that may have changed now. but i am 90 percent certain. but we are talking people with recent experience. beleave it was in the last year. the training came down to just peoplenet and teaching the ffe rules and stuff.

lol, Well let me put it this way. I don't want to put my foot in my mouth. I am sure i have not forgotten everything. And as far as learning the ffe way... do they train drivers with exp with a trainer to learn the ffe way. All i am saying here is. If my trainer says Hey SHE can drive, why wouldn't ffe test me out and not waste time. However i am going into this with the mind set of 2 weeks in school and 6 with a trainer. I am glad for the refresher in school but i don't see needing the whole 6 weeks but it's paid so i will go with the flow.

I have not been in a seat in 4 years. But hey i will keep y'all updated as things happen. I'm going into school with the mind set of a noob. I know nothing... teach me ooooooooooooooo smart one.
And if y'all have a chance to stop by after the 17 th we will be the two chicks. Bigger build. one with sunglasses and one with reg glasses. We would love to meet y'all -
that is the right additude to have. i still teach my father a thing or two from time to time and he has 30 plus years in a seat. those people at the acadamy know what they are doing and are great people also. listen to waht they say and soak it all in and you will be good. the reason that they give for the 6 weeks minimum is for insurance reason. we are a self insured company but they still have to do things like that. me, i upgraded early but they no longer do it simply because a student that was upgraded 2 weeks early decided to take out a car with 2 kids and a mother in it her FIRST WEEK driving solo. no body seriously hurt but she wasn't ready and the trainer rushed her out. neither of them are here any more subsaquintly. yea the time sucks but stay out with it. it will halp knock the rust off ya very well. hope i get a chance to roll through the yard while yall are there. just look for a fool with ALLOT of alabama crimson tide stuff on his truck. its a volvo.

my worst fears are that only Trans Am wants me with all my old warts from the 80's I have been clean and sober over 11 years now but was no angel in my youth I have had recruiters hang up on me when they see drug charges shouldnt they be forgiven after 25 years, hell my first wife isn't mad at me anymore
-
i am with you there. i have had my run ins with the stuff but thankfully it was 18 years ago and never got busted for it so i didn't have to worrie about it, it is worth a shot to try our recruiters. the most they can say is no. wish u luck on there. it is tough out running your past some times.
-
That explains a lot.
-
thanks spat.
-
i am shocked that spat didn't break the news because i know he is getting a laugh out of this. my volvo is to nose heavy to train in and it looks like i will have to give her up to stay a trainer. i love my baby, and i may have to hurt somebody if the scratch her. she has been good to me for the last 26000 miles.
driftjunke24 Thanks this. -
WOW 26000 miles in how long?? NICEEEEE
That's to bad i like the volvo's but we will be a team so i guess we won't get one.
