Rated #1 – Lease Purchase at FFE Helps Driver Build His Fleet

In order to build a successful career, an independent contractor must be business savvy and partner with a company that can provide him with the best options possible. For William Adkins, the only option to achieve success is partnering with FFE. This is largely due to FFE’s continuing commitment to providing lease purchase participants with great equipment, plenty of miles with a current average of $1.02 cpm and the support to allow the contractor to dictate where and when he wants to run.

Adkins has been driving with FFE for two years and is extremely happy with the results he has experienced so far on his dedicated run. Last year he earned approximately $277,000 and averages about $1.71 cpm. Having been involved in other lease purchase programs with little success, Adkins knew what to look for when searching for a new program.

“I wish I never wasted my time with the other lease purchase programs,” said Adkins. “At FFE, I’ve been able to purchase my two Peterbuilt tractors and have the option to buy equipment through their program. The support and encouragement I have received, as well as the great miles and excellent compensation package, have all attributed to my success.”

Adkins boasts that the most he ever waited for a load was 12 hours. After experiencing transmission problems with his first tractor, FFE supported him with the repairs and loaned him another tractor to help keep him running. Adkins is also quick to point out that FFE’s company terminals are located throughout the U.S. and lend support to drivers at every turn. He is also amazed at the company’s extensive freight base and how quickly loads can be found to keep a driver moving.

Adkins is very happy with the success he has achieved and plans on staying with FFE for a very long time.

Although Adkins is dedicated to making his career successful, he enjoys spending time with his family and traveling while not hauling a load.

Experienced Team Finds A Home at FFE

With almost 80 years combined experience in the trucking industry, Gary and Dolly Evans are a rare team who find success in partnering with a company who respects its drivers and are helpful every step of the way. With such a strong support network behind them, the Evans took a chance and completed their first lease purchase program at FFE.

“Most drivers can’t afford a big down payment or expensive monthly payments on a truck,” says Dolly Evans. “Although it took a little coaxing for us to make the investment, FFE made the experience so easy and worked with us to meet our needs. They offer the easiest payment plan, provide quality equipment and whenever we had a problem, they were quick to help us get back on the road.”

Not having been involved in a lease purchase program before, the Evans gained valued support from FFE and took advantage of the opportunities afforded to them. With the success of their first lease that lead to the purchase of their first truck, the couple sold the tractor and quickly signed a new lease on their current tractor.

As an experienced refer team, the couple was attracted to FFE due to the company’s competitive pay package, 401 K plan, availability of hometime and attractive insurance plans. The friendly, family-oriented atmosphere at the company also helped secure their decision.

While driving their dedicated run, the team provides guidance to new drivers and enjoys talking to other teams and drivers about their positive experiences at FFE. Knowing that they represent the company they work for at all times, the Evans take pride in their job and remain considerate of the needs of both shippers and clients. They are happy to do whatever it takes to provide excellent customer service as it helps to secure more loads for FFE and more miles for their team. This is proven by their annual revenue of $197,000 and an average of over .90 per mile in 2003.

In the future, the Evans aim to be the top running number one team at FFE and anticipate driving for the company for many years to come. When not on the road, the couple enjoys spending time with their family, being outdoors, and keeping their new truck clean and polished.

FFE is dedicated to its drivers and provides industry-leading service to all employees. To learn more about the exciting team drivers or lease purchase opportunities with payments as low as $359 per week, please call 1-800-569-9298.

It was a luxury I wasn’t afforded anywhere else.”
