<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToiletDuck071, post: 358041, member: 14718&quot;]I worked for Lisa in &#039;03-&#039;05 behind a desk. They do run nationwide, and they are refers. Everything from produce out West to swinging meat from the plains to Hershey&#039;s to beer out of Golden, CO &amp; stuff all the way into Canada. The only dedicated guys I remember had been there 12+ years and were all pulling swinging meat. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They are part of Conwell Corporation, the parent company for FFE, American Eagle, &amp; Nordic. Lisa falls under that umbrella as well. Lisa bought GW and still have a few of their trailers left. Lisa will at times pull FFE trailers and FFE will at times pull Lisa trailers. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was appalled at some of the trainers they had. But that was a handfull. The rest were pretty good trainers. All do have to qualify to be a trainer, some get there earlier than a year if they have prior experience. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Their dispatch is by region. You are assigned a fleet manager, and get assigned a more permanent one after you&#039;ve been there a while. Home time is good, just let them know in advance. They run mostly Freightliner Centuries, sometimes they try out T2000s or Internationals....or at least they did when I was there. They are self insured, and you&#039;d have to be asleep to destroy a refer load anyways. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They&#039;ve got people that have been there 25+ years, so it can&#039;t be all that bad. They just went through a management change &amp; things are clicking along well from what I&#039;m hearing. Safety is farmed out to FFE employees and if you have problems with someone trying to get you to cook your books, just visit with them &amp; it will get ironed out FAST. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They hire mostly Texas, but I&#039;ve seen them hire Florida, Washington, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, California. That&#039;s where most of their freight is. They did have a team from FL, MI &amp; NY when I was there. They even had a French Canadian there, too. They have one official local driver that delivers &amp; loads &amp; moves trailers out of their MAIN YARD: Fort Worth. They use FFE yards all over the country, too for trailers. Lots of no-touch freight, about 25% live load &amp; 75% is pre-loaded waiting for you. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think if you can keep your nose clean &amp; take care of a truck &amp; run miles (which is what we all say we want to do), you will do fine here. If you have any questions, just give me a shout!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, and I&#039;m not a recruiter. I run grain trucks in the TX Panhandle now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
