    @Ultratowel here's one thread on Freymiller. There's a few more threads on here on Freymiller. Put Freymiller in the "Search" feature in upper right hand corner of page.

    How many miles would you guys say you’re getting on average with freymiller as a new driver? What’s the starting pay like?

    This is not a fair question.
    As a daisy fresh rookie, you will have a lot to learn about this job,and lifestyle that goes with it. You will have to learn how best to run for you.
    Its also VITAL that you have a good relationship with your DM. You need to manage YOUR hours of service. If you have to stop every week for a reset, this will affect your miles. While a driver is sitting for 34 hours, I'm driving another 1,000 miles.
    As for pay, you can't expect to be new and make big CPM. You will also have a very mean learning curve to over come.
    Be patient. I've said many times, trucking is a marathon, not a sprint.

    Fully understandable. Just trying to weigh all the options and find the best fit. And I’m down to CFI and freymiller right now is all.

    CFI, I believe, is dry freight.
    I know Freymiller is reefer. 2 different worlds. Reefer is food. Food is a 24/7 operation. Every new load puts me on a different work schedule. I personally love that. Some drivers need a more routine schedule.
    There's a lot to consider about this industry. There's also some good drivers on this site. There's also a lot of bad drivers here. My advice to you, is to follow Chinatown. He has a wealth of knowledge about this industry.

    I normally don't hang out on this site too much, because there are too many haters, and I'm not going to have any dealings with haters. I don't need that in my life.
    Best of luck, I hope you find what you're looking for.
