Furniture Row Express

This is a 4 day 390 miler for me. Thank God for my retirement income!

 

Its delivered and my PTA for this morning was submitted. I will remind greg of my layover today.

Yes I recruited him into here. Doliver has been with FRE for over two years so he knows very well of what we speak.

 

Hi all! I've been reading your exchanges for the last few days and it seems this company started as a great place but may have gone downhill lately. I've been speaking with one of your recruiters to, possibly, drive for FRE. I was told the equipment was some if the best and I could expect in excess of 10k miles a month. Is this the case or am I being led on? I'm in the Tulsa, OK area and was told that I would have loads through the house often as well as home every 10-14 days. Is this what I should expect? How is the health insurance? Is it reasonably priced? Thanks for your patience with all of my questions, I'm always nervous about going somewhere new, especially when it sounds too good. How fast are the trucks? Thanks for any advice and information. I'm assuming orientation is in Denver but have yet to hear if its paid. I was told they provide transportation (greyhound I presume) and "housing" at orientation. What kind of housing should I expect and will there be roommates?

 

Sounds like I picked a good week to come home. I knew it was going to be a nightmare when robin said she was taking off for a week

 

Platinum! how are you gonna send me a PM and not have PM's enabled >.< either that or your box is full slacker

 

Hey WHB, Even with all the Hitchen, its still better than most the companys I've driven for. But to Each his own. Orintation is not paid, La Quinta inn on tower rd is where you will stay,Its really nice. You don't share a room, they will more than likely fly you in cause its cheaper than Bus. The trucks are good but just depends on the guy who had it before you, if he took care of it or not, some run 65 otheres run 67. I timed mine on my last trip and it was running 68 on flat ground accross I70. Insurance dont kick in for 6 mths so I don't know about that. I avg 12000 a mth on milage some weeks less some weeks more, they have made some management changes lately and still don't have the bugs worked out yet, thats why it seems so disorganised, Sorry about my spelling I didnt finish sckool I skipped most of my high sckool days lol

 

Thanks for the reply, frogman! I appreciate the info. As far as your spelling, no worries. There's more important things to do than judge someone's education. Thank god for spell check. Hell, I went to college and still ended up driving. What's wrong with that picture? Lol. The sad thing is driving pays better than most degreed positions. Seems like I should give it a shot. How many days does orientation last?
