The New FFE Driver Academey

Every coast. This is a lower 48 company, and I've been to 25 States in 6 weeks. We have a LTL terminal in Burlington, NJ. Not sure where else, but I've been to Philly and the Bronx so far. I know MachoCyclone has seen more East coast than me. I've mainly been SE, been across Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas more than once.

 

I want to add one ore thing about OTR. There WILL be times when you will be bored out of your skull. I brought my laptop and my droid phone, and also bought a book at walmart. Downtime is the time to get your road homework done, and you can also take the time to clean the windows and interior of the truck. The truck stops usually have a driver's lounge with a TV, some even have movie theaters. Most also have wifi, but you have to pay around $20 a month, which I did in addition to my trainer's mifi, and my mobile hotspot on my droid. We have internet of some fashion regardless of where we are, so I keep the friends and family back home informed of my adventures out here.

 

Good posts wingnut Thanks

 

The east coast i saw was new jersey, new york, vermount, mass. and ct. I have actually spent more time running in and out of Nebraska at the meat plants here in Grand Island. There is a trailer wash out off of Stuhr road that is owned by Grand Island Express that FFE has a contract with for washouts. You have a drop and hook...then you can just drop the trailer at the washout and they will wash it out and take it across the street to the meat plant when its done.

My trainer told me today that we will be heading back to Lancaster soon so I can upgrade.

 

Spending the night at Iowa 80 truck stop then into Chicago in the morning,all I have to say is truck stop internet sucks,slow as crap it ain't worth the money they charge, thats my rant for the evening, I'm going to bed.

 

I just use the internet on my phone. I dont buy the wifi at truck stops

 

Does anyone know how to print out Peoplenet logs? I have looked through all of my documentation from orientation and I can't seem to find the instructions.

 

FFE has a deal with Sprint to get internet access for $16 a week. All you do is sign a paper and they give you the device which is already set up. I looked around and no one offers unlimited access for that price. The service is truly unlimited, with no throttling. T-mobile says they offer unlimited, but I think they throttle after 10GB.

I have used the device for about two weeks and I have not had any issues.

 

roadrunner they have the sheets in lancaster to tell you how to do it but its best to put it on a flash drive they keep your logs for 6 months so you need to do it at least twice a year and you will need it for your perdiem deduction on income tax , the lady at lancaster told me you really shouldnt try to print it on paper cause it would be too much just keep it on a flash drive

 

Actually, all I want to do is see how many miles I drove during my training. I am trying to fill in some missing information on my driver progress log. My last trainer did not do what he was supposed to do. I would hate to have to go back out because of his laziness.

I really hated training. I could write a book describing all the BS I had to put up with, but I will just let it go
