I worked for them yrs ago cherry picker. They were rats then. They are still rats. They may be trying to clean up a little now that the Gov is able to close the doors if they don't. They get people into their little endentured slavery programs just like the rest. I have said several times if you think you want to do reefer they may work out for you. Low wages. Long hours. Long waits some times. Get long runs pulled out from under you nearly there. Get a yr and go make some money. Real money for the hours you are investing. Make yourself wealthy not some rats who could care less if you live or die. It's all sales. You scared to have someone critique your little company? Not going to last long in this business like that. If you love it so be it. But when all you spout is cookies and sweet cream about one of the dirtiest companies around someone has to give opposing view.[/

I am not saying it's all a yellow brick road here BILLY BIG RIG. It's like any company your going to have your hiccups. But it's the way you handle them and deal with them. I am glad you like bashing this company
because for all the people that have came here due to this thread and saw that I have told the truth about FFE
just helps my thread. And also its not all about making you wealthy and making the big bucks it's where your
happy and where the company fits you. I have made great money at my last career ( Airline Pilot). And was miserable. So be it if you hate FFE but you tell me I just throw out milk and cookies ya I do but what's the
difference in me cause you just throw out hate? Also the link to this thread is DISCUSS YOUR FAVORITE Company. Not bash the one that didn't work for you. Like I said I stay positive in everything I do. It takes to much to hate.

Call us haters if you see the need, but perhaps we feel that both sides should be

exposed.

For the gentleman asking about money to bring with you. I would bring money to buy your own groceries when they take you to Wal-mart. Ya it's not going to be surf and turf but it saves you money for the 2 1/2 weeks your there. When you get on trainer truck and make the 455 a week you can make your own budget. Yes there going to be hiccups in every company but the good out ways the bad here. I was told I just throw out milk and cookies. Will here's a bad thing I went home for five days and my check this week is not going to be very good. But that's on me for scanning them the way I did. But the first trip back they gave me a trip that pays 1900 miles and already have pre plann for next trip that pays 1700 miles so next week will make up for my bone head move.

Playmaker,

Don't pay attention to the "nay sayers". If you want to concentrate on the positives of your job and company, do so. I would wager your a happier person for not keying on the negative. Everyone that has ever had a job should know that with every company there is good and bad. Personally, there are enough folks out there willing ot bash the company and would never concede that there is a positive side. Nothing wrong with milk and cookies. I've often wondered why the people that complain about the company only tell one side of the story. I believe it is their unwillingness to admit or they are blind to their own ability to do something wrong. Keep up the good work. Keep up the postings that you want to post and leave the negativity to the others. There are more of them anyway!

I may come up to the Old West or Babes in couple months when home. And you can talk to me about Billy Big Rigger. If you think this is bashing you're beloved reefer outfit you haven't heard ducuss. There are plenty on here to tell about how they ruined good companies they took over. Used to be fist fights down on Industrial Ave and Cadiz in Dallas after they cheated drivers for various reasons. It has to be better now. Cause it couldn't have gotten any worse. So before you start yapping you might want to learn your history. That way you won't make the same mistakes thousands of drivers did w/ FFE. Keep meticulous records. Never let them go more than a week on disputed earnings. If you use Qualcom or other system know to put lots on there so it can be used in YOUR favor if need be. Phone calls mean nothing in money negociations. ETC ETC ETC

Well doesn't matter either way in my situation. FFE doesn't bring in students from NC due to some weird law NC has about transferring a CDL over. Apparently you have to retake the tests and pay the fees all over again when you transfer, so they don't accept NC or IL residents due to this. Gonna have to figure out another way in!

i took a cdl course at beaufort county comm college when i lived in nc and then moved to va due to wifes health and family and had my cdl changed to va and it was really painless-only had to have my license and 2 proofs of address and i was out in a hour at the dmv-ive checked and called recruiters and they have no issues with my virginia cdl-do you have any relatives in va?just a thought.

I would like that, sitting down and talking about this, hick I will even buy dinner and the beer and for desert we can have milk and cookies....LMAO. I am just saying the past is the past. We have new President and COO. I don't know what happened in the past but FFE
works for me. I know the history of the company how it was formed. As for paper as in payroll I treat this as my business so I keep every paper work in a in separate files so I know what should get paid. You can private msg. me if you want to meet and sit and talk about the past and present. Take care.....

Way to handle the situation at hand Playmaker. I must say when i 1st came on here trying to decide what school to go to. I pasted up on all old post and was strictly looking for the most recent info. I appreciate all the updates that you've done helping me to slim down my decision. I really like the direction that the company is going in. Please continue to shake off the haters and do a good safe job. Looking forward to more post and hopefully being apart of the team sometime soon, helping to put a bad taste in all the haters mouths due to the forward change of the company and all the new safe drivers entering the industry. Again be safe out there champ!!
