FFE...our first 10,000

sounds right denalidad, granted i dont have to worry bout that an more, im in the oilfield, but i have been thinkin bout going back otr, it wouldbe a big loss of money, but its in the family blood

 

ffe dose give out safety and milage bounous but they dont really tell anybody and u have to pester them to find out about it then they find a reason not to give it to you

 

No they don't, you get points to buy stuff with but no cash involved.

 

Hey Playmaker... I have a question post in Motor Carrier Questions section of the board. Could you please do me a favor and take a look.

my posting is titled "Questions for FFE company drivers"

Thank you sir

 

Playmaker... I copied and pasted my questions here for you if you can help out. Thank you.I've been off the road for about 10 years and entering the profession again.

My question is for FFE OTR company drivers. How many miles a week/month are you averaging?

Has your company experience been an overall positive one?

I'm looking to be behind the wheel for 3 - 4 months at a time then take 4 days off... back on the road for 3 - 4 months... then 4 days off... and so on.

I appreciate any and all input you have.

Joe

 

When I was solo I averaged between 2500 to 3100 a week. On bad weeks it would be around 2100 on a good week 3500. I am running teams with my girlfriend, our first week out as a team was 5600 miles. Overall it's been OK, it's a trucking company. They have there good and bad points.

 

Thanks Playmaker... I appreciate your response.

hate to tell you playmaker but ur r wrong u do get acash bouns somebody is lying to you

 

No I hate to tell you that your wrong. When do we get cash bonuses? For what? Are you talking about layover or break down pay? If so that we do get. Go ask Dan Bailey ask him if we get CASH bonuses. I just was in a select driver meeting today with VP Mark Rhea, we did ask him why we didn't get incentive bonuses. He said that we are going to work on getting the drivers bonuses. So no we don't get bonuses yet.

 

hate to tell you i got a cash bounous on my check two weeks ago so u r wrong i would even send you a copy of my pay stub apperently one hand dosent know what the others r dong at that company even the higher ups and no im not talking about b down or layover pay i do know the differnce
