Freymiller May 2018

Thank you so much for that information, it was very helpful.

 

Still @ Freymiller?? Your candid assessments helped me make the decision to accept their offer. Coming aboard next month. Hope you're still rolling...somewhere

 

Good to hear. I, too will be driving out of Florida for Freymiller so I'll be looking for those long runs out west. I have been hauling tankers so live loads, live unloads and waiting forever to get your next load is something you live with in tankerland almost every run. Oh that and inconsistent miles every week.
Freymiller's pay is meh, but if there is miles to be had and the much improved culture piece I hear about, I'll be a happy camper.

 

If I ever went back to trucking I would go back to Freymiller. I was treated very well there. I just couldn’t figure out how to make a consistent paycheck there.
Just like someone else said, you get your pay the following week. When that happened to me and I jumped to another long run, I would end up with a small check the next week if the trip terminated after the pay period was over.
If the pay period ended on Sunday, my trip would end Monday or Tuesday. Maybe after being there for a long time and proving myself, my DM would have lined me up better. But mine took very good care of me, got me out of a snake-bit truck and Into a new truck faster than I thought. That was awesome, but you can’t eat a truck!

 

Did you make out to Freymiller? If so how is it going?

 

Never took the job at Freymiller.
Just couldn't get over the low initial offer per mile, in spite of the long runs, nice equipment and small everyone-knows-your-name atmosphere that I'm sure they offer. Still hauling reefer-took the Shaffer/Crete offer @ .52 to start. Not much drop and hook in reefer but the appointment times have been real accurate and I rarely if ever sit long enough to get detention so I'm happy. Running around 2600-2800 miles-that's plenty for wintertime.

 

Does Schaffer have driver facing cameras?
