Gary Middleton has known he wanted to drive a truck his whole life. “Since I was a young boy, I have always known I wanted to drive a truck,” he said. As soon as I was old enough, that was the first thing I did; that was in 1959. ” Middleton has been with FFE 21 years and doesn’t plan on going anywhere, saying “this is it!” He is currently working on his third lease and will soon be stepping into a brand new 2007 truck outfitted with an APU. “This is about the best thing a man can do, and with FFE it is easy to accomplish a lot and put more money in the bank. ” One of the great things about driving for FFE says Middleton is that the payment to his truck is already taken out of his check and he is looking forward to saving fuel through the APU. Middleton has landed a dedicated run and says Dallas/Fort Worth is his best route. Although truck driving is his hobby, when he is not on the road, Middleton enjoys cheering for his hometown team, which he refers to as “the one and only” Atlanta Falcons. Drivers can make good money as a lease program driver at FFE, but Middleton is quick to point out that you have to work hard. He tells fellow drivers to “keep turning those wheels” and you will feel it in your pocket sooner rather than later. Middleton has four children and a wonderful wife of 33 years. Along with owning his own truck, being able to care for his family is one of his greatest accomplishments. FFE’s Clean Slate Lease program offers drivers the opportunity to own a truck with no money down and the added benefit of a business support system. Credit isn’t an issue as long as drivers have a clean DAC and MVR. New drivers to the company can also enjoy a soft landing by taking advantage of FFE’s Fresh Start Program. In this program, drivers are eligible for a waiver of certain fixed costs during their first four weeks and a $150.00 fuel credit for the first two weeks. Even better, successful lease contractors like Middleton are rewarded with the option of purchasing a new truck complete with an APU. Currently celebrating its 60th year, FFE is seeking owner operators who have a good work ethic and like to earn good money. Owner operators average $1.11 per mile and receive an annual incentive at the end of their first year. Plus, FFE just introduced a new mileage contract that gives owner operators the best of both worlds at .93 cpm for truckload shipments and an even higher rate for hauling those special FFE LTL shipments. It just can’t get any better! Call FFE at 1-800-569-9298 to find out more, or you can visit www.ffeinc.com.
