    Coming off of home time; Chatsworth,GA 2 stop Plano,IL, Valley,NE. Then Aurora,NE to Henderson, NV. Shoot down to San Bernadino, CA back to Aurora. Drop and hook. That's my current situation.

    Oh, did I forget to mention? I've been at FCC six months now.

    Good deal, welcome. It’s sounds like they’re keeping you rolling.

    Thanks man, and yeah definitely always rolling. Let me also say that you were instrumental to me coming here, I had 4 choices and narrowed it down based on this thread.

    I wanted to give it 6 months, see if I still felt the same and sure enough..most stress free trucking I've ever experienced.

    Before this, I had my own numbers. Dad passed early last year so I sold my equipment and took about 7 months off of trucking. Trying to figure out my next move etc.
    I was extremely picky and I honestly can't regret making this move.

    That’s good to hear, like I’ve stated on numerous previous occasions I bounced around for years never finding what felt like the right fit. I just wish I had found FCC years ago.

    So 4 out of 5 of my fuel solutions have been at TA... just chance or is TA (Petro) our preferred fuel provider?

    Seems like it is to me. They just have the best prices I guess because Swift was the same way. When you're in Oklahoma and Texas they tend to send more Love's and Pilot/FJ fuel stops. Which I guess wouldn't apply unless you're in the SW regional division. I'm not, but I tend to have to take those loads to get to or from home since I live in Tulsa.

    Can’t say that I have all that many years in Trucking and they haven’t been too stressful, but my last week of Driving between 34s, first full clock with FCC, was probably my most relaxing week of driving ever.

    I slammed solidly into my 70 and didn’t even feel it coming. I’ll be more attentive going forward.
     
    jcrack08 Thanks this.

    If you check fuel prices on the FCC app, it will tell you where the prices are lowest but the algorithm takes more than that into account. The comp. takes your position, fuel in tank and length of haul into its assigning stops. For me it’s been mostly Loves this week
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    Left the house on monday after they rescheduled my load for tue. I was going to do a relay in okc and the other driver was going to del the load but they canceled that and had me del the load anyways. After that i dropped my mt in sapulpa and bt to okc to do the relay after all. I should del it in omaha sometime tomorrow then head over to fremont and get the truck worked on.

    By “FCC App” are you referring to the Trans Flow App or is there another App specifically for FCC that I’m not aware of?

    Ya, I’d be curious about just how it decides where we stop... it seems to love the TA in Mt Vernon IL
