John Deere loads going to places where the couple from American Gothic were standing on the side of the road wagging a craggy finger at you as you idled by taking up both lanes of the road and one shoulder trying to make it around a turn designed for what you had in the trailer, not the trailer itself.

 

Or the good ol Land of Lakes loads that literally get delivered to a fn farm! Had 1 in Ohio last week...to leave we had to blind side around corner out onto the country road lol

 

Got to say millis is a great company

 

The burleson training was pretty good

 

Well I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone on here for all the input they put into this forum. You guys are amazing. The professionalism is amazing. Answering all the new guys questions as open and candid as possible. I have come up with some questions for you guys and I do a little reading on here and find my answer. And the way the trolls are handled are great. Just because you have driven on three continents dose not mean you are a shoe in here. I been to five continents my self and the only drivers who can handle them self's like drivers here are the Europeans. Sorry I digress.

As one or two of you may remember that back in February I was set to start with Millis the first of March. Then there was a wedding thing come up for my step-daughter. I asked and as given a new start date. Today is the wedding and I'm 8 days away from starting something NEW. So excited. It's not every day you get an email from recruiting stating you just got a pay raise before you even started. And everyday I read this forum it makes me more excited about getting into a tractor. I am coming from aviation so loading and unload engines and dealing with the drivers is always great. Even for the new guy who has never chained down a jet engine before. They are always willing to learn(even though dispatch told them to chain it differently).

Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do everyday. MOVING AMERICA!. That's what makes us great is people like you guys doing what you do. Thank you! I can't wait to get started and hope I can catch you guys on the road or in the terminals.

Be Safe out there, fair weather and gear up.....
