Finished Millis Training In Cartersville Today.

Yeah, finished up today. Got my comdata card and come Tuesday the 8th, I will be heading out with a trainer for 15k miles I must drive before I go solo.

I am going otr though the abundant regional positions and being home every weekend was enticing, I chose to just hit the road and stay out for as long as my wife can stomach it..lol. Seeing how she now has the task of our 3 dogs and a full time job.

It's all good, we do have a 10 yr plan we are implementing before we retire so the "balls to the wall" challenge for the first two years is about to be in effect.

I got lucky I do believe, my trainer lives 5 miles from my house, and I know of all the bad tales of living with a trainer for 5-6 weeks but I have a good vibe about this guy so hopefully I can do whatever it takes to complete this last step before going solo. Plus, I do still have many things to learn and I'm his 5th student, so, he will know what he is doing and combine that with my needing to know, things should be good.

Millis has good training, the 3 weeks at the training facility plus the 15k miles with a trainer should have me prepared enough to be successful on my own.

Anyone looking for a good place to land please contact me and I can give you more info on things. Thanks folks, hope to see you out there.

Hey congrats Tommy!

A lot of times those regional runs can get just about as many miles as the OTR drivers are getting. Ask around if you haven't already and see what everyone is saying about that.

Let us know how things go with your trainer!

Congrats Tommy!!!!! I run regional and can attest to what Brett said. I get plenty of miles with no problems at all.

Yes, I've asked around and the 3k miles a week does not happen that often, I'd say the avg from drivers I've spoken with is around 2500, which isn't bad at all considering most of them want to be home every weekend. Most all of them have families with kids so that's expected.

I chose otr for the 3k plus miles a week and that extra miles bonus of 5 cents per miles driven when you hit the magic number. Plus I prefer to see a little bit more of the country even if it is through my windshield as I drive by. But if you are in the situation where you need to be home on weekends, Millis has you covered.,

I was wondering who was kicking up all that dust Wednesday when I drove by on the interstate. You must have been doing victory laps and donuts..?
