Mike....Millers is putting their labels on, and yup, only on the door. However, if I choose to put my name on, they will pay to have it applied on the sleeper, in their colors. The only thing besides your name they allow for in the contract, is an American Flag, which they will also pay to have applied. They seem to want things pretty.

As for my tractor, they have paid to install the PTO and drive shaft, the Intransit heat package, and the new air comp and control lines for air assist, at an outside shop. Tomorrow they do the labels and install the liquid pump. They also paid to swap out the fifth wheel, to raise it 4" so as to get a proper drain on the Tank during live unload. I have 22.5 Low Pro's, so they put on a brand new Holland, with a 4" wedge base, replacing my flat based Fontaine.

Miller is like being in the Army.

THEY take the hand valve off of YOUR steering wheel so you don't use their brakes.

THEY put THEIR puimp on YOUR truck to avoid paying you a pump charge, when I asked the dufus what about MY fuel he looked at me kinda stupid.

It IS forced dispatch, YOU WILL do what they tell you.

Miller HAD a terminal in Jersey a few years ago, and CUT all the rates, trouble is, they couldn't do any of the work, the O/O's from around here laughed them right out of town.

Miller is a joke, and I'm trying to keeep this thread claen.

 

Not to be a buttinsky but it does sound pretty strict, and I too am trying not offend.

You know, a lot of guys can say they got a load paying $1.55/mile. Not a lot of guys can get back to the house and say that every mile that truck rolled while I was gone brough in $1.55 in revenue!

 

that is sorta the point of this thread,thanks for taking notice,also as a O/O leased onto a company

 

Good grief! :shock: Miller just opened an office in Morrow (Atlanta area) GA at the same tank wash as the Superior (my carrier) terminal. I haven't seen many trucks there yet. Dana is in the same little area and QC is just a mile down the road. Funny how all of the carriers get in one little area.

Anyway, I had wondered what the deal was with Miller, because I met one of their company drivers who disdainfully told me that Miller was the VIP tank company and Superior just picked up what Miller did not want. :roll: Right . . . .

 

I guess I need to get all this straight. So, OrangeTXguy is our resident Miller expert, is that right? Paul, I was thinking of your company, it does sound a little strict, no? This is cool, at least three major companies represented here. I wonder if after swapping notes long enough all of you will be working at the same company a year from now giving me rookie advice. :lol:

 

Miller is about 1/2 the size of Superior, 447 power units

Superior has 947, Dana/Suttles/Liquid has 1462, QC has 3400

Find it here www.safersys.org go to company snapshot and type in the name or the DOT #.

I believe QC owns the Morrow Ga tank wash and terminal, Dana owns the one in Winder Ga, and all the other ones that were Mast Brothers, except the one in Tenn, Mast still owns that one.
