What testing does Con-Way and FFE do?

Jerry did you ever get aanswer for FFE??

Don't get me wrong, just wanted to know because I was planning on getting a haircut before going to training and if their gonna take hair well might as well wait till they do that, then I can get my haircut. Don't want to have them get hair from anywhere else. I'll just stick to them getting hair from my head.Right.

Mr. Old School, I really appreciate all your advice. What you said has made alot of sense to me. People like me that haven't been on this type of work really appreciate people like you, willing to help others and guide them through difficult decisions. It may sound ignorant of me asking these types of questions, but what better place to do it than here with all experience from all of you. "Thank You" All

Guyjax your exactly right on the quotes you just mentioned. They pretty much had every single one of those lines. Only one thing that worries me about this particular company (FFE)is that when I call back to check status of application, I lady by the name of Nancy answered and told I had not even been assigned a recruiter, I had applied two weeks before me calling, she mentioned she would work out of her house recruiting for FFE. I called yesterday (Friday) and she said I would clear my background and everything else by Monday?? Not sure if to take these things as a BIG Red Flag or just blow this off. I like many others am afraid to make the wrong choice since there's a whole lot at stake. Thank You for taking the time to respond to my questions. ''

What are the chances of me getting hired with a company if I were to get my CDL at private school? Would be difficult to get hired on by companies? I know I would have the freedom to go with anyone, but would hire me since I wouldn't have the OTR experience?

Yes I have chosen a company sponsored training due to my financial situation. There's plenty of training schools here in El Paso, Tx, but I just can't afford these schools right now. That's the main reason I have elected to get my training out of town and with a company sponsorship program. I also tried applying with Central Refrigerated but when I got done with online app. It wouldn't go through for some reason. But I will continue to look at other companies before I head to P.A.M though. Any company suggestions??

I'd like to Thank You for giving me this advice. I just have found it very difficult to decide which company to get training with. I am VERY VERY new to the world of trucking. The biggest vehicle I have driven is a Straight Truck. For a couple of retail business's, and those were local delivery jobs. Company wise, P.A.M has caught my eye because the recruiter has kept constant contact with me. Though there was an article a while back on this site, stating that recruiters were only there to draw you in with all these great things. I know that once you sign on that dotted line, their out with you and in with the next caller. In regards to FFE I was really interested in there company until just last night I was reading a few reviews on their company and they were all pretty negative. So I am leaning on stick with P.A.M. Though P.A.M doesn't provide transportation to and from school/motel, this has been the only negative that I have found because I have to travel from EL PASO, TEXAS to Forth Worth, TX. I really want to get on the road and join you all through the country. Still set on starting schooling on March 3. Just wanted to see what advice experienced drivers had/have for me on this journey. Thank You everyone.

FFE or P.A.M????? just cant decide on which to get my training with? Any input from either company would greatly be appreciated.

Thank You for the info. It's well appreciated. Would this company be recommended? Do they have their own website?

Anyone out there really know if FFE Transportaion is a good company? Just wondering because I applied with them about 1 1/2 weeks ago and have not heard from anyone? Is this normal for this company?
