@oft driver - Anyone that can tough it out in the oil fields won't have any problem doing OTR. It's a different world and the pay probably not what you're used to, but it's ok.

Depending on where you live and the lanes you're near you might not have to go otr. I enjoyed OTR minus chaining up, but the money is no where close to oilfield wages. I was home daily and making over 80k a year hauling frac tanks and pulling around 120barrel tankers in North Texas. Same company is still open, but the drivers only get 40hrs and the pay was cut by 6$/hr. Benefit to otr is that you'll never find yourself knee deep in mud hooking up the bulldozer's winch cable so he can drag you out, or having a panic attack any time you see a DOT officer with portable scales

Freymiller is all reefers and a good outfit.
FFE (Frozen Food Express) is Texas based.
Most posts on here about Abilene and Freymiller are positive; few if any negative posts and if there are any it's just minor stuff. -
Chinatown Thanks this.
