    Hello Chefy79 and the Group:


    No, unfortunately, they probably don't let You break up the Training into 3 weeks and 3 weeks, unless You have some really big problems at home.

    They will let You Test out early though if You are ready to do It.

    I've been talking to FFE and applied a few days ago. The pet policy is -100lbs no deposit, however it will cost you .01 per mile. So, for less than $25 bucks a week I can have my best friend with me. Worth it IMO.

    I see that you are a student so.....
    1. It would be foolish for you to consider drive to own straight out of school. It is much wiser to start as a company driver and get experience.
    2. FFE will not allow you to lease until you have at minimum six months experience.
