    I like Freymillers equipment. I feel off I go there I won't get a tobacco stained dirty truck. Plus Don Freymiller is a living legend IMO. I read his book. It was a great read. I couldn't put it down.

    I'm gonna call Robert tomorrow and get the scoop. I think starting pay is now 40cpm. Freymiller almost seems like a grand slam fit for me but the driver facing cameras turn it into a ground rule double.
    I'm just curious how much Chicago Freymiller does? Do they do a lot of LTL loads? Length of runs?
    I always see a Freymiller truck delivering to Gress Refrigerated Services near my house. So it looks like getting once in awhile shouldn't be too hard.
    I'm giving up my apartment and putting my stuff in storage so staying out long doesn't bother me.

    Have you ever run long haul before?
    I ask, because it is a lifestyle that a lot of people are not cut out for.

    If you don't mind physical work, you'll probably do much better with a food service or LTL outfit in your area. $75K+ annual, and home more often than not.

    I'm looking for no touch freight. I just wanna drive. I'm single. No kids. I wanna do OTR for a year and decide where to go from there.

    Mostly depends on how well you're gonna get along with your Dispatcher. Seen some really good hands leave good companies because of a bad Dispatcher that didn't know what they where doing. Yes, freymiller runs west. Don't think they go any farther north on the west coast than Vegas. Good company though, they tell where you're going an leave you alone unless you call them. As long as you do your job, pickup and delivery on time, keep them informed about any problems or delays you should be good.

    About the bad dispatcher. If you find yourself in a bad situation is there anyway to communicate this too the company and get a new dispatcher?
