The New FFE Driver Academey

LoneWolf......I enjoyed our "hike" to Whataburger (haha). I'm in McCallen with my new trainer who's just taken over an LTL run. A new trainer and a different run is making the latter half of my training more entertaining and more comfortable (two nights in a motel this week). I expect I'll spend the next two weeks finishing up with him and that's cool. I do hope there's trucks to be driven when I complete this phase of the training. Like everyone else, I need the cash coming in on a regular basis. We'll see what happens. I'm going to try and keep a positive attitude.

 

Hey man, glad I got to meet a couple of y'all. I got home and have a laptop again (turns out the pavilion d6700 had alot of issues but a recall was never issued. I got a gateway for now,and it seems to be doing well. Keep the positive attitude, and hopefully when you're ready to upgrade they will have a rig for ya.

 

Hey playmaker, were you the one that showed up at the class today? I was second from the walk on the back row (apparently its the supertrucker row) today in the black shirt.

 

if it was bald headed goffy looking guy that would be "spat" on here. he is a good guy ain't he.

 

One more week of phase 2 training to go,me and my trainer got a huge run from Waco TX to Detroit Mich, then deadhead back to Chicago Bridgeveiw yard pick up a load there and take it to Ontario California.As far as this whole thing about there not being any trucks to put me in when I finish up with my trainer....I'm not really concerned with it....it is what it is....I have no issue teaming up with someone if it comes to that"for the meantime" I believe in the whole "good things come to those who wait" My birthdays in December so getting a tractor then would be sweet......all is well.

 

You have a great attitude. If you are willing to ne a team player, they will take care of you.

 

So basically, it is a slipseat operation.

Punishing drivers for taking time off.
