What are their running lanes and hiring lanes?I like in the northeast and noticed the closes terminal was elizabeth PA & thats 9 hrs away. Do the let you take truck home?

How busy are they out of their Elizabeth, PA terminal ? What is the hometime like ? What can you tell us about their training programme, and the duration thereof ? Thanks.

Miller runs two company terminals in Arkansas, N little Rock Ar,and eldorado Ar. the rest of the terminals are owner operator terminals. We run central regional and east from there.
Miller has no training program to teach you to drive, the training that you get is on the safe use of the tanks and products we haul.

Thanks for your response. I guess that I should have clarified what I meant by training.....I was referring more to how much time one has to spend with a trainer learning about procedures, rather than getting trained how to drive. I currently haul pneumatic trailers anyway, loaded with sand, cement and flyash.

Since your company has only 2 company-run terminals, with the rest being run by o/ops, does that mean that if one were to work out of the Elizabeth, PA terminal, one would be working for an o/o, and not the company ? Thanks once again.

Gray... ALL of Miller's terminals are "Company" run terminals. I am out of the Beaumont TX terminal. It is a 100% Owner Operator terminal, yet the manager, the dispatcher, the mechanic and the tank-washman, are all employees of Miller. None of those people own trucks. Same is true for the Channelview terminal (Houston).
At West Elizabeth PA (Niro WV is the home terminal) you would either work for a "Fleet" O/O, or Miller will finance a truck for you. One thing you need to understand about that last... You would be financing a truck through Miller..not leasing a truck from them. Once you have finance paperwork signed for purchasing a truck, then you sign paperwork leasing that truck to Miller as an Owner Operator. You would have a specific number of payments, which are deducted from the weekly settlement. For someone with no credit history..or poor credit, it might be a good deal. However, if you have halfway decent credit, you can outside finance a truck, with half the monthly payment and interest, and be money ahead. When you buy a truck, you either have to be willing to work your butt off to make your payments, or you are going to lose that butt, fast, if you want to sit at home. I have seen many guy's lose their butt, because they wanted to sit at home 3 days a week.

Now Wonderman listed Little Rock and El Dorado AR as company terminals, which they are. Both of those terminals employ company drivers. However, they are only 2 terminals that he listed. The other Miller terminals that employ company drivers goes like this, Lansing IL (Chicago), Saint Louis MO, Memphis TN, Hattiesburg MS, Morrow GA (Atlanta), Mobile AL, Savannah GA, and Greensboro NC. All of those terminals have company drivers. They also have Owner Operator's based at them.

Many thanks for the clarification, Stan....I really appreciate your detailed response. Even though I was looking at Miller as an option, I guess I'll now have to strike it off my list, atleast temporarily, 'cos there's absolutely no way that I'm prepared to be an o/o for atleast another 2-3 years, if at all. Maybe, in the future, if they change their policy, and recruit company drivers for their West Elizabeth terminal, I will most certainly send in an application, if I don't feel too happy with my employer ( whoever that may be ) at that point.

Once again, thanks, and Merry Christmas !!
