    Dot Transportation in Hialeah has "warehouse to driver" program.

    Man I wanna say white and with an eagle or American flag colors but I might be wrong about that. Thanks!

    FFE has 3 schools. Jackson, MS, Burns Harbor, In, and Lancaster (Dallas), TX. They have dorms & provide meals. They have a 1 yr contract but if you don't finish the year it is pro-rated.

    Pay for new drivers w/ no experience start at $0.50 a mile for Linehaul (OTR)

    My husband & I have never had a problem w/ getting off time. Actually, when my husband was on the truck w/ his trainer he became ill. He was hospitalized for two weeks. Had 1 1/2 months off to recover (was in constant contact w/ company). After he was cleared from a Dr. they put him w/ a local trainer for a week then he upgraded.

    After he was solo for a month his mother had surgery & needed someone w/ her for a week. They approved his time off.

    We were shocked he wasn't let go. Thank goodness after that we didn't have anything else pop up.

    We have never had a problem w/ the dispatchers either. They have always treated us w/ respect.

    If you want to know more let me know. I will try to answer your questions.

    Raven Transport in Jax, FL? Their logo is not an eagle, but many would think that's what it is. To the best of my knowledge, you have to have 3 months' experience and would be put with a trainer for a while. That may have changed in the last year or so.

    I used to work for YRC and sometimes we pulled Swift trailers. So, it happens on occasion.

    Oh, that's my trucking company. Sorry but I'm the only employee. I can't give out the name in the interest of protecting the innocent.
