Millis Transfer Experience

####, I was hoping Jamie was going to get us on the road and over there while you were still there so I could try to stick my head in the door and be able to put a face with the name but isn't going to happen, I'm still to busy destroying cones on the off set back to go out in public.

 

Just try taking it all in. Its alot of info, but concentrate on the actual driving. The quallcom tells you when you can start, how long you can drive, and when you must take your 30min break and stop for the day. Just remember you can drive 11hours and once you start your day doing your pretrip, you have 14 hour's to drive those 11 hours. Also from time you do your pretrip you have 8 hours to take a 30 min break. Thats not 8 driving hours either, thats 8 hours from time you logged your pretrip. It will get easier to understand it all, but main thing is the driving and backing. You'll figure out how the HOS work in time.

 

It is a lot to take in in the beginning, but it gets better the more you go thru it. just started second week in Richfield and things are starting to gel, but the first week was a lot to take in.

Keep at it, if I can figure it out anyone can.

 

Haha those poor cones, they take a beating lol. Well I may have to come to Richfield to get a truck. Im hoping not, but will know more in morning. Was just given heads up today that I may have to. Didnt expect to get done with orientation that quick, but being a re hire they were good enough to not bore me with stuff I already knew. Kinda sucks though cuz now its just hanging out in the hotel till my drug test results get back, for some reason they just won't take my word for it that my results will be clean lol. Could be tomorrow, but prob weds morn.

 

I know, thank god they don't charge for them or I'd be in indentured servitude for life!

Cool beans about maybe training after 30 days.

If you get here walk out back and say hi if you have time. I'll be the old fat almost bald guy smoking and yelling at myself

 

Well doesnt look like I'll be heading to Richfield. Getting truck 46090. Its 1 of the older 680s 10speed with 500k miles. They told me I could take it for now, and come July they are getting 125 brand new trucks that will replace the remaining manuals still in the fleet. So I'll take it for 2 months and then get a brand new truck, sounds like a good deal to me lol. Still just waiting for piss test to come back....

 

When I was in BRF last week, I saw a bunch of the 46000 series T680s sitting there, and I assumed they were getting them ready to go back to Wisconsin Kenworth to make way for the 2018 trucks.

 

Ya Scott said next month 50(i think that was the #) OTR trucks and regional trucks would be replaced and then July 125 more.

 

A new chariot in 2 months, sounds like a good deal. We are up here now actually, unplanned so soon but Jamie needed to take care of some stuff up this way. Everyone has been very nice so far.

 

And thanks for dashing my hopes at weaseling into a manual
