FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Absolutely, I’m on the long haul fleet I average 3000-3500 per week, 99% of the time Im preplanned on my next load the day before I’m empty.

 

No offense taken.

 

So I load tomorrow in Eau Claire in the morning going to Valley, Nebraska for a drop. Then I go down to Omaha and pick up a preloaded trailer going to just North of Pittsburgh for a live unload Monday morning. If I turned in all my trips for this week, I could finish the week with 4316 miles for the next pay period, but I will probably hold the Omaha to Pittsburgh trip over for the following week.

 

No, you can’t pick your own loads. They have a sliding pay scale depending on length of haul. From $1.26 to $1.04 plus FSC

 

Getting unloaded in Cheswick, Pa. and then bouncing 176 miles to pick up a preloaded trailer going back to Pappillion, Nebraska. Light load coming out and light load going back.

 

Preplanned after I deliver this load in Nebraska on a load out of Omaha going to Salinas, California . Probably going to pop my snow cherry for the year, it looks like I will run into some snow running across Wyoming headed out West.

 

So change of plans..... the delivery date on the load going to Salinas, California got pushed out until next Wednesday, so they took me off that load and put me on a load going to Dallas for Friday morning.

 

Just got a message that L/P and O/O are getting another .03 per mile raise effective on Monday. That’s the fourth raise this year, on a 3000 mile week average that’s an additional $90 a week and $ 4680 a year. Our average fuel discount is .30 off the pump price and we are currently getting a .36 a mile fuel surcharge on all loaded miles.
