?'s about Millis

Millis has 250 + tractors,new drivers trucks are turned down to 62, company vets are @66mph .Turned down saves Millis 21,000.00 per week in fuel costs. I work for Millis.I know.

 

Does anyone know any details about the Millis Meal Card specifically if it will affect what you can claim as per diem when claiming your taxes at the end of the year?

 

I can sleep well for $32 and when you pull 100000lbs+ down the back roads that funny lookin slopey hood aint doing a lick for fuel mileage might as well look good

 

62 mph for new drivers 66 mph fleet wide

 

That was a 2.5 year old post, valid at the time.

I've heard that Millis hires new graduates only from their school, is that right?

 

Yes, you must go to their school.

From owning my own trucks.. I understand where alot of companies are coming from and why they have thier rules on idling and governed speed..Cause too many abuse it if they dont enforce it.. It just sucks for those who do respect the fact it cost money to keep it hammered on the floor or idling all night..

 

Correct you are! I idle when I'm uncomfortable from the heat or humidity. I can't sleep other wise, thus makes for an unsafe driver. Unfortunately as you said 1 or 2 bad apples spoil it for everybody sometimes.

 

If money is paramount, Is there a reason non of the brand new T-700 I've seen have had Apu's. Does the extra pounds of freight compensate for the idle %. Would be interesting to see the numbers.
