I called Millis and they have a process. They fill out a re-hire form and circulate it through their various departments and make the decision based on the feedback that is put on it. I am not one to burn bridges so this morning they called me to say that I can come back. Now I am not a butt kisser but I want to say thanks to Millis right here.
I just missed the orientation in Cartersville that started yesterday so I have to wait for the next one or go to one somewhere else that will be coming up. Also I have to go out with a trainer for a time to get my feet wet again.

Are there Mulligans in trucking?
Well, I’m wondering if maybe I can have a redo. 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. I have my own real estate business and you can imagine how that’s doing. I’ve applied 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, Will 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.)
