FFE Plasma Division, anyone have experience there?

I went straight into plasma right after school. It worked out for me. I think the average weekly run still pays around $1,500. But some weeks you'll make over $2,000. I don't think I ever made less than $1,000 on a working week.

I've had dozens of guys on my truck, I don't think there was ever an issue with smell. Some of the guys talked a lot. That's probably going to be the bigger annoyance. Guys that gravitate to team driving like to talk. I got used to it. Like I said, I've been there over 3 years because I liked the paychecks.

The job is easier than it was when I started. But the pay should still be pretty close to the same. The volume the donation sites are shipping out are smaller counts due to COVID. But you'll still get paid the same. Also they are using newer trailers now and they all have equipment in them. We used to have to scavenge the yard for all the equipment we need before we leave. LoL

 

It is probably what the individual feels comfortable doing. Me personally, I would prefer SOLO. I have shared living spaces with other guys in the past. To put it mildly, it is often quite stressful, not to mention angering.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

 

I'm actually not in plasma anymore. I moved on to Solo driving.

I texted one of the guys I trained and he said yea, at least for now they have made the runs larger. He said he's getting 2000-2200 a week right now.

They lost a lot of drivers in the past 4 months so they changed some things up, finally.

He sent me the run he's doing this week, it's big. Lol.

 

Plasma division? Really? And @Frank Speak doesn't work there?

 

Do you have any idea how many pounds you have to go through to *maybe* find some Kentuckian? Nah, that’s too chancy. Besides, it ain’t that hard to catch a nice fresh one.

 

Yeah, I know.....But sometimes you need to drink and run.....

 

Plasma is watered down and frozen. Probably not ideal as sustenance.

 

In the 3 years I've been there I have only been asked twice to work through hometime. Every other time I did it was me volunteering.

Are you doing CSL or Griffols?
