The New FFE Driver Academey

hows those midnight deliverys going, and those lumbers still a pain or what

 

Sounds pretty good, almost too good. Where is the school? how long does it take to earn your cdl at the school? Any out of pocket costs for DOT etc? Do they also provide meals while housed for training? I appreciate any info. Thanks, Tim

 

when i was at transam before the lease deal, only company trucks, most of all loads delivered between 10:00 pm and 5 am, is ffe deliverys more doing day than night, and i would prefer full truckload than that LTL frieght, i did see one ffe prostar truck here in pittsburgh,pa. a few weeks ago on carson street heading to mckeesrocks, also looking into millis transfer all kenworth fleet, work there back in 96, can get home every two weeks, i think ffe is 3 to 4 weeks

 

As per my recruiter:

1) Length of School:
a) 18 days, or 2 weeks and 4 days (Each class will start on Monday)
b) 66 hours-Classroom; 44 hours 15 minutes–Range; 29 hours 45 minutes-Street/Road
and:

Student Pay
All trainees will be paid $455 per week while on the truck with a trainer once you are an FFE employee. You will be out with a trainer for 6 weeks.

After upgrade to a solo driver:
.29cpm - for the first 6 months
.30cpm - 6-12months
.31cpm – at 1 year

Hope this helps, Mrs. Denton!

 

whats there idle policy, do they plan on APU'S in the future if they don't have them now

 

millis transfer pay to start no experience, 33 cents base on practical route miles non per diem, 35 cents per HHG route miles, idle if you need too policy

 

Here at ffe the have the omni idle(or equivalent by truck make) so it is automatic depending on the temp in your truck. Just think of it like your heat/ac at home. U set it and the engine will turn on and cool as needed.

 

Hey everyone quick question- how hard is it to take 2 days off 4 months into employment with FFE? I rarely ask for time off but in October both my brothers are getting married and I'm in both weddings. Would FFE understand a time off request that or not? If not, should i delay my start with FFE until November!
