Full Carperting throughout and true Refrigarators instead of what people think are ones in EVERY TRUCK. Looked in one at the same time and could not believe same company. Drivers now have to provide CB's and fridges. Gone oare the power windows and locks in the 07's and other top of the line goodies ARE GONE.

The T2 I drive is nice...refridgerator,TV cabinet w/hookup,2 bunks,SBar heater,carpet,closet space,and many compartents to keep stuff
...the right side of the truck (windows) is electric.
They will install an Inverter if you wish for a microwave..($$$)
...and I have beautiful Blonde Swedish massgae girl who rides with me.

Similar to this picture I found on the web

PS:I have never had another driving job before...So I have nothing else to compare with...they are ok with me... :)

Trust me the ones in the 90's make some of the stuff on Trick my Truck look weak. Keyless Entry that only the Driver of the Truck knew the number to get into it. Also all trailers were Air Ride still and plentiful loads however were poor even then. When a driver has 5 days to go 900 miles there is something wrong with the way they are booking the freight.

Ya when i drove for millis my first truck i had keyless entry, the smart wheel, full carpeting, the full gauge package my first truck there was a 2000 t2000kw. ya from what ive heard from drivers the new trucks are extremely stripped down

so whats up with the company it sounds like I made the right move by leaving.But i am thinking about calling them since I do owe them money for school if I can work for them and pay off the loan.

Why did you bail out on them :?:

Did they do something to you :?:

I should have stuck it out but they told me I would be home every other weekend was with trainer 4 weeks had 3 more to go befor he went home. and he did his log books every 4 days was told not to fill mine out but to copy his this is not training.I got a job with BST (building systems transportation)start next week not the best driving job but I will be home every weekend and get the experience to move on

Bengalman, didn't you mention on another site that you were getting an attorney to settle your differences with Millis? Why the change? Just curious.

yes I do have an attorney he told me to wait and see if I get the bill then I have to pay him 1000 to fight them. It will not go over 1000 but what ever is left he will give back to me @150 hr.Now Im not happy with there training but if I can get like 3 months and they want to work with me I will still do the year and pay them 20. a week
