The New FFE Driver Academey

Well, i think this post was uncalled for. I was looking forward to meeting you since your post was what got me started. We were excited to be called upon by the company, and I am sure if they thought we couldnt do the job, we wouldnt be here, much less hauling swinging meat across country.
Being called dumb is retarted. We took our time, drove safe, and delivered our orders days early. So, what ego you talking about? The fact we are excited our company has faith in us? The fact we tested high? To be challenged to do something we never trained for, and did it?
To be proud is not a bad thing. It is motivating us to do better.
We did get delayed at the meat plant for 7 hours, but other than that? The truck hasnt stopped moving, outside of fuel and changeovers.

 

i thought the swing meat thing stopped or maybe thats me

 

They are phasing it out as none want to run it. For us, it was a new experience. Yea, it sucks as you have to take it super easy, but open road is still wide open.

 

Mega mega miles lots of conway stuff between Fontana Cal. and Fort Worth TX-San Antonio...WOW!!! Conway has more frieght than what they know what to do with....Tommarrow hauling 40,000 lbs of peanuts from Albany GA to Chicago IL...We're gettin killer miles running I-10,I-20,I-40 well over 6,000 miles just this week alone....awsome expierience best decision I ever made in my life was to become a truck driver and choosing this company as well....my only regret is not going this route 10 years ago......Playmaker!!!!!!!!! you will be an awsome trainer I'm floating the gears just like you showed me....WOOHOO!!!!!!

 

WOW, Great miles. It is becouse of this thread that I have decided to go with FFE as well.

 

So far I am very glad I came back to FFE, the trainers are much more professional, and I love that Sal is now the one who does the road tests, although I can tell you some rookies are missing out from his easygoing teaching style. He would take it easy on you, but put you in some VERY difficult backing spots to make you learn.

 

This thread got me to choose FFE as well...no complaints here...I've gottin to come by my house twice so far did my luandry and ate home cookin waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then the pilot,flying J and TA crap....
