FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Headed out in the morning picking up honey tanks for the van headed to Conyers GA for a 10am on Wed. I volunteered to run over Thanksgiving, but the way David H messaged over the qualcomm, our shippers receivers are shutting down for the holiday so maybe deadheaded home. Doesn't hurt my feelings at all!

 

Yep. Time for a grease job on my tractor too. Gotta figure out when I can squeeze it in. Only took me three weeks to go over 8k miles.

 

Thanks RM! Yikes nothing like feeling like a rookie running over curbs again! Yeehaw!! After I drop, headed to Dalton drop yard. Gonna work the holiday and run some pallets to Nebraska again and get some maintenance on my truck in Fremont or CB. Was supposed to pickup at Kawasaki in Lincoln but they took it off me. Not sure why. Will clarify tomorrow. RM, you going to the company dinner, Friday??? I wasn't but since I will be there dropping load and getting my truck serviced, why not??--------------------------------------------

 

Celebrated Turkey day with Arby's fried turkey sandwich with BLT at the Loves in St.Joe MO. Will hang here tonite then shower, shampoo, shave and <edited> in the morning before running these pallets to Pro Pak in Omaha. They wanted them tomorrow instead of Monday and they shall receive. Then head over to Fremont for maintenance work, change cabin filters and lube/grease. Hopefully I can borrow the car to do a little clothes shopping for the safety banquet tomorrow evening. Didn't bring anything with me. Didn't anticipate being able to make it out here. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! RM looking forward to meeting tomorrow!

 

Yep. Didn't have time to make it to Council Bluffs so I pulled up short where I knew I'd have a shower credit. Pacific Junction IA was hit or miss. Played it safe. Did 556 miles on Thanksgiving starting at 0545 and knocking off at 1545
I'll take it! Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

Tonight, finally met Runningman and watched him win the Driver of the Year for FCC in the independent contractor category! They also give out one to the Company Driver of the Year as well! What a thrill to watch my new friend win!! FCC had four tables worth of door prizes. I even won a $50 gift card from Menards grocery store and I have been with the company just four weeks. They even gave three Flat screen TV's away!! Sure glad I was able to come and will plan on being there next year. Truly a company that treats their drivers well! Dinner consisted of porkloin, chicken breast, mashed potatoes, vegetable medley, salad, dessert at the Marriott in Omaha. Even a couple of tickets for free alcoholic beverages! Not that I imbibed. Gotta keep the eyes clear and the CDL intact! Again congratulations to Jason C. The Runningman. Great breaking bread with you. Great turnout for this affair!
