Drivers Reviews / Frozen Food Express

We get it. You don't like FFE. You keep regurgitating the same info on all current FFE threads. At this point it's cut and paste.

 

I am a driver and a person who knows how to spell. I'm not a paid blogger, I'm tired of reading your exact same post over and over. Give it a rest. I don't care if you love or hate ffe.

 

As a past driver for FFE, I too am fed up with the quality of this once fine carrier. I drove with this company for many years, but had to take care of my Mom and brother after they were in a car accident. Years later when I decide to come back to trucking I came back to FFE. What the heck happened? FFE used to be a great company, they knew me by name, they got me home on time, when I requested a load somewhere they did their best to get me there. Now FFE is a the joke of the industry. When I call them for something, the first thing out of their mouths is, "What's your truck number?" When I put something in on the Peoplenet-which is another nightmare-it literally takes at least an hour before anyone responds to my request. When I requested to go to Reno, Nevada, to visit my Mom and Brother, FFE routed me to Denver, Colorado. No where near where I wanted to go, and I asked FFE at least a half dozen times. The driving academy is a joke. For the entire time you are there you are one your own. The only thing they offer is a place to sleep. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR OWN FOOD FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS. Those who fail or get demoted need to fend for themselves even longer than that. The pay is horrible. You start out at 29 cents per mile-other companies start out at at least 32 cents per mile. The only saving grace from FFE is that I made a lot of great friends while I was there and we still stay in touch. If you are ever in the Pismo Beach, California area and need a place to stay the night, give me a call you are always welcome.

 

He is just doing his duty to protect the rest of the drivers veterans and rookies and CB Rambo's which it sounds like you are, about the evils of FFE. I would like to know who you drive for, and what kind of things they try to screw you out of. FFE screwed me out of $150. They say it was for a lumper's fee, but I turned in all my receipts with all the necessary info, yet they still took my money.

 

I've been with FFE for 6 months and am turning my truck in tomorrow. I really don't have much bad to say about the company, it is what it is, and that is a starter company. My main beef is with the food transportation industry as a whole, and the insane wait times. I wasn't out bombing every trucking company with applications, I just happen to have a friend who drives for someone else and got my foot in the door. Starts at .38/cpm with a .02/cpm safety bonus, .02/cpm profit sharing, and a dedicated Laredo to either Michigan or Indiana run. Couldn't pass it up.

I wasn't real crazy about doing the lower 48, either. No more Donner, no more Cabbage, no more upper East coast, etc. I can live with that just fine.
