yeah i was in germany, as a civilian government army contractor. I was in the kaiserslautern area mostly, but spent time all over, homburg, mannheim. mostly southwestern (shwarzewald-black forest) area. great times. good people. i could still be there now but i decided to quit my job and come back here to get some Hauling/ommercial driving under my belt, in case i did decide to go back yearsss later i could pick up something over there (what a dream). but anyways. haha yea i figured about the ticket, that was my bad, and i actually forgot about it till i got IDed here and the officer let me know about the traffic warrant. it will be cleared up.

but yea primasens was real close and i have a bunch of friends that still live in hiedleburg. (sp). yeah its pretty muc between FFE and stevens right now. stevens sounds like a good company, and they "advertise"(says the recruiter, smh) all new trucks and equipment.. which is nice but in training im making 350 a week, and then about 1000 once im on the road a pay check. im just looking for someone that has actually gone with stevens cause i know plenty that went threw FFE. just curious how there experience/what they have to say about this company.
- awww you just made me miss Deutschland! fickkkkkk -
as far as the plate in the hip goes. ill be fine securing loads and what not, regardless of the injury most of my past work has been logistics and warehouse work for the government. lifes life and i think im pretty tough. #### it just didnt want to be excessively doing it. or a on a constant, i rather just focus on driving -
okay well as far as it goes now. im in between FFE or Stevens. any suggestions anyone ever been with stevens?? it seems like there training program is top notch and all there trucks are T2000s (so they claim) training and OTR, nothing 17months older. which is a nice plus. but as far as customer/potential driver service i got today over the phone. FFE was friendly and would help me in a kind way till i understood fully, as to where i called stevens(and i understand they are busy-she kept putting me on hold) all i ended up getting is long pauses on the phone when i asked them why i should choose them over FFE (lol, i mean they are requiters that is there job might as well make them work for it) she end up just saying im really busy whats your email address, and ended up sending me a bunch of videos i could have easily pulled up on YouTube, most of which werent even relevant to the training program and where subject of the corporate side of things... ahhh frustrating. ive pretty interested in FFE, yet with stevens they also do international trans, which is bad### if you ask me, plus the fact that all there equipment is under 2 years old. and info to differentiate between the two would be greatly appreciated.
