Elaine Baldwin set out in trucking partly to show that
she can do anything that men can do—and just as well if not
better! Though she’s had her share of tough times, today she
is a successful lease operator with FFE.
Baldwin says FEE’s program is simple and easy to follow. Plus, as she says, “it will tell you if you can cut the mustard or not” when it comes to running your own business. Another benefit is that the program is accessible to those with less than perfect credit.
With her lease completion date set at December 2007, Baldwin says she’ll run hard until then. When that day comes, she plans to take a week off to detail her new truck with a touch of chrome. Baldwin reads, knits, and crochets during downtime and she spends time with her daughter, Takeya, whenever possible.
Baldwin says she owes thanks to two people at FFE who have helped her along the way, Brian Etchinson and Derrick McCoy. “FFE is always in my corner. I’m happy where I am,” said Baldwin.
The FFE lease purchase program offers 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 $2,000 productivity bonus, up to 200 gallons of fuel on their first dispatch and a $200 fuel credit for weeks two, three and four.
FFE is seeking company drivers and owner operators who have a good work ethic and like to earn good money. If you would like the chance to average $1.11 per mile, along with a $2,000 productivity bonus, call 1-800-569-9298.
