FFE has auto's, all 2018 & newer trucks have inverter's and fridges. With you having a CPAP they will give you one of those. My 2015 came with an inverter, I supplied my own fridge.

They are based out of Dallas, but has a small terminal in Houston.

You don't have to team either. If you are doing linehaul (OTR) and get to a terminal, while waiting for another linehaul load you will help out doing local (pays by the hour) or regional (miles plus drop pay)

 

Here's one with all automatic transmissions and has a facility in Houston.
Choice of solo or teams.

No, the opening page, at the bottom, show the facility is in Dallas. Don't know if they hire Houston drivers or not.
Phone number is listed at bottom of opening page.

 

Decent starter company. For solo driving, Jenn can probably fill you in better than me. I hear solo drivers average about 800 a week. I also hear they are given the option to do local work while lay over at the terminal where you are paid hourly.

That sounds like a pretty good deal. Just don't be afraid to take the local work driving around cities while you are waiting for your next run to another terminal.

 

Gotta ask.
Working with Biohazard or the inside of the truck looked like a Biohazard?

Because in trucking both are possible.

 

That's correct, 0.50 per mile. They run you very hard. It's good money but they expect you to haul ###. You will shut down for your 10 hour break and right at 10 hours they expect you to be moving again. From what I hear they will be calling you if you aren't moving after 10 hours. They work you hard but they will pay you decent if you are willing to drive.

 

Do you know, FFE helps with the Tyson loads still, right?
