OTR with Millis Trainer

Thanks David, yeah, I took my map and GPS as well, I'm marking all the P/U and delivery stops on my GPS as favorites to give me a little help when I get out on my own.

Everything is good so far I guess, shifting this new truck is a far cry from those training freightliners, man everything is so close. The throw on this shifter is half of what the Freightliners were. Also had an issue splitting after 4th instead of 5th in the Kenworth. Once I figured out what I was doing, thing got alot smoooooother. lol

 

Nah, I drug them out first day, I have nothing to hide. I'm using them for my benefit, I would feel funny screwing around with his GPS. Besides he's all good with it, good guy so far, lots of stories.

 

Whew.....Alot has happened since my last visit lol. I'm currently sitting in the Days Inn, Middletown once again. I had an issue with my trainer and ask to be taken off his truck. I wont go into details about what transpired but I didn't feel I was going to gain the right (read correct) skills to obtain my CDL while out with him.

I am writing this only as a testiment to current and future students, Don't be afraid to bring attention to improper practices. Millis went above and beyond to find me a new trainer today and get me the training I expected. Another trainer named Chris, Ellen in BRF and of course, Bill in Trenton, made sure I was taken care of. Many thanks to all!!

After all, "This is Millis Transfer, we're the best, not like the rest", don't know where I heard that. lol Be Safe everyone!!

 

Exactly what I do, when I walk into the shipper/receiver, I want to be as prepared as possible to answer anything that may come up.

And he didn't even tuck me in at night! What's with these trainers these days?
