    FFE has a terminal in Lancaster. They give you a room and 3 square a day while you are in school. You owe them a year of driving once you graduate. If you are willing to work they have some accounts that will pay you very well for a first year driver. Its hard work, but if hard work doesn't scare you then you will be well off.

    Otherwise, if you just want to drop/hook and drive solo then you can linehaul which pays about 800 a week average.

    Translation: you will run your ### off, not make any decent money and realize that you don't fit in, as with not being part of the 'diversity and inclusion' crowd.

    Yes, you will run your ### off. No doubt absolutely. Driving itself is an overtime job. Then on top of that you will load your own trailer, part time, in a reefer that's -25. Depend on your route you'll earn anywhere from 1300-2000 a week, average about 1500. You will have money for yourself and family if you are hurting and willing to work it will be a good thing for you.

    Translation: Don't do it. You will work as described and have nothing to show for it. If you don't know the term 'professional shill', you soon will.
