    Honest opinions. Prefer former or current employees at either to help me decide.
    I do have the option to do a refresher and go Freymiller possibly or Heartland Express.

    Honest opinions... Well, Werner at least gives you a truck that will do 65 mph. That alone would make me choose them over Swift.

    If you have the option to go straight to Freymiller, do it. FM is a pretty good outfit. Don't bother wasting any time with Heartland.

    Not sure where you live but stay away from heartless as some ppl call them. I've been told horror stories by there drivers personally. Out of who you named FM is the better choice.

    But what kind of trucking do you want to do? Don't limit your self to a few companies. Seek out companies that offer decent checks, benefits, and equipment.
    Basically make a better decision than Warning or swifer sweeper!!!

    So are you saying Swift get's a higher grade of lot-lizard?

    Or just one with more truck backing experience?

    Wasn't implying that at all, but between those two companies it's gonna suck either way
