Freymiller or Calex Logistics

Chris and Steve are in safety with Corrie. The two of them do the orientation classes.

 

Having been to both companies myself, if you want to be closer to home, I would go with calex. Freymiller is tough in getting you home. Especially being that you're located in nepa. For me, I needed to be close to home, so I went to calex for a bit until I got enough experience to go local.

 

I can tell you that Calex is a good company to work for. If you choose them, make sure you either run the west coast fleet (2 weeks out, east coast to CA and return) or what they call the "local" fleet, which is really northeast regional. Either of those will get you miles and decent pay. Myself, I worked there, but ran the "regional" board which is really everything generally east of I-35. I don't know if it was me, but I could never get good miles out of that fleet and struggled financially.

I'd still be with them (and wish I could go back) if I would have chosen the west coast fleet. I have no desire to run northeast regional (which I'm kind of doing right now at my present company) and at the time I worked there, couldn't run the coast.

Unfortunately I now can be out for 2 weeks and could run the coast, but it's likely too late for me to return.

Anyway, there are some really great people there, from safety to dispatch, who will treat you like a human being and not a number. It's your choice, but you wouldn't go wrong taking the Calex job and running for a locally based company.

 

The cameras at freymiller are stand alone cameras that record to an sd card in an event. They do not have monitoring capabilities. You can buy the same camera on Amazon. Oh and I should point out that the hard breaking sensitivity on our trucks are not nearly as sensitive as some are. You have to break petty dang hard to set of a hard breaking event.

 

Freymiller was a good #### company man. I needed to be close to home and they couldn't make that happen, so I had to leave, but freymiller from what i saw was a solid company.

Not on our first truck, but this one doesn't seem as sensitive.

but freymiller from what i saw was a solid company.
Absolutely agree!!

 

They were man, you got that vibe as soon as you got off the plane to okc and stop down at the terminal.
