    Your best bet would be to contact them. I really don't know about the refresher.

    Sorry for the late replies, been busy lol. Miles range anywhere between 1500 - 3000, my checks range between 500 - 950 / week as a truckload company driver. Starting out expect to make less as you learn to plan your routes, manage time and get lost less. I drive a 2013 International Prostart (2nd truck, first one was a real piece of #### haha 2009 Freightliner Sentry). Dont let other drivers get you down, learn to deal with the frustrations you will face out here and not let it affect your driving. And now, after working here for 7 months i enjoy it. Ive read a lot of the other posts about how FFE screws drivers, makes you run illegal, etc. I can only say it is what you make of it, ive been asked to run illegal, seen the unrealistic delivery times, and gotten plenty of attitude from dispatch. In response to this I fill out delay in transits via peoplenet, said no, and stopped calling in and just used peoplenet messages instead of dealing with them over the phone. The hardest part you face out here, and im beginning to realize that it isnt just with FFE, is learning to handle frustation and stay calm enough to make intelligent decisions. With that, you will do great.
