Millis Transfer Question!! PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW

I know nothing of Millis but I can tell you the recruiter should be able to give you all their requirements and usually they make arrangements to get you there unless of course you are close by then drive you will be much happier. As for supplies. Bring a week worth of clothes. Toiletries for your time out, bed linens/pillow and sheets and thats about it. When you get done with school you will have to go with a trainer so keep your supplies to the minimum. Space is very limited in a truck and even more so when there is two of you in it. I would also bring plenty of cash with you for eating and drinks. If you smoke or other tobacco products bring a supply enough to last through school and a little longer if possible. Other then that ask them they may have more specific or even a list to help make sure you don't forget any of the basics.

 

Leigh, Alice will be emailing you a packet of info regarding what's necessary to bring. Gloves/flashlight/motor carriers atlas/things of that nature. There will be transportation provided (a minivan) to transport the students between the school and the motel. There is a continental breakfast at the hotel in the morning, and the van will be available for use at lunchtime and the return trip to the hotel for the evening. There are several truckstops/restaurants nearby. (McDonalds/Taco Bell/Burger King/Popeyes) You can drive your personal vehicle, there will be a place to leave it. The school is situated in one of our terminals, so there is plenty of parking (and big trucks coming and going). During the final week of school you should be assigned a trainer who will be in contact with you towards the end of school. You can leave with your trainer right out of school (if he's able to pick you up that soon) or take a few days or even a week or so to get your home affairs in order. When it's time to leave, Kujo is right, travel light, whatever u can fit on the top bunk with you. Or as I tell my students bring cash and a toothbrush...lol If you have any further questions call Alice or Jazz or Ellan at Black River Falls, they can direct you. There are plenty of Millis drivers and trainers that use this forum and check in regularily, so when you have any questions, shoot em off and someone will reply. They call me Porky, I'm one of their trainers. Good Luck and we look forward to seeing you out here!

 

The duration of training (with the trainer) is 35 days-8weeks, depending on the situation. If ur a quick study and ur trainer endorses u, it can be as soon as the 35 days, or as long as 8 weeks. Nothing is ever written in stone (ha ha ha..imagine that..in trucking??)

 

I'd take it with you for when you get on your own but I ,and your trainer should as well, strongly suggest you learn to navigate by atlas and contacting customers/ qualcomm directions first. There is nothing more frustrating than having to give some guy directions to a city because he doesn't have an atlas or just doesn't know how to use it. An atlas and a notepad should be your best friend with a gps running backup to confirm your thoughts and keep you moving.

 

i would never carry or have cash on me ,too take with me and same for the trucking school or on the truck, your going with a perfect stranger, get a debit card setup and go that route, most time you can call in too check yor balance and stuff then once you get your own truck get a cheap wall-mart lap top $234 here too check your balance
