    Dang it - sat for 11 hrs yesterday in Niagrara Falls and once I got loaded couldnt move. Ran to Lake Station today since traffic in Chicago was a mess. Will hit Rich-yard in the morning and drop. Sure hope I get something back out of there to round out the week.

    Hope everyone has a great Easter! Dont think the Easter Bunny will find me in a truck stop. Oh well!

    I'm following your trail Dave. Sitting at Rock-Tenn waiting to get unloaded, then on to Niagra Falls to get a load to drop in Richfield. I won't be in there until Monday tho.

    As a new Millis driver, your videos are excellent. I know how I want to think about setting up my truck once I get through training. Keep up the great work.

    Sitting Knoxville tonight and heading to Chester VA tomorrow for a Monday delivery. Been a bad week - sitting waiting for a load and then having to stop for 8 hrs for a trailer to be repaired and inspected. Then to have the recap blow apart 4 hrs down the road.

    I am approaching my 1 year and have really thought about being a trainer. Have about 20 years experience in training and development but never in a situation that could involve injury or damage to someone or something. So really weighing this out in my mind.

    Got about 30 days to decide - any thoughts from you guys about this? What do you think?

    just going off how you come across on here and in your videos, i think you would make a good trainer. You seem to be a people person, a quility that allot of trainers do not have.

    I dont know how millis does their training, but if they team with the student, you might wanna consider that aspect of it too. Thats the only downside that bothers me with training.

    Thanks AT - I have thought about that also. I love my time and the ability to do what I want when I want. But I know if I become a trainer - I dont have to have a student every 5 weeks. I can take some time in between which would help me.

    Appreciate the comments and coming from you - I value them greatly!
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.
