The New FFE Driver Academey

I don't think its about what your driving technique is going to be for the rest of your career. It's more about how you operate the equipment during your eval.

That being said, As Edmund described his experience, it may have been decided before he left the yard, or not, who knows? Hell, DPS gives you 3 tries. the academy gives you 3 tries. According to Edmund, You get one shot with Sal, or the silver dog takes you home. Hell I got a hard brake event in my 1st week out, and I may have sent a pretrip inspection @ 15 mins instead of 16, does that mean FFE is going to vaccinate themselves from THE ROAD VIRUS? Should I be worried? Edmund, are you on the hook for the 3 grand?

 

I was E-mailed by my recruiter. I have been Approved and my date is scheduled for 12/5. Very excited now.

On another note someone posted before, there's no way they would put someone through school and then let them go once there training was done because of no work. Doesn't make sense.

Edmund everything does happen for a reason. Good luck to you in your future ventures. God Bless Drive Safe.

 

from my experience with the company I went with and from what others have told me ( i know, I know, it's not gospel lol) a lot of companies are strict on the test out and it's always one shot. It's either pass or fail not well you messed this up but let's see if you get it this time.

 

Hey, Playmaker. The cooler in your truck is working, yes? If so, I'll bring couple of jars of the jam I put up last summer. You can call it a "truck warming" gift...and something to take the sting out having to look over in the cab and seeing my ugly phizz instead of your lovely girlfreind. Peach and blueberry. Pretty killer goop. People have been known to commit murder to get their hands on some of my exceptional jam. OK, it's not exceptional....but it's really, really good. And who cans these days, anyway. A downright lost art. And my wife wants the sugar out of the house. She's trying to diet and don't need the temptation. But I made low sugar jam for her and it's #### near as good as the high octane stuff I'm bringing.

 

Virus....always make sure you have a plan B...Am I on the hook for the three grand? Thats the $3000 question,I don't know.I tried to call the academy to get in touch with Greg Peace or David Bilbo and left messages to find out but evidently nobody there answers the phones there or returns messages. Either way I would think not considering they nagated the contract by sending me home.

 

Thats not even true at FFE,three other students failed for speeding and got a second chance to retest and passed on the retest and got trucks.

 

You might want to have a plan C and D as well. You never know. Good luck to you guys out there.

Hey Edmund, your cuz need another driver? lol

 

He might the only thing that sucks is lots on NYC and 99% touch freight.And yes I actaully do have a plan c and D LOL!!!!!
