Freymiller Bound;Reefer Madness Begins!!!

Wow I know February is a slow month, but those miles are ridiculous. Did you have your truck in the shop or something. I didn't think Freymiller was a place that would let grass grow under the truck. Just be careful when switching in the first 3 months of the year. It's normally slow for everybody and you just start back out on the bottom of pile.

 

No shop... but they blamed the weather. ... we will see what happens.

 

Brother trucker I worked for freymiller twice and believe me when I say your miles will stay low unless you kiss the right pass.

 

Looking back on things now, I agree with this. Rub the right people in the wrong way, and they'll make sure you're flat on your ### within a month.

 

I live in Louisville as well and my miles stay consistent at about 2800 to 3300 a week. I feel they are a pretty good company, but not perfect.

 

I was keeping up with this thread. I just updated my application last night, I hoping to see on this thread but it's been quite.

 

I left them this month. I was doing own authority and didn't make squat. The people are great there but if I can't pay bills I have to go somewhere else. I was eating a lot of deadhead close to 22%. Then having me grab loads that didn't pay. Example I deadheaded 267 miles to get a load that paid me 300 profit from PA to TX. I found loads within 25 miles of where I was sitting that paid 2+/ mile and they would not call the different brokers to get them. Good luck company drivers make better miles and money.

 

Thanks for replying, if I go it'll be as a company driver. I'm out of Cali and sold all my equipment last year in august. Thanks again and good luck

 

Company drivers do better there get paid for all moves. Good luck.

 

i'm a company driver here. after being here for some time. I don't make squat. they spread the miles out over 2 weeks. so 2400 miles is 1200 miles a week payable. freight here is so slow. most of us don't bother with planning trips. a good example: 1000 mile trip you get 4 to 5 days to be there. they act real nice for the most part. if you listen real close. you realize that terminal staff is envious of drivers and what they make. and not in a good way either. other things that I have seen. they don't help company drivers out with relaying loads unless the truck is broke down. if you do favors for dispatch or planners. you can forget about them doing favors for you. most of us here that are company drivers. end up black mailing our dispatchers for better miles. that's how we get better miles. there's nothing like a good pile of dirt. to berry your dispatcher under. other then that. I would not come to work here.
