FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Maybe there is a shortage of some kind which would be strange.

Next load is to Kansas so we'll see how they get me up to Fremont. Need to get my paperwork in order for the truck and hopefully start making the revenue.

 

It was a long time ago but I took the plastic off the seats on a Prostar and that thing usually couldn’t make it off the dealer’s lot without whatever was fixed becoming un-fixed.

 

They don’t call them 13 letter #### spreaders for nothing, especially those old ProStars. My CDL school had a couple and they were junkers

 

The new ones I believe are a lot nicer than those old #### spreaders and as long as you have a Cummins should be simple to fix compared to a Navistar engine, but I haven't really spent alot of time behind the wheel of one of the LT trucks Jason could answer that better since he owns one.

 

God dam boy, your CDL school had "old" Prostars?!!.. WTF?!!!!.... He can make ya feel old without tryin lol

 

Mine had a cabover, and a couple freightliner classics. I think bzinger 's had a covered wagon and a team of mules

 

The CDL school I went to had prostars and Freightliner centurys. Celadons now defunct school.

 

I'm still attending my driver's education alma mater...often referred to as "the school of hard knocks".

How about feeling old from this...the guy who taught me to drive did it in 2 different trucks. A U model Mack and an R model Mack. The 1st truck I was assigned full time was an R model with no power steering or air ride, and a torsion ride seat. It used almost as much oil as it did diesel. The last truck I drove for them was a '74 R model with air assist steering, positive ground electrical system and an air controlled winter front. It had 3.2 million miles on the chassis. 3rd engine, 2nd Maxidyne transmission and the rear diffs had been rebuilt twice...on the old Mack Camel-back spring suspension. Today's drivers would quit if you asked them to drive that truck.

 

Would love an old R model just to fix up
