<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wc5b, post: 3406832, member: 11680&quot;]I have not seen info on Freymiller since a year or so ago. I was wondering if I could ask a few questions about them from drivers in the know. I understand there are strong feelings both positive and negative, and I know the rumors of &quot;multiple&quot; bankruptcies that may or may not exist. I am looking for more specifics. (Company Driver specific)</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Are there any benefits to teams being recruited? Sign on bonus? Better Equipment (Not that what they have is bad)? </p><p><br /></p><p>2. How is freight if you stay out 3-4 weeks? Is west coast common for solo drivers living east that do not require to come home weekly? Or are the teams the only trucks that get the west coast freight? (Or at least more then load and unload EVERYDAY as solo?)</p><p><br /></p><p>3. How much drop and hook? Do teams get mostly drop and hook? Solos? How about no-touch freight percentage?</p><p><br /></p><p>4. What speed are the trucks governed? Is it at least reasonable and not nazi controlled against legal safe speed downhill rates?</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Does pet policy have any fees?</p><p><br /></p><p>6. How is treatment from dispatch towards professional minded drivers that live by the golden rule? Do teams get treated &quot;better&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>7. Electronic Logs?</p><p><br /></p><p>8. Does the company expect or require trucks to run Chains, or do they allow drivers to employ safety first at there own discretion until chain restrictions are lifted?</p><p><br /></p><p>9. Do they accept a small reasonable out of route from time to time to get smoother travel or avoid hazardous weather?</p><p><br /></p><p>10. Per diem?</p><p><br /></p><p>11. What primary fuel location chain or chains?</p><p><br /></p><p>12. Is Safety a &quot;memorandum&quot; or a &quot;culture&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>13. Hazmat required?</p><p><br /></p><p>As you may see, I am kicking around the idea of getting back on the road. May bring friend with me. Trying to figure out if it would be better for each of us to run solo with Freymiller (a bit more comfortable lifestyle) or if its truly worth the advantages of teaming as we have experience doing it in the past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
