    I'm looking into joining the FRE family. Ever since my old DM at May moved over to Furniture Row, I have been tempted to come on board. After talking with a previous student of mine, getting a phone call from Don and reading the posts here, I am going to make the switch. Hopefully I can be a part of the team soon.

    I know Don has no one in orientation this week so just keep bugging him until you get your answer.

    If you live in Dallas you will be through there a lot, One of our main running lanes is KS & Co to Houston and back to CO. They pay layover on a case by case basis, Detention is paid after 2 hours, but you got to keep on them to get it. If you have worked for a alrge company, this is going to be a lot different, they do not constantly micromanage you,And expect you to think for yourself. If you have maintainance issues you call T/A, Bridgestone and ThermoKing Direct, don't even have to call in for approvla usually, sometimes you do. They are real hardarses about you not being late.If you don't have the hours communication is the key. The trucks run 65-68 depending on the fuel mileage the previous driver had, they re-evaluate that everytime you are in MS. shop.

    The Pete's run 65 on the petal and 68 on the cruise control. If you get a Pete make sure it has the reefer link installed so to keep the APU charged while you are on the road. Other then that everything that Tennessee man said is correct. If you need a service stop off to a t/a. We have a $1000.00 limit before they have to call the office. Same goes for any repairs and DOT instpections on trailers. We have a Bridgestone national account so have a flat call them. Try will send someone out to fix you. Have a breakdown with the Pete call the 800 # on your key ring and they will get you fixed. We don't have a breakdown department so you have to run that part as it you are a owner operator with someone else paying the bill. Always keep a open communication with your DM as they will help you out also. That will also allow you to do your job and them theirs easier. Sorry for the ramble a lot on my mine today. Have a safe on everyone. See you down the road.
