On the Road to Ownership

When FFE Contractor Charles Seward found himself without a truck, the company offered him the Clean Slate Lease Program and he was back on the road to ownership. �A little over a year ago I joined the Clean Slate Lease Program,� said Seward. �I can honestly say I am not dissatisfied.�

Joining FFE as a company driver originally, Seward received the miles he wanted and the respect he deserved. After buying his own truck, he drove for the company as an owner-operator, but when he lost his truck his options were few. �When my truck went down, FFE offered me the Clean Slate Lease Program,� said Seward. �In this program, I do extremely well, and the truck will be mine in June of 2003.�

Averaging around $1.20 to $1.30 per mile and taking home $1,950 to $2,300 a week after making the truck payment, Seward enjoys top pay with FFE Transportation. The Clean Slate Lease Program is unique in that it creates a partnership between the contractor and the carrier. "At FFE we don't just focus on the truck," said Brian Etchison, Director of FFE Owner Operator Division. "Most importantly, we focus on supporting new and existing contractors."

FFE has found that the keys to success for contractors are budgeting, working hard and eliminating unnecessary expenses. Clean Slate Lease provides drivers an opportunity to become their own boss with the support of a company dedicated to their success.

With programs like Clean Slate Lease and Purchase Plus Program, drivers are given a detailed business plan to help them succeed, and in two years or less they have ownership over their trucks. With no credit checks and the support provided to be successful, drivers can become successful contractors with FFE in a matter of two years. Currently, FFE is leasing quality, late model units with payments approximately 25% below the industry average.

�FFE gives you the opportunity to be an owner-operator regardless of your past,� said Seward. �If you're willing to work � FFE will help you be successful.�
