My Millis Experience -

Consider it done!

 

Id call back in a couple weeks and then again in two more. Like baritone said it'll change soon. Try asking for Reid not that he's the man to get in there but it is he who keeps sending us mags saying we want more drivers. And I believe mike Millis is head of recruiting he may be able to give u a timeline and or more direct response. Best of luck.

 

Is Reid at the 800 recruiter number or in Cartersville?

Sully...really good info and we really appreciate you letting us know.

 

Sully - you make some great points. However I will say this - I am one that trys to run about 8 to 9 hrs a day everyday. I dont need a reset as often as most do and I dont miss loads from doing a reset once or twice a week. I run (on avg) 2800 too 3200 miles per week doing it this way. I'll run at night when needed and in rare situations run a split.

So if I am given a 1300 mile run and it needs to be there - I get it there on time and usually hrs before due. And yes there are many times I have to run a full 11 hrs to get it there - but it's not always the case.

Im not dissproving your threory - just sayin![/QUOTE]

Yeah but you know the guys im talking about." Appointment? Huh?" Lol!
I don't doubt for a second that you get there on time everytime.
Just sayin "who gets these loads? Without a conversation if ur a dispatcher? Don't u want to keep your guys in their comfort zone? It not like the 1300 mi ld is the only loadand there's plenty of 500mi stuff. Put yourself in the dispatchers shoes.
I definitely think though that when the freights there I will brk 4k this way. Either way I hate to sit if not with the family, can't change that.

 

800 # just tell him that u know that he may not be the guy you should be calling but u and I talked and I said he sent the messages out and may be able to help. A lot of us have been talking to people about Millis cause they asked us for help recruiting.

 

I also give kudos to BRR shop. I had service last week and gave them a full page of 81/2 X 11 paper plus 2 lines on back of stuff I wanted done to the truck most of it non critical. They did it all plus 2 items I didn't bother to write down. They are a real class act!

 

I don't know why my cell feels the need to spell check! Can't even write B R F without fighting with it. Doesn't know what to do with the spaces though! LOL!

 

I think I originally missed one of your points baritone. My two resets a week have come because I got stuck in Trenton with no beer till Monday with only having worked 34 hrs in 3 days. Not common but sucks when it happens. Same happened to me in Albany once. My point was simply I can work 70 hrs in 5 days why take 8. When with reset can work 92 in 8days. If freight is there that's an additional 1100 mi. Again that's just me trying to justify my time out. Certainly wouldnt mean any disrespect. I have nothing but respect for how you conduct yourself and your work ethic. Frankly wouldn't be here without you stepping up to help us all the way you have. Just trying to pay it forward for those it helps brother. In effingham by the way if anyones Rollin through. Be here till tomorrow.
