Millis OTR journal

I know the first two. Where is Scary? I don't think I've heard of that one. I love funny place nam es. There's also Uneeda, WV named after the crackers. I grew up in a town called Man, which seems to crack people up. I didn't think much of it growing up but I guess it does sound kind of odd...speaking of which, we have an Odd, WV, too. Also my high school teams were the Man High School Hillbillies. There's a town named Poca and their high school sports teams are the Poca Dots.

 

Yeah i was just thinking about that when I read that message on the QC today, because I was one of the ones that said that. Now I might have to take back what I said a couple of posts ago when I said that I probably wouldn't stay with Millis forever... because now I just might.

 

I messaged Matt in benefits and asked him bout the cost too. He told me the single plan would be staying same price, but family insurance would raise a lil but nothing outrageous but is considered the industry standard. Also the dental and vision would be same price as well.

 

I was wondering about that as well, so thanks for the clarification. Now I can go to a doctor without them going "wtf is this?" when I hand them my card.

 

Nice nice nice

 

Way off topic subject but I’m amazed at how nice my ride has been out of Orville today.
Pulled up, trailer inspected went to get my bills. 46,982,,,,, #####! This is the 2nd heaviest load I’ve had with Millis and I hit the tandems just right. I’ve heard DOT doesn’t make much fuss on steering axle as long as it’s not stupid.
Miss Emily is running like a raped ape and getting 7.8 mpg. I’m hammer down, 70 mph. BTW, the scales at Smuckers are pretty darn close to the CAT scales at Sunbury, OH.
Steer, 12,040
Drive, 33,860
Trailer, 33,300
Gross, 79,200
Full tank fuel. Wish my AB loads would work out this nice.

 

Nice!

 

Alright guys I'm on my way to Trenton with a load and then I'm going home just as soon as I get an empty. Last time I did that, there were no empties to be found in Trenton and dispatch had to have somebody give theirs up to me. Where nearby can I look for one if there's not one in the yard? The brewery most likely won't give me one.
