I will be trading a sleeper truck for a day cab, will be paid by the hour for everything. New company offers medical, dental, and vision insurance at no out of pocket for me, 2 weeks vacation, 10 paid holidays, 401K, and profit sharing. Will be working 40 to 60 hours a week home most nights usually one overnight trip a week, with weekends off.

I missed the orientation in Cartersville GA so I hitched a rise up to Richfield WI on March 28.

Started orientation on the 31st with one experienced new hire, one other re-hire and six new MTI grads.

I got picked up by a trainer on April 3. I was quite disappointed to find out that I was going to have to do five weeks with a trainer. Still, I'll take my medicine and make the best of it.

It's going well. I'm back to where I was except for backing. My set up is a little off. We are in a T600 and it's harder to back than the T2000 that I had.

So far, after starting out in Richfield we have gone to Coon Rapids MN, near Syracuse NY, Niagra Falls NY, just south of Gary IN, Chicago, Columbus OH, Trenton OH, East St Louis IL and Ft Worth Texas where we are right now.

I wonder if I can get back on the road. After Millis training I was in my own truck for four months before I left for personal reasons. My record is clean and I think I am a good driver. My worry is that since I have been out of the truck for four months I might not be able to get the job back.

I left Millis in November for personal reasons. I went through a winter in which I sat hours by my mother’s side until she passed away in January. My oldest daughter came home to give me my first grand child and to stay until her boyfriend comes home from Afghanistan. I have my own real estate business and you can imagine how that’s doing. I’ve interviewed for a number of technical positions that I’m plenty qualified for but I don’t think anyone wants a fifty five year old new hire. That’s their problem.

So my questions are,

Do any of you think that Millis might take me back?
If so, will I just have to go back through orientation or something more?
If not, what about Schneider or another company?
(I would like to go back to Millis because except for the one week that I was stressed out tying to get home for the family emergency, they were good to me.)
