The New FFE Driver Academey

Thanks Spat with the update on MN, I do appreciate it!!

 

Ok. Just got word from my recruiter that I have been accepted to attend the driving academy. My class starts September 5th. Looking forward to it!!

 

who was your recruiter?

I am STILL waiting on an accident report from the state of texas that shows I was not at fault before I can move forward and get my start date- UGH!!! State employees are killing me!!!

 

Jerry Wren is my recruiter. Good guy. My previous employer took forever to provide work history, but Jerry stuck with it and kept my up to date on the process. Good luck to ya!

 

not up here in Dallas

 

Why do drivers always complain that the company doesn't reimburse them when they send the company receipts? Then the company says they didn't get receipts. Why not make copies of the receipts and make notes on the copies.

I always do 'cause I have been told by a manager that he didn't get them...I put them in his in-box as he requested. He was amazed that I produced copies. He wanted the copies but I told him that I will give him the copies after I made more copies. He paid me.

 

Who collects this $177 dollars that you speak of? I never paid that. I was never asked for one dime. Oh, are you refering to what the student is expected to pay if he runs out on his commitment to the company? Simple solution either do not enter the agreement or hold up your end. You talk about every company you have trained with...how many is that? Are you a professional student? Or are you confusing training and orientation? FFE does provide food, fairly decent food, during orientation.

 

There is atleast one company out there that advertises free training. They say that tuition is forgiven with one years service. Just like FFE, right? Not so quick, listen to the rest of the story....as soon as you are out of training they start to deduct weekly payments for your tuition. At the end of the first year you will have paid half of what you owe, then they forgive the other half. This way they can say tuition forgiven after one year. Now during your second year they return the weekly payments they deducted the first year. So, they can say tuition was free. Does that company provide food? I do not know. I do know that I would much rather have a no BS one year committment, and NO weekly payments. Even if that means having to bring cans of Ravioli to school!

 

Two words rommin noddles. Lol. Seriosly that, bread, pb&j and lunch meat is not extreamly expensive. 100 dollars paid for all my food and I still had stuff to give the next class.
