Nov.10 class

hey this is flatfootville i am in the nov 24 class.i seen ur post and wondering how it is going for u? u gettin any miles?how is ur trainer?well have a good turkey day.

 

I saw where their pay for new drivers #.34 cent? But must go through thier school. Wonder what that deal is.

 

HoundDog55, I'm not a "current driver" yet I'm waiting on my trainer to come off of vacation. But to answer your question about the slow down....My class instructor in Trenton told us the other day that Millis is completely paid through the 2009 year. That means all taxes and permits, all fuel contracts with distributors, and equipment on the road. So as of right now things are looking good for the Millis Family and there employees. Just in the past month, from Nov to Dec they have put 58 new trucks on the road with drivers for them. Now to the big carriers like Swift and Schneider, thats not much....but to Millis they only have 816 trucks, so 58 in one month was a huge step. There goal is to have 1100 trucks on the road by 2011. As for the miles per week and freight to move.....everyone here tells me its up to you. If you want to run, they will run you. If you want to sit at the house every week, well you can sit at the house and lose money. Take that for what it is. I'm not making any promises, but telling you all that has been told to me by not only the instructors, but also the drivers that came throught the yard.

 

Millis will only hire students that go through their school, or have at least 1 year experience OTR driving. They do have a .34 pm pay scale. Its base on HHG mileage and straight pay. They also allow you to chose the Practical Route Mileage along with straight pay or per-diem pay. Its all explained on there web pageIf you have any other questions, drop me a line and I'll do my best to answer them for ya. I'm not a recruiter, just a student waiting on my trainer.
