Millis OTR journal

For one, it's old and it's been inactive. It's been sitting in a barn for 3 years. Everything rubber will need replaced. Belts, hoses, air supply lines, suspension bags, brake chambers are nasty looking, that hillbilly rear frame extension can't really handle a semi 5th wheel, the axles aren't decently specced for weight.... it's a long list. He bought a great Facebook pic. That's pretty much it.

 

The Rooney curse is real, man. All he had to do was play ball and wait. Players who stick around get treated well. The ones who don't, more often than not, don't get great offers elsewhere. Owners respect the Rooneys and the decisions they make. If they pass or cut, typically other teams do as well. Not everyone, of course. But ask the Browns and Todd Haley how that "amazing" pickup worked out.

 

It appeared to be. I will fully admit ignorance on the frame. I didn't crawl under it. But it's a piece of garbage and it needs a ton of money to get it rolling in a legit manner. I'm not real happy that this guy moved in next to us. Kinda done with his hillbilly mentality. Said it before in previous posts... redneck=cool, hillbilly=ignorant. Nary the twain shall meet.

 

I tried on several occasions to lock him down on vacation time so I could plan my home time around his. Never got a heads up. But I'm not completely convinced that he was truly happy with me even though I ran my tail off for him. All good though. Other than my unintentional life on 77, the runs and customers are good. Done with the construction and heavy loads. But dam sure happy with the schedule and $$$

 

Any chance one of y'all are in 8119? Never seen a Millis truck in reserved parking except mine. Definetely not while I was still with them. But this truck is parked next to mine.
