    Yeah FFE sounds good because the recruiter said I'll be with a trainer for only 1 week (Central said 2 weeks).FFE also has Reefer and Van but I read you gotta stay out for 3 weeks which I don't mind but wifey will nag me.But I guess I go with who ever sends me a ticket 1st.I've heard minimum complaints from either company unless it has to do with a lease.

    How is FFE Idle policy ? I have read that you cant take pets anymore. What are they starting drivers at now? I know what your saying on people being able to ride with you, ETC I used to drive foe Lisa back in the day, but I know times have changed
