    i find it funny when i look back at the start of this thread. so many people coming in and saying that "you'll change your tune in 6 months about that company".... so how has your tune changed there playmaker. must be miserable here. i mean how dare they give you a nice new truck. what is their problem, letting someone that will hate the company train and help others start their career. what is the deal with this company only giving you around 3000 miles, how is that going to make you money... makes me laugh because i have been here for 3 months now, thanks to your thread, and i have never been happier at a job other then the old fire department and i am glad i found this company. every company has its problems including this one but the good far outweighs the bad. keep on rolling man and keep up the good work.

    I am glad y'all are doing good Tigger. There are some who will make it, others while trying to stay upbeat won't. I wish I could tell other people why it worked that way, but I don't have a clue.

    Will TIGGER my attitude is still the same as the day I first started this thread, positive. And yes at times I don't understand some things that they do but I deal with it in a positive manner. I have met many people on here and at company. Yes they have made me so mad that I could chew nails, but I kept my mouth shut and did my job. I am sorry for the class that came through that didnt get trucks, was a bad time for FFE. Now being a trainer I have a new goal, to help my students ( there not trainees on my truck. Trainees are something that you pat their head and teach them to sit), help them to see that you can be a professional driver with a good attitude. I will still be here in another 6 months and will give another update. To all my running buddies SIR SPAT, REDNECKTIGGER, TEDDYBEAR, and all that has came to the school thank you for keeping this thread alive and kickin. Be safe Gentleman and keep the dirty side down.

    Should be a good game! Hopefully we get done with training before the good games come on.

    I have given up football for the season, my team never showed up for the 2nd half.:biggrin_2553: Now I am scared of what next season will look like:biggrin_2551::biggrin_2553:

    Tigger, I just had the worst luck with FFE both tries. I attempted to keep a positive attitude like y'all but after a while it just turns into i'm tired of getting screwed. I'm with Conway (right now sitting on an extended wait), and so far I am very happy. I can say that I am ALOT more impressed by our shop people than with FFE. I used to get grilled over needing repairs there, here they just say get it taken care of.
