    Look at this. They say drivers couldn't agree on one thing and we have agreed that FRE needs to close the doors.....lol.

    I actually enjoyed my time working for FRE until recently and I needed a DM change and got totally ignored when I sent the email. The open door has been shut. That told me just how unprofessional it had become.
    I gave this outfit 100% and I certainly never got that in return. It is what it is. I'm not angry and actually I'm sorry it never went the direction they kept telling us it would go.
    When a company goes from 130 or so drivers to 70 or 80 and claims it was to help drivers...well fellas my miles never increased and that was a bogus reason they gave us. They just don't know how to muster business. Drivers had nothing to do with any of it.

    well u can educate ur self on searching the internet on how to run a trucking company but if u don't have the skills to implement what u learned then what good is it to do the research?i guess u can call drivers up and rip them up and put the blame on the drivers or u can lie about buying new trlrs and everything else to cover up ur inabilities to manage or just hang up on people u don't want to talk to.real classy people.any time u gotta lie u don't have much going for ya...

    Sharon and I both turned in our keys and cards today in New Albany. I'm glad to be moving on. I don't wish anything bad on FRE. They just need to settle up with me honestly.

    I'm sure they should, but, I don't think any of them have a clue about this...

    well I got almost everything off my chest and feel better for it.i enjoyed my time at fre till the sixth dm showed up and treated drivers like they were entry level.it doesn't matter now to me I am happy where I am at.they give u a load and leave u alone.i never hear from anyone.no micro management here.people here seem to be real secure about what they are doing.nobody seems to be winging it.they gave me a load and sent me a message asking me if I was o.k. with it.said if not they had other loads I could take.people say hi and good morning here.i am loving this.i was sitting in a truck stop and a driver came up to me and just started talking to me as if he new me.i asked if he was an Ozark driver and he said yes.no games played here thank god.everyone seems to work together.i thought I would be with fre for a long time but things happen.i am just to old to be putting up with the chaos.they do have some realy good people at fre but they don't live in Denver.

    I think that we are all better for the experience. I'm not angry at anyone. When I started there 19 months ago it did have a cordial feeling but the management change which we needed wasn't what I expected. These silly furniture store contest made me shake my head. Whoever gets the most furl at Aurora yard got bonuses. I hardly ever got to Aurora and then the fuel was bad so I avoided it but no more than I got there I wasn't winning anything.
    I got one trip to Oregon in a year. Never Washington so that didn't benefit me. Let's all stay in touch and we can forget about FRE. I'm no longer a part of that and only wish the best for the drivers that are.
