    Well, today was my first day # the new FFE Academy. At first sight it is a cool place. The campus is clean, the offices look professional, and the instructors are cool so far. The greeting speech was given by Mark Rhea, a nice guy with a good presence, and a good attitude about his academy and its direction. The first day was kind of exhausting due to the fact that most of us 15 or so students got there the afternoon before after a tortuous ride with greyhound. And it was. And we found out about our "homework" when we got there that entailed almost 150+ questions.! Due the next morning. My roomate"Spatt" and I forced ourselves to study until the late hours. Gotta study some more so I will add more later. More studying.

    Good info with everything I've read from your posts and I'm glad to hear it's going well. I will be starting the academy the week of 6/20, kinda jumping back into trucking after 3yrs off. Since I've only really driven flatbed is it difficult getting unloaded at docks?, how is e-logging and is it difficult to slide a tandem? Otherwise the academy I have no problem in completing. Appreciate any and all assistance
