    That above sentence should say you dread vs are dread. Just wondering how many pain in the you know what customers there are. Most are good I'm sure since it's 70 percent drop and hook.

    @Michael1771 with respect, you are trying to think of every little thing possible… I’d suggest backing up a bit. Too many questions like those will not prepare you to drive at FCC. It will just give you way too much information and quite honestly wear us out.

    I know it’s important to ask questions especially when coming in new but things like “on a sunny day, going downhill, heading west” will just wear us all out.

    generically you can get to your drops during drive hours. Very rarely will you need to creep around. If situations arise we can use PC for certain situations.

    Tattletale… drive smart and safe and no one will bother you. We are maxed at 68 mph so that limits a lot if possible issues.

    Great customers.

    Anything over 74mph sends an alert. I can tell you I have rolled faster than that down Arbuckle in OK as well as out to Albequerque and have received ZERO calls about it, but it wasn't an everyday occurrence either. Like was mentioned above, 5mph is the trip point for Drive Line to start. You'd be better off showing yourself unloading when you stop the night before and use PC to go the mile down the road in the morning and give Parking as the reason. Done it many times and have received ZERO phone calls. They absolutely WILL NOT babysit you, it's not (insert mega fleets here). You want to sleep an extra hour, no calls as long as you're on time. You want to stop an hour early, no calls as long as you're on time. It's laid back....I've hit max bonus every quarter and still took 1-3 weeks off during each quarter.

    Well said. I think people are under the impression that all company's treat you like a trained monkey that can't take care of anything without their help.
     
    popcorn169 and runningman0661 Thank this.

    Have you seen all the 57' trailers at Pepsi there in Dallas. Guessing they use them to haul Gatorade bottles into the facility from across town, but not sure.

    No issues, Wal-Mart loads are the best, easy in and easy out. I recall an Amazon load that was an absolute #### show for 2 days and a 6hr "preload" in Dallas because it's Dallas and they got a dusting of snow. 98% of the time it was like falling off a log.
