Millis vs. Roehl ????? Advice PLEASE!!!

Good luck to both of you. Keep us posted on how things are going for you. I will be doing night classes in July for my CDL and then I hope to catch on with Watkins / Shephard. If not there then I will be applying at Millis. They were # 3 on my list. Schneider is # 2. Have a great evening.

 

I'd go with millis... I drove for roehl for a little over a year... If u want no miles and 250$ checks goto roehl then.... Most of millis freight is beer and it's drop hook... Millis has wayyyyyyy better trucks too

 

The only students millis hires is from there own school. You have to have at least 1 yr of OTR experience or go to there school to get on with them.

I called to find out if they were hiring out of my area and thats what the recruiter told me.

I cant comment on Millis,but I found Roehl to be a decent company.

 

That's the trick finding a company that seems to fit you the best. Actually it's not until you become a driver for that company do you find out 100% if you made the right decision. Good luck to you and remember no matter who you go with you will experience days where you will be frustrated with the company.

 

Good luck in your journey. Just remember to go in with an open mind. Take everything you hear with a grain of salt. Everybody has their own opinion and as you go through the training process you will gather your own opinion that you will be able to share with others. Keep us posted as to how things are going for you. This was one of my choices before I found another company I want to hire on with. Take care and happy training.

 

The only issue with Millis is will be stuck in the NE/SE - I like what they offer but really want to get out west also if possible. They only run from the Mississippi river east. And if freight gets slow - you cant haul anything else - where as with reefer you can do both.

 

Let me know how the call goes!
