    Ok- some of you know me.. I am DANGER. I promised when I started into my adventure to blog what happened. And to give anyone interested a chance to get a view through the eyes of someone who actually went through the new school. Just a little info on me and how I did in the school. I recieved A's in driving and bookwork I am not with the company and I did not recieve my cdl from FFE, BUT I DID GRADUATE. so anyhow here is the link to my blog. I hope that this will give much needed information to anyone looking to attend. You would tend to believe that I would not recomend this school for anyone after what I went through. But I believe that it goes by the persons personality. I am very very strong willied and outspoken. That type of person who does not go with the flow very easily will have a harder time at FFE school then a person who is very passive. Here is the link hope you enjoy.

    Great Blog Danger! I wish you the best of luck with your driving test. You are a very strong person and I know you"ll do just fine. Great example of doing what needs to be done. Never let them get you down.
    Im heading to FFE on the 20th, your story is inspiring.
    Thanks

    You know, I'm the last one to suggest a lawsuit - but it seems that she should contact the EEOC regarding possible discrimination by FFE against the female students. The fact that they are housed separately in off-site housing and are denied some of the benefits that the on-campus housing provides simply because they are female is something that I think EEOC will frown on. I'm fairly certain that action would be taken.

    Thank you both, I am just trying to make people more aware. I wish I would have known all of this before I went. I did pass my CDL test and am now a class A cdl holder with combination vehicle and air brakes. I wish you both the best. I really have no ill feelings towards FFE to be honest. I dont like what happened but it was a lesson learned.

    ok so I went to orientation I am going to be a flatbedder next week. which is what I really wanted to do in the first place. I will not disclose the company becuase I believe in jynxing oneself. FFE was very very very very very hard to get my drug screen info from my new company fought and fought. Till I stepped in and blew up FFE's phones then whala I had my stuff. I had to come back after orientation and after my AWESOME road test becuase they could not code me as a driver because of the drug screen. Soo all has been handled so far and I am supposed to attented tie down class for two days and then I will be leaving with my mentor. So all in all I am very happy that I got screwed over by FFE becuase I did not want to haul a noisy stinky reefer anyhow. So now I get to do what I always wanted to do. I will try to post pictures and keep everyone updated best I can.
