The New FFE Driver Academey

i been lagging on joining ffe (i talked to mickey) only because i gotta handle some financial stuff right now, but by reading the latest responses to this topic, i wanna go on board with them already.

 

I have a couple Questions. First, I was wondering if you, Playmaker or anyone else who drives for the company, could tell me the pay rate out of training. Second, I am NOT a skinny dude. I was going to go with Prime but they have super strict standards on BMI. I am 6'1" 325lbs. YES I know I am overweight and its something I am working on. I was just wondering if as of now, FFE has any BMI reqs. Thanks for any info. I already applied and now just looking to hear from a recruiter who will hopefuly be able to set me up for about mid July.

 

i think its .29 cents a mile out of training - wow! ur from tyler? my brother lives in tyler! crazy

 

just wondering - i saw ffe truck south 15 before summit ave tuesday around 2:30pm, today around 6:38am north on the 15 before cleghorn avenue, and again today while talking to one of the recruiters around 1:18pm on west 210 before lone hill avenue and before 605 fwy. wondering if thats anybody on here.

 

did u sign the contract urself? then how can u know for a fact....

 

im not sure if i should put the info i recieved by email by one of the recruiters?! will i get in trouble with the company if im a prospect?

 

whats the pay per mile after 1 year, would they get you home every 2 weeks, living here in pittsburgh,pa or is it 3 weeks thats a deal braker, got grass to cut and that dam mail box ya now, thanks

 

make the step-children cut the grass,

and they make a mailbox that mounts on your catwalk...........

 

I've heard some pretty good things about FFE, espcially with Playmakers updates on this forum. Personally I love flatbedding so with a van company it probably wont work for me. I'm getting back in the game and will have to go through their school to do it. I've heard it's .29cpm out of training, hometime is pretty much the same wherever you go, and the ups and downs will be about the same. Anyone looking to get in has to remember with no upfront fees, free housing, schooling (1yr commitment) 3 week course not all a bad deal for a noob. Hopefully potential students utilize the time to get better and learn this business of trucking. Good luck and drive safe!
