    Stewart is a great guy, funny too. He's already taught me tons in just a couple of days. Look forward to meeting you, I'm sure we'll cross paths soon enough. Be safe.

    Well, day two is in the books. Only 278 miles in today. Ended up sitting around Randolph beer distributor waiting on a load. Spent the time doing aa little studying and practiced my pretrip. Finally got a drop and hook load of beer out off Baldwinsville, NY. So we deadheaded 352 miles picked up beer at Budwieser and headed to terminal in Weedsport to spend the night. All in all a good day. Heading to Colonial Heights, Va. Ya'll be safe!

    Day 3 done. Ran from baldwinsville, ny to colonial heights, va wiith a load of beer. Got to receiver at 8pm. Had a 4am appt. Time and they took us early. Had a preplan of glass from toano that we are getting loaded right now and after that, we are off to albany, ga. 269 miles yesterday. Should end up with 400 plus miles today. Another good day

    There's another millis driver loading here as well. Super nice guy, saw I was frustrated with my backing skills, lol, he offered lots of encouragement without being judgmental or condescending (I'll get his name before we leave) . Each day makes me more confidant that I made the right choice coming to Millis. Rarely do I hear anything negative from any of the drivers I meet and they are always encouraging and willing to answer any questions.

    Just curious...anyone have any idea why it rains every time I get behind the wheel?????

    Stay safe everyone.

    Ha ha, yeah it seems we chase bad weather, wait until this winter, you'll be REALLY sick of snow. But I promise everything will get easier with time. Just take your time and don't let anyone rush you.

    Yeah, for sure not looking forward to my first snowfall, I'll be the Millis Truck going really, really slow...lol. but I'll be okay.

    Just to add to my previous post, the Millis driver I talked to while loading in Toano, Va. Is Dave. Once again, super nice guy.

    See ya'll soon!
