    September 19 I start my journey with Millis at the Eden, North Carolina school. I check in at the hotel tommorow. I'm not nervous or it hasn't hit me just yet. I'm just glad to finally make it to the point where I start class and get my foot in the door. I've read,I've studied, I've reached out to people picked their minds and I'm thankful for all the wonderful insight. Well here goes nothing

    You're about to be tested on patience and your ability to deal with stupid people... I feel sorry for people getting in the trucking industry today because they never understand how good it was back in the 80s / 90s.... the laws that we have now or just unbelievably ridiculous... just remember this.... there are more bad companies out there than there are good ones.... I wish you the best of luck and be safe

    Good luck i was looking at Millis but a few things like starting at .31 a mile is low and i read you have to pay $500 down when you get there for the cdl school. I'm looking at Roehl they pay you $500 a week for training and start at .35 dry van and .36 refer. .35 a mile isn't too much better but a difference of at least $4,000 a year and that's not chump change.
