Profile For Walker

Hey Tim, I am starting at Millis Transfer this Monday, April 11th, in Ohio. I will be going through their CDL school. I am relatively new so I'll answer what I can. My friend works for Millis and its a decent company. As a new person at Millis you can expect to make $800-900/week(per my friend and his pay stubs) but that all depends on how hard you run. I have been told starting pay is like .31cpm but I haven't seen it in writing yet. You have the option of getting home weekly but I have been told the longer you stay out the bigger the checks. As with any company in any industry I am sure it has its flaws but I chose them because I could drive to the CDL school and come home on the weekends because I live relatively close, and I have a friend who works there and has been there for a 5-6 months that could give me the inside info on it. Plus, I have not heard a whole lot of bad things about Millis aside from people complaining about how many miles they get. The normal miles weekly that my friend has been seeing has been 2400-2800/week with a few 3000+ weeks. As a kicker they got DTV in some trucks now as well. And my understanding is there is no forced dispatch to NYC. Lol, honestly though. As a newbie, I am just pumped to hit the road and do something I love and see the country and could careless where they send me..... I will try and update you on how the school is going.

Just an FYI Roehl Transport offers paid training now to get your CDL and it is roughly $500/ week while in schooling. They also offer a couple different starting pays and claim they can guarantee $50K your first year, I would take that with a grain of salt though. While in school its $500/week and they provide transportation and a hotel. During the OTR portion they pay $90/day but your only OTR for 15 days before getting your own truck. Its a new program but a good one. My buddy started with them in the OTR Flatbed division and made a phenomenal living for 3 years before deciding to try something local. Starting pay with them is .32cpm to .35cpm depending on the fleet. goes to .42cpm to .44cpm by the end of your first year.
