From looking at the Texas manual it appears that most states cld manuals are the same other than the state specific licensing requirements. A little over 24 hours for me and I will be on the grey dog en route to texas. How big have the classes been lately?

 

i have heard in the 30's but not totally sure.

What's the latest on the tanker division at ffe? R they taking recent grads? Did they start running tankers? I read it will be water tankers.

 

DALLAS, Nov. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:FFEX - News) announced today growth plans for bulk tank transportation services for the oil drilling industry. The Company, through its subsidiary, FFE Transportation Services, Inc. ("FFE") recently began hauling fresh water to drill sites for a major driller in West Texas. FFE is expanding this service and has placed orders for 25 specialty tank trailers to support this expansion.
"We've studied the frac water transportation market for some time and believe new drilling technologies have created opportunities for secular growth in bulk tank transportation services. Due to the 24/7 nature of drilling operations, equipment utilization rates are very high and present attractive return characteristics," said Russell Stubbs, President and CEO of FFE. "We estimate that these new services could add $30 million to $35 million in incremental annual gross revenue providing a significant margin contribution."
