I know there starting pay is lower than most but from what my friend says you get a couple of raises your first year. When I find exact numbers I'll post. Thank you and good luck to you to. Hope it all works wherever you end up.

I went thru FFE. Training was good imo. I drove for 5 years prior and had to start over. Been with them for past year. Starting with prime next week. FFE is a starter/training company now. But do what's right for you and yours. Good luck.

Im sad about the prime #### cause i wanted to lease so bad. But i guess it will be better for me to learn on somebody elses truck then #### mine up lol ima look into FFE i forgot all about them, im glad i come here cause i get a ton of companies from people, also tips. I dont really listen to the bad stuff people say cause who knows if its true. Good luck at prime, ill be there in a year or less. They told me yes but I had that job fire me earlier tthisyear but they said in 5 months of employment somewhere else

Repairs can make or break you. My company recently had to shell out over $8400 on my truck due to a bad DPF. That was for repairs, a truck rental to finish my run and pick up a reload and my motel room for 2 nights.
I know I sure didn't have $8400 in my bank account if it were my truck. -
#### thats a lot. Ima be a company driver for a hear ir 2 so i can save up money for them just in case moments. My wife has a good job so all the money i make will be put to the truck(business). I been doing a ton of thinking and writing a budget and looking up prices of tires and everything else so I a good price range of what it would cost. I plan on having 15,000 in the bank before I even sign a lease cause like I said my wife has a good job so all the money I get is mainly going toward saving and help if she runs low at home. Ima run as hard as I can til I get 15,000 in the bank and I think I should be good. I planned on saving to buy a brand new truck but that would take too long.

Too many guys jump into leases without any cash on hand and find themselves in a huge hole when something on that lease truck decides to.stop working.
