FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Oh, still backed up from the holiday. Not normally like that holidays screwed all the shippers up. I sat 2.5 hours yesterday waiting for a "preloaded " trailer in Duncanville, and they are normally an easy in and out, that's truckin for ya. FCC takes care of ya when that happens though, at least if ya got a good DM.

 

Truck is done , called Joe and said make me a Sunday truck going Penn , NJ or upstate NY ...will see what shakes out .

 

Tim is my DM. He has been great

 

Mine too he's laid back. Don't really hear from him much he figures out how ya want to run and tries to make it happen.

 

Settlement # 2 from fcc confirms my hard to completely determine math on the difference between Morehouse and FCC in terms of income ...so many differences between pay structure , deductions and who pays for what .
But the differences are now easier to figure out having more accurate numbers .
I'll start off by saying I've run no harder at fcc than I did at Morehouse and did not involve any tolls that fcc pays and I was apprehensive about signing on here with a milage contract that on the face of things sounds cheap .
When both money bags get dumped on the table the Morehouse bag was easy to add up cause I paid for everything and no fuel discounts and they took 30% of that .
Now we dump the fcc bag with a so so mileage rate and when ya factor in paid plates , paid fuel taxes , insane fuel discounts, paid tolls , lower insurance rates , zero administration fees and cheaper weekly deductions on qaulcomm etc etc etc ....good shop rates and better production due to all the drop and hook .
Considerably better income at FCC ! And a much better class of people to work with that don't sound pissed off all the time .

 

2 weeks and your pic will be on all the FCC ads in the little truck mags.
Hahahaha
Real happy things are working out for you.
It's nice to hear success stories from a road warrior.

 

That's the way the City Father's want it I believe.....keep wage competition down so Tony's, Great Plains/Land Pride, Stryten Battery, etc can pay lower wages. That's the way I see it after being here for 11 years now.

 

Appreciate it man ! Lots a good times in my Morehouse days and no ill will but fcc is a different company.
I enjoy the laid back atmosphere, no bad tudes .
Life isn't all about money to me and I can enjoy life a little now .
I really got the stinkeye out of Morehouse over that .
Such is life so I took my bat and ball to another team .

 

Do not, I repeat do not pick up there after Dallas experiences a WINTER STORM of 1/2" of snow the previous day and all the warehouse people called out. You will wait approximately 6.5 hours while they load your toilets.

 

FCC a good company was leased to them for awhile. Use to run Midwest regional. Nidia kept me rolling about 3400 mi a week mon thru Friday.
