FFE Transportation (Frozen Food Express) was founded in 1946 and currently operates more than 1,800 tractors and 3,000 trailers. They mostly haul refrigerated freight and specialize in high value, temperature sensitive food products across the entire lower 48 United States in both LTL (Less Than Truckload) and TL (Truckload) freight sectors. Their main headquarters is located in Dallas, Texas.
FFE seems to have a slightly more strict policy concerning an applicants criminal history. They make special note that if you're getting turned down by other carriers, not to apply. However, they perform all of their background checks before CDL schooling which guarantees you a job with them provided you successfully complete the program. They offer some very unique advantages, such as zero payroll deduction for CDL schooling, which we'll get to a bit later.
No, students will study for and receive their CDL permit at the Ft. Worth, TX training academy.
No, but a passport is recommended and can be used for identification/background check purposes during orientation. FFE does not haul freight into Canada or Mexico.
FFE does not haul HazMat, doubles, or triples. However, if you're interested in one of FFE's local oil field positions in Midland/Odessa, TX you'll need a tanker endorsement.
