Driver that was in Winona Mn. 1-8-24 @ 9:55am, must think he owns the road. Comes to a stop at all intersections on a through st., and guessing that the driver doesn't know what turn signals are for, as they don't use them. If you see one of their semi's stay away from them as your LIFE might depend on it.
Bums they're owned by smith transport llc out of roaring Springs, pa
I went through Millis training in Cartersville. Very proud to work for them. Dispatcher is great. Always work with me on home Time. Concerned now for the future because of the Heartland buyout...but Millis's reputation is top notch.
You drive nice equipment and the people leave you alone. But you won't get good miles. They only give miles to their special drivers. Yes you will get good miles but the moon is only full sometimes.
Spent two years with Millis. Loved being there and the life they provided me. Had to move on to be home more but was one of the best companies I ever worked for.
Impossible to get a hold of. Tried calling to let them know a driver had no trailer lights. It said to call another number and when i did it just took me through 30 minutes of surveys and government questions. What a joke.
I been with this company for almost a year driving tor and i like it.(1) the trucks & trailers are VERY nice with the logo (2) they have company vehicle(3) they cook for drivers (offer school and let you go out with trainer then tests for cdl when ready(4)tell them it's not safe to drive in whether and they don't rush you (5)provide cable and satellite radio(6)good pay(7)plenty of terminals(8)I get home on time 98% if not the I get home time extended(9)alot of drop & hooks loads(10 )good communication...i can keep going
I worked for them sept 2011 to sept 2012 was a excellent uniform company and have no one to blame but my self for reason i parted with them i still think to this day was 1 of the best companys i have drove for
They really take great care of there employees fantastic company I'm glad I got the chance and many more opportunities to meet everyone can't wait to go back.
Great company to work for. Rather you looking for long haul or regional to be home every weekend they have you covered. Trucks are set up with driver comfort in mind. One of the best I have worked for.
Drivers are terrible on road. Whoever was on 65 south in Indiana on 7/28/23 at 6:40 pm (older white male, Grey hair) almost ran into us twice and held up traffic for 20 minutes by driving in the left lane next to another truck. Take his CDL away.
The truck driver with the trailer 19233 today in Lacrosse probably was not paying attention. He swerved over into our lane with 2 vehicles in front of my husband and I. Making 3 vehicle going into the middle of on coming traffic. Sir if you were paying attention you could've slowed down. Maybe if your tired call the company and let them know you'll be late so there will be no future accidents. I called a number on Google to complain but they did not sound like they will take this matter seriously. Just wanted more than 1 other person to know
Just started here and so far paychecks been around 250 last couple weeks regional.. I dont see what's so great about that.. if things don't look up by next week.. something has to change. You cant work for someone like this... when you're trying to support your family.. what are these crazy companies thinking when they employ you??? And then they wonder why they have a high turn over rate?? Is this what heartland Express does to your drivers?.
Definitely not the same company they were before Heartland took over. Threats of termination based on leaving for a family member death then no response from anyone. Top notch “family” company here.
You don't just get a job with Millis, you join a family. Millis is the elite company of the trucking industry.
I went through MTI and then fulfilled my one year obligation with Millis and from start to finish it was an outstanding experience. If I were looking to be a company driver I would recommend Millis, especially for new drivers. I only left because I was starting my own carrier business.
Great company to start with and work for!
Millis has been an awesome place to work. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working here. There have been some hiccups along the way but in all seriousness the people in BRF have gone out of their way to see that I’ve been taken care of. The miles are here if you want them. Jim W is simply the best dispatcher there is. Tell them how you want to run and they will give you the freight. 3-4000 miles a week was pretty common for me. I never had a issue getting home either. I went through the school here as well and can honestly say it’s the best bang for your buck. Simply put there isn’t another training program that pays as well as millis does. I really don’t have a negative thing to say I would recommend millis to anyone. Loved my time here and if this new venture doesn’t pan out I’ll definitely be asking to come back.
Ok job as a beginner but I feel like the pay is on the lower side especially once you have two years under your belt. Very nice people family oriented.
