Freymiller; a few questions

I have a thread "Freymiller Bound; Reefer madness begins" pay is depending on how long at your last job 65 mph trucks go all over pets ok teams get the new T680's lots of miles great people they are a "Truckers" company will run you if show them you can run.
Safety is critical but they don't ride you if you screw up they will get on you downhill speed haven't been notified on it.
Love's is primary fuel stop,E-logs,pretty good average on drop/hook over 50%,Per Diem is .14 not voluntary but helps(in detail on my thread),chains never used them to bad don't run,dispatch will treat you like you treat them be professional get a professional attitude.
Teams are good 3-4 weeks will get you plenty of options call Vickie (800)909-5664 Ext 210 she can answer a lot of your questions feel free to ask on the other thread k.

Be safe and good luck

 

You said teams get t680's? Or did you mean t660's?

I run team with another company right now and we are thinkin bout jumpin ship cause they are promarillt a solo company and that's about the mileage we have been getting since this company stays east of the misissippi primarily, were lucky if we get 3500 miles a week and they are always botching our hometime. Since my partnet and I live so part from each other we alternate hometime monthly and we understand that frieght doesnt work out exactly when we want it to but we have never made it home reasonably close to when we want to be there wich is hard to believe cause 90% of the time we are usually less than 400 miles sometimes 600 miles from our homes.

Anyways spoke to a recruiter at freymiller last week and of course I got the "the grass is greener over here" type routine saying average 4500-5500 miles a week steady, average haul 950-1250.

She also said trucks were all kw t660's and pete 386's 2011 and newer with apu's, however I think I sae on here that the pete's are only single bunks.

 

I am scheduled for orientation on the 21st. Any current drivers out there have any info on how your experience has been with them. I'm Coming into the restore program they have. Besides Swift they are the only ones offering me a shoot at getting back on the road. Thanks for any info.

Hey y'all.. I used to be a regular poster on this site under the name gator06, I believe was my name. Anyway after a few years working local I'm heading back OTR.
I've read most of the post here and like most there are good and bad things said about this company. If anything really stood out it was the fact that there is a lot more positive then negative said about this company. Look at it this way, if company's had an,open,forum to talk about it's good and bad drivers, how many of US would be talked about at some point or other on the bad driver list. In trucking there's no "perfect fit" for drivers or company's. You have to be willing to go to any company keeping an,open mind and make your own experiences. There's gonna be good days and there's gonna be bad days. It is what it is people and it's been this way since the days of wells cargo.
As far as Freymiller is concerned, I looked into this company just before going local. I did my research as I do with any company and a lot of it concist of talking to the actual drivers currently sitting in Freymiller equipment. I will say that the majority of the guys I talked to were pretty happy. No one really complained about miles, or equip. I can say after 17 years you kinda learn the good and bad and who the swifts are. I for one don't like big companies But in today's day and age their pretty tuff to avoid. For me I'm looking fwd to running for these guys. I have pretty tuff skin and can,overlook a lot of BS. Its my opinion that the majority of driver's would be happy here. The equipment is excellent, from what I hear drivers are appreciated and respected. They don't play games with your pay and as you get along and go along then a driver shouldn't have issues here. Now with that said let me first comment for those of you who think that getting along and going along means kissing tail. Yup sometimes you have too! Its their equipment ,their freight. So if that means being nice to people I wouldn't hangout with at home, then so be it! If that's what it takes to get better runs so what! When asked to do favors and take a crap 20 stop 200 mile run, yup I'm gonna do it and not complain. Why you ask ? Cuz it's not my truck, its not my freight and I'm just an employee. But like other smart drivers out there I'm gonna bank those in my " did you favors bank" I'm gonna pull these out at times like mid November and freights slow a few weeks before Xmas knowing I need the money and remind my DM respectfully. Call it tail kissing or anything you want, cuz the bottom line is all I care about is supporting my family. I hope all of you go into your next job or even next day of work with a better attitude or at least be willing to keep an,open mind. Make your own experiences, make that position yours. Set the goal to be that companies number one driver. Be that guy that all DMs WANT on their board. If you can do this, I guarantee a very nice pay raise to your bottom line...

Be safe drivers. Remember the rubber side of your truck goes down ⬇
