    Translation... he doesn't need to prove anything on the internet. He's above that! whatever!

    I would love to hear some of the situations you talk about. Hmmmm, I guess we will never know.

    I can't vouch for all on here but I know I give the good with the bad, ask several who have PM'd me about regional.

    Oh and I met you once. I had to walk away from you after you interrupted me at least 10 times in the first 5 minutes. Just rude, and obviously thought you knew everything. Not really a surprise you quit.

    So what's the deal guys? Mellonhs states a couple of things that are uncharacteristic of what I've been reading about Millis.

    He got a truck with around 3/4 of a million miles on it?????? How can that be?
    One post he says he ran 3k miles in his second week, and then he says guys aren't running hard??

    What's with that?

    The problem here is the source. He's not a team player. Ask anyone who's had to deal with him. Not to mention he contradicts himself as you pointed out.

    My truck is a regional truck, is 4 years old, only runs Monday thru Friday (sometimes half a Saturday), and has almost 540,000 miles on it. Do the math! I've put 70,000 miles on it since December. Tell me I don't run hard!

    The company advertises 3 year and newer trucks and for the most part that is true. They keep regional trucks a little longer. But 2010 and 2011 trucks IIRC were turned back in because of engine problems do until those are all replaced in the truck life cycle they will have some older trucks in the inventory. In other threads you will read about new drivers going straight to T700s. T700s have only been in production for what? Two years? And new CDL holders are already getting them.

    So let's see what else he didn't like about the company?

    Thanks LB. A decent truck is very important to me. We spend alot of time together. That and the comradarie among the Millis drivers were key in my decision to come aboard. Their drivers are a notch above in my opinion.

    This was the only negative thread I saw.
