    I put in an online app with this company and was hoping someone here is a driver for them now or was recently. Can't seem to find too much on them and would like some first hand knowlage from a driver. They "look good on paper" but, as we all know.......Info like what a driver with 5yrs exp.(mostly flatbed) no accidents or speeding tickets would start out at for pay / truck speed / avg miles / length of hauls / running lanes ect.....Any info will be greatly appreciated.

    FTC, You talking about Feed The Children Transportation out of Oklahoma City? Have you called them?

    If this is the one I no nothing about their trucking business but like some (not all) religious non profit organizations someone abuses the offering plate and gets greedy so I don't have much use for the founder or his son. Last I heard they are no longer a part of it but the legal battle continues.

    I just fot approved to work at ftc, they said my pay rate would be .34/mile with a penny increase if I stay out longer than two weeks. They run miles if u wanna run but they use peoplenet electronic logs. I told them I'd call them back if I was still interested.

    Right, Peoplenet is fairly cutting edge.

    Text to speech. Scan without leaving the cab. Watch training lessons. Gain even more control over routes with In-Cab Navigation integrated with dispatch. PeopleNet BLU.2 is powerful performance right in the cab. The BLU open platform lets you easily configure your system. Combined with high bandwidth access to PeopleNet's innovative applications, BLU.2 allows drivers to break free from inefficiencies, so they can make a bigger contribution to the bottom line. Don't settle for incremental business improvement - take your performance above and beyond the rest with PeopleNet BLU.2.
