Star or FFE?
FFE or Star?
Hi everyone. I am a newbie. Fresh out of school and still green behind the ears!

I have two offers one from Star transportation in TN and the other from FFE.

Of the two companies which one is the best to go with being new?

I like Star because they claim to get you home weekly but it seems FFE will give me more miles??

IF you had to make a choice as a new guy and know what you know now, what would you do?

Any input would be great!

Thanks!

Well if you want to be home more often go with Star, If your looking to make more money go with FFE. I haven't heard much good about FFE though. And I'm new to so don't listen to me

Thanks for the reply.

Does anyone here have any experience with either of these 2 companies?

Be it good or bad?

Just trying to make a good solid decision that I can live with for a year at least.

Thanks!

I have some experience with FFE as that is the company I am currently with, all I can tell you is that they do give miles (I like to stay out 3wks at a time) and they treat you well my start pay is .38 a mile.
I have been with RFS (horrible, no miles, no pay), Heartland which had a lot of down time and very slow trucks.
Good luck with your search.
