FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

That place has become such a pit! No room to drop trailers!

 

And they say grocery warehouses are the worst...that view makes going to the grocery warehouses a walk in the park.

 

I am not what the issue was but it was a mess ! The top of the hill was crazy as normal
Another fcc driver L/P driver was there and he dropped his trailer and hooked to a empty trailer and pulled it out and I dropped my loaded trailer and he dropped that empty and grabbed his loaded trailer and I pulled a empty trailer out for him

 

*Flatbed Update*

Got unloaded in Omaha yesterday, and my DM had me take the van I’ve been pulling around to our drop yard in Lincoln to grab a flatbed.

From Lincoln, headed to York NE for a load of vinyl fencing that’s due Monday morning for a 2 stop, 1 in Riverside CA and the 2nd in Palmdale CA.

I’ll probably be on recap come Monday.

 

*Flatbed*

Unloaded in Riverside this morning and called my DM to let him know of my recap. He said we’ll do whatever is necessary. Waiting to be unloaded in Palmdale.

After this, going to Lucerne Valley CA for “bagged minerals” going to Denver for Wednesday.

 

My brother lives in Lucerne Valley be careful Highway 18 out there is a death trap !!!

 

Mitsubishi Cement?

 

Hey flatbedders, quick question. Yesterday I saw a pickup truck towing a fifth wheel flatbed trailer with a smaller shipping container. It seemed to be secured with a single strap. Not even one of those wide straps but what looked to be a regular width strap like what we use in the vans.

legal?

 

1 strap as the only securement, not legal. He probably had chains at the bottom of the container chaining it down. They can be hard to see unless you're looking for them.

 

1 is no way legal...depending on the size, 3 minimum, 4 or 5 if it's a bigger one....but like @RStewart said, probably had chains thru the bottom corner holes.
