So I passed all my CDL test and have 2 primary companies to choose from LTI or Freymiller . LTI Orientation starts next week and is my first choice since they pay 20 cents a mile more, and prefer their service area. Freymiller orientation does not start until 7/25. Is there any reason you wouldn't go with LTI ? Or any other thoughts?

20 cents?? Wow. 18 years ago I started at .28 as a rookie and within 6 months was at .35. Is .20 really the going rate for new drivers????
Puppage Thanks this. -
20 cents per mile? That's horrible. You can do a lot better than that right outta the gate. Keep looking.

I've driven for LTI for almost 6 years & like it more than the other 3 companies I've driven for. Never driven for Freymiller but LTI treats you well and pays good. Miles and pay depends on the fleet you choose though. I drive for candy dedicated fleet.

20 cents is a lot. That's why we're out here. For the $money!
However, if you're not getting good miles, they can pay all they want.
I have PROVEN time and again to Freymiller that I know how to run, and they run me.
As a Daisy fresh rookie tho, I'm afraid Freymiller may not be the best fit for you. This is a "Big Boy" company. I've stated that many times. When I came on board, you HAD to have 3 years OTR experience just to apply. A lot of "expierenced" drivers cant make it here. Beacause THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO RUN!! You may get lost in the cracks here. As far as I know, they're not going to hold your hand and spoon feed you while you're trying to learn this industry. I don't know anything at all about LTI, so anything I would say would be pure speculation. Freymiller has GREAT equipment, which makes life on the road a lot more comfortable. That's something you should think about, when you're out here for 30 days, or more, at a time.
Feel free to ask me anything. If I don't know the answer, I'll point you not who does have the answer.G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
I do have experience just not recent. What is Freymiller's "Hometime Policy " and how does it work in the real world?
