Question about FFE

Use the search box for FFE Driver Academy. I read every single page before I committed. I was just there this afternoon picking up an empty trailer, nothing seems to have changed in the 6 1/2 months since I went through it. It's a starter company. Do your time, gain some experience, then move on to bigger and better things.

Did the search for ya, enjoy.

 

Company "policy" is every 3 weeks, with 1 day for every week. I am single, no kids, no pets, everything in storage, etc., so I go home every 6-8 weeks. But I think I'm going to trim that down a little to every 4-6 weeks. Max time is 5 days from what I've heard, but I've never asked for more than 4.

 

The newer Prostars have them but not the Freightliners. Your comfort is not high on the priority list at FFE.

 

To be completely honest, I don't keep track. I just make sure I get paid for the loads I deliver. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say 2500ish.

 

I'm currently employed with the company and have had a good experience so far. I would suggest reading the fine print. They have been straight up about everything they have said. No surprises or bs. Ask questions when you talk to a recruiter. Know if you want to do OTR, LTL, regional aor local ahead of time. If you go through the academy you'll more than likely be going OTR. Have those issues worked about before you sign on the dotted line.
