A Place for FFE Drivers to Keep in Touch

3 weeks is what they tell you but if you dont speak up they will never send u home as for the layovers 4-5 a year is bs you will get 1-3 a month if you visit meat farms

 

well your right about the hometime lol they still have the if you dont ask we wont tell you rule --- i just never had to wait at the meat patch that long only once past 24 hours --- a lot of 12 - 22 hour waits so i know the wallmarts in plainview,grandisland and ft. morgan pretty good --- dodge city has the boot hill casino --- friona is a hole--- ottumwa i end up waiting at the plant -- maybe i am just lucky about 1 in 4 are ready when i get there --- that potatoe place in dallas is what i hate and the southern hen plant in miss----

 

well another thing about home time is about a third of the OTR drivers have questionable residencys --- which mean they live in there truck -- including me and half the people from my class --- so i am home every night -- i use my moms addy so i still can get the per diem, i didnt see any sense in paying for someplace i am never at--- and banking money now --- i stay with a girlfriend most of the time when i do go home -- but being not married and no kids that makes sense ---so a day here and there is enough for me -- was home for 5 days at christmas and that was 2 days to much

 

I hate shippers warehouse in Dallas. Always crowded, hard to turn around and every time I'm there it's 4+ hours to load me.

 

Anyone know how to do a parked regen on a 2011 prostar with the Cummings? Breakdown line sure as #%*+ don't.

 

Your Prostar doesn't have a Parked Regen switch on the dash? My '13 does (as does every other Prostar I've driven regardless of motor, which is a lot as I used to work for Ryder slip seating).

 

talk about regens and the post dies lol

 

Well.. Back to life it comes. I'm heading to Illinois to drop off a McDonald's meat load. No preplan yet. Where's the next poster heading?

 

Delivering in the AM at Affiliated Foods, Amarillo. Then off to Friona to pick up a load that I will take to Costco Wholesale in Sumner, WA.
