    Back at yard took the load we p/u in CT bought to yard. Got to go home for about 17 hrs. Last week we left on Friday and returned this Friday, my personal miles for week 3233 the truck miles was 5269. Not a bad week. For the people thinking this is RA RA and FFE sucks, move on. I am tired of people that never worked here before saying all the negative stuff about them. If you think they are a bad company and you never worked for them but your opinion is sololy based on what people say, I feel sorry for you since you can't make your own decisions or opinions.

    If you are happy with them, that's all that matters.

    Why do you care so much what other people think?

    I don't but just get tired of all the negative stuff not only about FFE just in general about the industry. We are all doing the same job. There is no perfect trucking company out there. It's just where you fit in and if the company fits you.

    My personal miles this week 2876. Truck did 4500. I will be upgraded on May 11th to my solo truck. My trainer has been awesome, but can't wait to get out there again on my own. My training so far has been a great experience from the academy to the OTR trainer.

    I am looking into starting my career with FFE and I was wondering does FFE route you or can you route yourself?

    I absolutely love it so far. Great training. It seems like they really care about the driver. Good luck on your search but I am very happy here at FFE.

    Would one go in with their permit from their own state already in hand, or do they want you to wait and get the Texas permit during school?
