The New FFE Driver Academey

OH h3ll no! You dit-int!

 

Hey guys I was just wondering:

Is the Academy training 18 days straight with no days off? (please tell me it is)

Does DPS take credit or debit? cause on the paper work i recieved it says they don't but thats kind of hard to believe because everyone takes credit or debit today.

 

Thanks Playmaker, well I think I found my answer on the Texas DPS website but it contradicts what I have on my paper work. It's not a big a deal just curious I guess.

Sorry guys I have the windows of my baby shut and I can't hear u in my ultra quiet cab that I cart hear my reefers or the trucks running next to me. And the water bottles from my built in fridge are nice and cool while I sit in my non idling climate controlled cab that runs off its own battery banks. 6 speaker stereo system works great 2. All in all she is a great truck that rides the smother out off all the other trucks in the fleet (drove them all). And spat I carry a yoga mat to keep my knees from being sore.
