    Any thoughts? I've been hired at both companies. I'm experienced but, nothing recent and been off the road for 4 years and need to take a " Refresher" course. Both companies seem great and have positive reviews. Seeking guidance and different opinions from current/past drivers on both companies. Thanks!

    Probably won't go wrong with either one. Being from Wis. WEL has been around a long time. Knew drivers that liked it there. I heard WEL lost a bunch of freight to this Badger State Western, out of Abbttsford , Wis. Another good company. Freymiller too, been around a long time, but I don't know much about them.

    I too would say either...just can't stand the sight of a camera staring at me. While I don't mind a dash camera facing the road, I'm totally against being spied on at the companies leisure.

    What's your location? That might help you make a better decision as you will have a better chance of getting home.

    Freymiller told me every three weeks I'd be home and I'm from Scranton Pennsylvania. Freymiller seems like a great company.
     
    HoserSmurf Thanks this.

    Yes it does! Certainly a lot of positive reviews. Thought starting is .03 CPM lower than WEL. Refresher training is also two weeks longer. Grrrr....:(
