    why would anyone want to leave with a deal like that, that's a company you stick with and get your experience in, do they take applicants from Oklahoma?

    It's $4,500 to come in without a CDL.
    It's $3,500 to come in WITH a CDL.

    Don't forget that all of your hotel and meal expenses from orientation are pilled up on this. As well as several other expenses.

    And unless the rules have changed, FFE will not prorate your tuition. They will not knock off ANY cost for staying for anything under the 12 months WHICH STARTS THE DAY YOU GET INTO YOUR SOLO TRUCK.
    Again, this is what I know from my time in the academy, and my time with FFE is drawing to a close so I don't really care anymore.'

    And why would you wanna leave at or shortly after 6 months? Because it's FFE- lol. Why wouldn't you wanna leave after 6 months.

    If you have a CDL, then you're okay.
    If you don't, FFE won't take you unless you're a texas resident or can get the DOT office to lisence you. You'd do that by showing them a utility bill or some knid of affidavit saying you've been a resident for so many months- TL : DR- they'll still probably say no.

    I sent you a PM about this, Sindrake.

    How long does it take until you get your first check? 4 weeks or 5?
