FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

It’s optional except for the reasons Runningman stated, that said the safety manager will ask very nicely if you would volunteer to have it turned on ( he doesn’t push if you decline) also as a company driver you get a 2 percentage point boost to your rating for volunteering to have it turned on which could make the difference for getting an annual raise if you’re on the edge.

 

I meant to say the safety manager will ask very nicely at orientation

 

Showed the driver the missing stud and how the others were getting ready to go. He stood and looked at it for a bit and walked away. I tried calling his safety department, but got no answer. Then I realized it’s a white Volvo from Illinois, so….

 

Is he ok?

 

Screw his safety department, I'd call 5-0 with his truck/trailer description and numbers and company name and DOT number. A tire or two coming off rolling down the road could kill someone.

 

I looked up the DOT number before he deleted the pic and they have a 33% OOS on equipment inspections.

 

After I deliver this load in Houston this evening, I'm basically going around the corner to grab a preloaded trailer for Omaha

I'm delivering to a grocery DC, and a Kroger one on top of that. I'll eat my own stinky shoe if I'm in and out in under 4 hours. It's the Gellhorn Dr location

 

If you are going to the place on Turning Basin... it's kind of a pain in the butt. It's not as tight as it looks, the main issue is the other traffic buzzing through there in a hurry. The closest scale is at Trucker's Paradise... but don't go there unless you want to deal with dealers, beggars, folks parking in the way, and folks doing their best to make leaving an inconvenient experience.
