Millis only allowed drivers to be in the drivers room. They also only allowed you to talk to your dispathcer if you had an appt. in a face to face meeting. My dispatcher never gave me good miles. One load I had 5 days to go Milwaukee to Lancaster PA and could not also stop at the house for anything. Worst thing aout them was the fact you had to ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS stay off the tollways does not matter if it was 8 in the morning when you hit chicago you butt had better be going thru it rather than around it they would never pay for anytolls. I went to work for Henderson in June of 99 first week out of the box was 4200 miles next week was 3900 miles my dispathecer at the time asked am I running you to hard I was like HELL no keep them coming.

things must have changed cause the only toll road that is forbidden without prior approval now is the skyway bridge and toll on 90 and the stretch of I-80 in OH at the I-77 exit to the line and then the Pa turnpike from the line to newstanton. as for the open door policy I personally have been in every office at Black river falls and met most of the people that work there. only been here 7 months. guess things change after they lose drivers for stupid stuff.
