    yes, we are on e-logs.
    nothing to worry about.
    i'm an OLD TIME OUTLAW and i happen to like them.

    Yes, it is better at FFE than swift.
    there are plenty of 10, 15, 20 year drivers here who agree.

    Don't even come to FFE if you plan to just leave.
    Already got enough wheelholders messing up equipment then bailing.
     
    THE PLAYMAKER and treyzguy Thank this.

    I did notice that.

    He has a whole thread under the DAC section for Werner where he chronicles his time with Werner. Frightening thing is it looks like he found yet another company to hire him.

    You were on that bus? ####! Your lucky to be alive. I'm flying down there. No way am I spending 24 hours on a bus. Been there, seen that movie. I'll take a 2 hour flight over that anytime, plus, FFE will reimburse the cost of a bus ticket so you get $100 off your flight anyway. To anyone flying down to DFW, you can add a shuttle service to your ticket for $20 and be dropped at the hotel. I think FFE will reimburse that also.

    was suppose to get back in the fleid this year but the factory i work at just won't go belly up, at 12.50 per hour its easy money for vary easy work, so may not join yens till maybe this spring when things cool off there in dallas, 105 degrees,and the economy is slowing down again, QUESTION, whats the average length of haul there less than one thousand or a tad more for full truck load (NOT LESS THAN TRUCK LOAD) here in pittsburgh,pa. no more than 2 weeks out, heard they like you out 3 weeks,is that true, maybe by next spring the pay will be much better, millis transfer is .35 per mile anywhere from 400 to 800 miles per trip, mostly wis. to new york, ma. to nc, then back to wis, i'm hopein ffe is more longer like to pa or jersey than back to tx and back, but being reefer, if like transam most deliverys are very late at night or very early 3 or 4 in the morning, but there all meat loads, yours are well don't know, and your from ms, so your runs can be very differant routes than one from pa. or ohio driver, as you can see the north east can burn you out fast thats why the 35 cents and kenworth fleet, but for .29 cents and maybe over 1 thousand miles per trip you can see the pay cut can be worth it, MAYBE, thanks, i believe thats 2 questions there miles per trip and some nasty delivery times
