Millis OTR journal

I can't remember where I was but I recently saw a Millis truck pulling a Koch trailer and was wondering why. Now I know.

 

Anyone know how that new Performance Pay Program Millis is instituting works? I went to the website and I see the across the board raises but there is no explanation for the performance pay other than it can be "Up to" and additional .04 per mile

 

Here's a head-scratcher for you: When I was with my trainer he was talking to one of his buddies (another Millis driver) on the phone who was hooked to a JB Hunt trailer. I never got an explanation as to why, but the buddy seemed to think it was bizarre.

 

How many of you guys have had to travel on PA-28 north of Kitanning? It's beautiful country, but I hate it in a truck. Way too curvy and hilly for me.

I just took a load of glass from Atlanta to Brookville, and both the QC and the GPS wanted me to take PA-28 from Pittsburgh up to Brookville instead of going on up to I-80 and taking it east. Well, I noped right out of that and stayed on the interstate. It's only around 30 miles further, and it seems faster even though it's really not.

Well what do you know? After I sent in my empty call, my reload was in Butler. So I ended up having to travel it anyhow. In the dark and the rain. At least I was empty.

 

Maybe he was just docking it for the guy

 

I can answer the Landstar Averitt question. Averitt uses Landstar to haul some of our line haul, LandAir is our partner carrier in the northeast.

 

Unfortunately no we haven't been told yet what the performance pay is yet. Just that we were getting a .03cpm base pay rate increase and we'd be told soon what the performance pay meant. The 1st message we got bout it said "miles bonus" so it may be just an additional 1cpm to each miles threshold on per diem pay but idk yet. Whennwe find out I'll post it here.