What is the best part of working at the company? Very professional company driver managers fair What is the most stressful part about working at the company? None no stress at all they are very patient all you have to do is your job What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Good layed back atmosphere DC are clean and have clean showers and lots of amenities
What is the best part of working at the company? Very good company to work for i enjoyed my time there What is the most stressful part about working at the company? N/a none that i know of the driver managers are great to work with and everyone else that i meet where great
I got my CDL from them in 2021. It was a great program, also the pay after obtaining my CDL and going with a trainer was unlike any other company. I know a lot has changed since I’ve left though.
Currently employed nearly 6 months. The whole process was very fast to get experience drivers going. From talking with a recruiter to getting my 1st job was about 3.5 days. To date I have to say work can be challenging at times. Always put SAFETY above everything else. Clearly communicate your expectations as people expect hand holding. This isn't the company for that. I've never had issues with anyone as I know they all make their best effort to keep things going on schedule. They even ask if some jobs are ok before FORCING dispatch which is extremely important. I'd highly recommend this company for people looking to get into trucking. Also any equipment issues are fixed asap along with fairly new well maintained trucks.
If you're just starting out and don't want to go over the road this is good pay and you WILL learn how to properly back a trailer. I'm only one the job for 2 weeks now we'll see after a month how I like it.
Just another OTR company owned by Heartland. Millis used to be a decent company, but has succumbed to the mega carrier environment. Full of lies and underperforming dispatch. They don't care about their drivers.
Went from a family run business that cared about the drivers to a corporate shell that treated the trucks and drivers as a commodity. Amenities in the trucks diminished with each passing year.
Good place to run for even with the economy being slow they will keep you busy much as possible. 70 miles per hour trucks or also fully equipped with direct tv, fridge and well maintained
Good place to get experience ... The job is what you make it. Dispatch was pretty cool and they fixed truck issues for the most part. Miles are there most of the time
Good starter company. They will train you. You get your cdl then roll on your own. Don't expect to get a new truck. They keep the their trucks for 4 years now. If you get a good dispatcher then you will be fine. Don't get on anyone's bad side because your life will suck. Maintenance on trucks will be every 10,000 miles. But if there's anything wrong with it. They will send you to the dealership. Expect to spend hours there. You will average 2000 mileage as and will be placed on a wait list 80% of the time.
The company provides good training. At the moment I am waiting for a trainer for 3 weeks because the company has a shortage of trainers. The former didn't even deserve to be called a trainer. Seems like a good company to start with.
What is the best part of working at the company? The company is awesome. It really is but I think the trainers need to be standardized. I system needs to be in place. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Nothing really. It’s not that hard. Drive. Sleep. Drive. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Millis was badass. The finishers and trainers were horrible What is a typical day like for you at the company? Drive. Driving doesn’t bother me
It’s not bad for a starter job once you get out of school. It’s slow now but some times you will get over $3k miles a week. You don’t pay anything out of pocket and later they will reimburse you like some other companies
This company used to be special but is slowly becoming just another truck company after Heartland purchase. Lots of restrictions, losing truck and trailer features that either made the job safer or easier.
One of the better CDL starter companies for people wanting to get a CDL… Excellent equipment. Nice terminals. Decent pay. Great hometime.. Pretty Decent management…
Love job im truly living out my's childhood dream so it's not like work to me just another day in paradise! My dispatch is awesome the whole team is great no worries here....
What is the best part of working at the company? This company is great for training the new driver. They have nearly new equipment and service for the equipment is good. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Getting paid miles don’t come easy. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Good information on internet for most of common delivers. Great network of drivers with information about the job and where one needs to go. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Typical OTR driving. Most of the loads you can travel nights or days.
The job is what you make it. Dispatch was pretty cool and they fixed truck issues for the most part. Pay starting off is highway robbery. Get your experience and do what you have to do after that.
Great company to work for enjoyed my time there. Heartland owning it is going down hill but overall I would deff go back. Dispatch was good and I would average 2800-3200 miles a week
