    FFE hires from private schools and also has their own in Mississippi, Texas & Burns Harbor, Indiana.
    Probably also hire from Tampa Truck Driving School.

    Why are you trying to avoid a mega carrier? @Chinatown gave you an all star lineup for real.

    Good question. I don't understand that either.
    I couldn't care less if people in the office know my name or not; what difference does that make?
     
    Smut Thanks this.

    I'm the same way. All companies are the same anyway. Tell me where it picks up and tell me what time it needs to deliver, and I'm cool. That's the only conversation needed to have with the office people.
     
    Chinatown and Wasted Thyme Thank this.

    I know every company has its negatives trust me but I’d like try to get one somewhere where maybe I won’t have to think about leaving if I don’t necessarily have to. If I could stay with the company i start with then that’d be great. That’s why I’d like to get the best options to start out with.
     
    Chinatown and Vic Firth Thank this.

    Well....let me tell you this: folks can come on here and give you opinions on companies. I rarely give mine on a company because I haven't worked for many of them. A person who has worked there may or not have a good experience there. Yours will be completely different. If you have options, weigh them based on what's important to you. For me, its freight base. I don't care about incentives and accessory pay. I only worry about what's going in my bank account each Friday. Freight impacts that directly. I want steady freight and good miles. Everything else will take care of itself.

    Will definitely keep that in mind in regards to freight. I do see a lot of negatives about every company that’s why I figure if I posted on here I could get some people who give the real spill or at least hope to get It. And I know that everyone has the different experiences. Really just looking for stuff like pay home time things that I can’t find on the websites

    Now there are some drivers that have a negative review on every company they drive for. Many drivers cant make it anywhere. Let me ask you this, what do the recruiters say? They will all sell you pipe dreams, but which one sounds the best?
     
    ThomasTrucker21 Thanks this.

    I’ve only talked to wel but this was a few years ago. I was gonna start driving but a job offer that kept me home unfortunately It still isn’t cutting It as far as pay. I will start to cal recruiters this week and see what they have to say.
     
    Vic Firth Thanks this.
