    I know they are not in Columbus, Oh. Mr. S there said I would be someone he would like to have on but that they had one truck open and it got filled. That was Wednesday. Thanks for the lead on who to call there ScooterDawg. Wish I could have gotten on there. I have a standing offer with FFE. It sounds OK. I can not believe how many companies will not take me with my experience just because the last year and a half I was local. I am up to 21 companies that have used that excuse, not enough recent OTR experience. Never mind the 10 1/2 years and 1.5 million accident free miles from 1/97 - 10-2007. Companies are extremely picky.

    Hey there Biscuit -

    FFE is not a bad company to work for, and if you have an offer, you might want to seriously consider taking it. At least that way you can get current and put some miles under your belt. Then later you will be much more marketable.

    Ya'll agree?

    I know they have all of the trucks filled right now. But that is subject to change anyday. Get on the phone, call them, keep your name in their minds. Persistance will be your friend.....
    Good Luck

    Nope..... $19.95 is already one heck of a bargain hehehehehehe. Keep it simple. See? I could give you a 10% discount, but then to offset the costs of managing the account, there would need to be a 10% Administrative Fee.... so we're better off just running straight out.

    Arf!

    Same time in and miles. But I have NO desire whatsoever to drive an automatic, so I'm staying with construction for now, if I can stay busy.

    Scooter,

    Thanks to my new(er) truck with the higher wattage inverter, I can finally get my laptop to charge and get online. Despite the fact that my truck is newer, since the name Little Man is already taken, I thought I'd just name mine Junior (as in Little Man, Jr.) whadda ya think? I think it's appropriate :)

    Are you saying FFE runs automatics? I'll ask around but did not get that impression from LoneWolf who is driving for them now. Refers yes (yuk!) ((sorry scooterMark)), auto's no.

    Camped out in Wisconsin en route to Minnesota ..
