    & [/QUOTE]My brother worked for them for about Five Months. Brought the Truck back and quit. Said he couldn't make any money. He was leasing [/QUOTE]

    What both these folks said is true. I made that mistake. Trainer was a nasty female that didn't shower for 8 or 9 days at a time (I lost count), kept the truck filthy (I tried to keep it at least passable), didn't really have a clue about training anyone (in 2 months I backed maybe 6 times and pretripped ZERO times), and said she absolutely was outta there as soon as I was done training or quit, whichever (But on their updated website, she's one of the testimonials of what a good company they are and how she's so happy). I also had a buddy start as a L/O at the same time I started class. He worked 2 weeks and made NEGATIVE $$$$$ both weeks. Stay away from them and PRIME also. Prime has a bad reputation because of some bad stunts they pulled back in the day and also how they treat drivers now. You are just a body to put in a truck to both these companies.

    If that was a barb aimed at me, I only worked for Wil-Trans. Never said I worked for FFE. Was only looking at their company, but they don't hire in my area. I can (and did) only comment on how I and a friend of mine were treated, as opposed to some of the people on this site. Thanks for the comment.

    Well... I did drive for them for about 6 weeks (nonstop with a trainer that lived in the truck). Everything that was already said is true. I was told I would be home in three weeks after orientation. After 6 weeks on the road with a trainer they told me they were not going to do solo anymore and had to do team. When my old boss asked if I was ready to come back to work I jumped on the invite. They were pissed when I told them I wasnt comeing back and they wanted me to give notice. This was the only job I quit without notice because I knew they would not get me home.

    I dont think they are still in business. Unless they moved.
