Millis Transfer

Are there any current Millis drivers on here? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you put "Millis" into the search bat at the top of this page yet? We have had some Millis drivers in here in the past. You will find a lot of great information on Millis by doing that search. The search bar searches this site only.

Thanks Old School, I did put in Millis on search bar. Just curious if anyone is currently driving right now. Did find a good amount about them by searching.

I drive OTR for Millis. I went through their CDL school/training program. Been solo for just about a year. I have no issues with the work, equipment or the company. What would you like to know?

Hi Old Rookie, I have been accepted for Millis training in Eden NC. Already have Class A CDL but, zero experience. Went to truck driving school in 2009. So it's been 8 years. A couple of questions. How have the miles been since going solo? I read some of your posts about training. How where your instructors ? Looking at Millis and a couple of others. Thanks for your reply.

I will end this pay week with a little over 3,200 miles... last week I was around 2,600. Very seldom do I run less than 2,400 or more than 3,200... unless I'm taking some days off. I'm OTR. I could probably run a few more miles each week if I really wanted to, but I'm happy with the way my dispatcher and I work together.

If you choose to run Regional , you will likely run less than us OTR... but, you will be home 2 consecutive days each week if you wish. However, because the pay scale is different, you may end of making about the same money... if you are willing to run hard during your 5 days on duty.

Millis class size is small, so there is only one instructor per class... and only one class running at each location at a time. I attended class at Eden, but my instructor is no longer there. I thought he was fine, but I think the driver you end up doing your road training with is much more important than your class/range instructor.

The first road trainer I had "did not work for me," so I was only on his truck for 2 weeks. He was/is a great driver, a good guy, and has successfully trained a number of students before and after me. When I requested a different trainer, on a Saturday morning, Millis had me in a different truck by Monday afternoon and things progressed very smoothly. By the end of my 15,000 miles, I believe I was as ready as one can be for their first truck.

Good luck, and be safe, wherever you end up.

Thanks Old School, i appreciate it.

That's Old Rookie. Old School is a different person. You can't go wrong with a company like Millis.

Old Rookie, Glad to hear you are doing so well. I always wonder if it's you when I see a Millis truck on the road or at a truck stop.

Thanks, Big Scott. I'm a 58 year old, bald on top and bearded white guy... in a Millis truck... who doesn't look a day over, well, 58. Please say hi if you ever have the opportunity.

And I'm a 50 year old bald white guy. My truck has Big Scott on the doors. I'll keep my eyes open.
