    I don't know the full story of what happened, but I do know that their legal name is D & M Carriers dba Freymiller. I also heard that they were bought by another company that ran the whole operation into the ground. Right now, we have around 250 trucks, but they are certainly trying to grow. They just need to make sure they keep growing their freight base at the same time.

    FREYMILLER was bought up by AMERITRUCK in 1996 which was run into the ground along with all the companies they bought. The FREYMILLER family got back the rights to the company name name and went back in business.

    Hi Pope, i worked at freymiller before and i left to work at wal mart. I will be coming back to freymiller in July. I really loved it there but wanted to try that home every week thing. B00000. Ilike the people there and the way i ran there. I had susan for a fleet manger, and she was very good to me and vickie said i could have her back. Can't wait to get back. Good luck and hope to see you there.

    VIckie has been awesome to deal with and has done a great job representing freymiller. She didnt sugar coat any of the info just to get me in the door. I Can't wait to start with them.

    Greetings!

    I have a "list" that I made and scouring through and Freymiller is on my list. I've looked over their website but have not been able to determine if they hire out of my part of the country.

    I was hoping to shoot out an email to "someone" there that could answer that question but the website only has phone numbers, (the links part of "contact us" for the Recruiting doesn't work either).

    So, my question is, does anyone on here have an email to one of their recruiters? (I work full time so calling doesn't work for me)

    Thanks for any and all assistance y'all can give.

    I hope to be able to "follow" y'alls progress as you start with this company (I like what I have gleaned so far about this company, mostly good).

    Anyway. Thanks.

    God bless and be safe y'all.

    when i drove for freymiller, i was based in phoenix,,,and i ran everywhere.....lot to times loaded in yuma, and headed to to the east coast or canada...sometimes i loaded tortilla chips out of phoenix, and ended up in new mexico.....ran some out of the northwest too....i found out one thing,,if you go through nevada, and partied and screwed up your delivery, they might let you run nevada much again...that was one big problem they had,,i had seen teams screw up there deliveries...i probably will forget about trucking, being 63, and started getting motion sickness for some reason...the highway signs irritated the hell out of me....talked to doc,,he heard of a couple people like me,,but the pills you take for it,,you cannot drive......i make 27000 a yr,,,and will just work a few more years and call it quits
