Freymiller May 2018

The company is healthy enough that you will likely not have any atypical or nagging problems. Problems you are likely to see here are problems that may hit any company. With that said, the operations here are very smooth.

The top issue is money. So here we go...

The way you make money at Freymiller is you try to deliver and pickup on the same days.

Do not have any "dead days" as I call them whereby you sit for a day until it's appointment time.

If the scheduling of loads is not to your liking, use QC to message dispatch on what you want. I asked and got what I want.

Next thing, make your appointments both PU and Del. The shipper or cons usually takes care of you in less than 2hrs. If they don't, then you get paid. Otherwise, they will let you sit and rot (some). And they are not in any particular hurry. When your late to get loaded at SHIPPER, they take time to load you, and it messes with drive time on the way to CONS.

The less time delays you have, the more money you make.

Ops and dispatch is competent 95% of the time at getting you a schedule that is runnable.

 

I don't go to the terminal much. If a driver doesn't live in OKC or Texas, he will sparingly see the terminal. I don't see many teams, but they are out there.

Freymiller teams usually get KW T680s. Everybody else gets Peterbilts and Freightliner. Maybe a dozen shakers there. 500 trucks in fleet not including independent drivers with their own trucks and authorities.

They run mostly produce loads. So I guess they would be doing carrots if they are available.

I'm a solo and I do beef, chicken, cosmetics, milk, cheese, sour cream, juice, and produce, but more other stuff than produce. I know teams get way more produce though. I met a team at Loves in Santa Rosa, NM who told me that.

 

Also, I don't think Freymiller has doubles.
