    I would say yes for the most part. Like ant other company they have their good and bad. If you like to run they will run you but you will have some slow weeks. Just part of the game in trucking. Home time depends on where you live if it is easy or hard for them to get you home. If you want to read back on the thread to for it. A lot of info on here but a lot of reading to go along with it. Other then that feel free to ask any questions you have we all here can answer them for ya. At less do are best to. If not we will tell ya to ask Don. Good luck on your interview.
     
    DirtSquirt Thanks this.

    I have read some about FRE, sure like any other company there is good and bad. I know they run E-logs. I used to work for DSW(SWIFT) out of AZ. They have to be way better than them.

    Lmao, ya I will say FRE is better then swift. We run e-logg but we can log off for personnel conveyance when we need to to go shopping, shower ect. If you have a place to park you can take the truck and trl home. They have APU's but if it stops working you can idle the truck. No routing, fuel at any pilot/ flying j. If you worked at swift I am sure you will like working here. Still got to work but you get a lot more freedom in doing you job. Just got to be able to do your job without being micro managed.
     
    holycow Thanks this.

    Sounds great already, I dont mind working, I hated the designated fuel stopsl/routing at DSW. You had to fuel at swift terminals all the time. Hard to rack up showers that way, DSW used to complain about idling, no matter what temperature(no APU's) and their slip seating rule blows. I used to run as hard as could for them and I did ok..just didnt like being a monkey holding the wheel ya know. I learned 15 years ago how to route and fuel and run a truck. It sounds like you work for FRE. Thanks for all the info. Im looking forward to going to work for them. Im sure FRE will be a great Company to drive for, alot depends on the attitude you carry with you to work.
