Millis Transfer Experience

Sorry for quoting you.....lol ya that was lame. Thanks i couldnt remember if it was 3 or 6 months

 

Wellllll.......looks like either April 24 or May 1st i will be attending orientation in BRF as a re hire. Going back OTR for 6-8months at least and then switch over to Regional probably. Also will probably become a trainer like original plan was in the past.

Jusr an fyi to, well anyone i guess. OTR can be hard to do with kids, family, etc but just because a job says "Regional home every weekend" doesnt mean you're going to get more time with your kids. When i was at Millis before id stay out 2.5wks and come home for 5 days Thurs-Mon then do it all over. So id get 5-6 days off at home each month depending if Opie got me home early which he tends to do. Well my current "regional home every weekend" job I've had exactly 2 full days off in the last 11 weeks. Those 2 days off I actually got home Friday didn't leave till Sun morn so had all of Sat off. Every othet week besides those 2 ive gotten home between 10am-1pm on Sat and turrned right back around left on Sun at very minute my 34 hour reset was up, and had to drive all night Sat morn just to make it home by 10am-1pm. So then gotta get laundry done, groceries bought, and any other errand that needed done before time to leave again.
So which 1 allowed for more quality time with my 2 4yr old twin boys? Pretty obvious huh, and thats why I'm coming back. Sorry for long post, but wanted give heads up to any other drivers that were in my position.

 

A shining example of why you should always do your best to leave a company, any company, on good terms.

I'm sure they are glad to have you back, good employees are ever hard to find.

What was the verdict on the training, 3 months or six?

 

Ane yes leaving on good terms is the way to go. Thought Opie was gonna jump thru phone when i called him yesterday lol. Asked him if offer still stood bout coming back whenever, and he replied "in a fn heartbeat I'll take ya back" lol. Anxious to get started bacj

I didnt ask about the training part yet. Ill mention it at orientation wasnt exactly sure thatd be a question recruiter knew off top her head. And

 

May 1 it is. Looking forward to being back. Not looking forward to 2 days of orientation especially in BRF....i always tried getting in and out of there asap and preferrably after hours lol. Hopefully get a good truck again. Truck i originally had was given to me with only 9k miles which was great.

 

@SESteve83

Any updates?

 

To many cooks sticking their fingers in your soup at the main office?

I do have to say, maybe there is some area I didn't see or just wasn't paying attention but when I was up there to talk to the recruiter I wad expecting it to be.... larger? More industrial? Not sure the proper term. Almost drove by it though because I was expecting "more" I guess.

 

Na BRF is fine, and was just a personal preference to always sneak in and out lol. Being the main terminal with all the big shots just gotta watch your p's and q's obviously. Ive never had any problems there and everyone is extremely friendly.

Ya i know exactly what you mean about the terminal. You would think beinh the home office its going to be this big glorious terminal, and then you get there and thereis barely room to park overnight, and is basically in a residential area lol. Its the smallest of all the terminals which seems odd since its the main terminal

 

You put your finger on whst I was trying to say but coyldn't. Thanks.
