FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Sorry. Hopefully it’s a decent motel

 

Slept in the truck last night and looks like it might be an easy fix… really hope so as I need my truck in San Antonio TX next week to celebrate an anniversary with the better half.

 

North of Rockford, IL
Ended up at CIT in Rockford.

Nice Dealership here. Four showers/restroom and laundry area right off the Lounge Area. Kind of like the Drivers Lounges at FCC.

 

outta the house this morning, picked up at Lumberton NC headed to Joliet IL. Nothing like a Quickie load to run over the mountains.

 

Well fellas hold down the fort. I was told I was getting a driver facing camera and six months probation, my response was nope goodbye

 

What precipitated that punishment plan?

 

Well....I've had my cdl for 23 years and I know know better .. I was north bound business 259 south of Kilgore tx snag a Louie on TX 42 for one mile then a right TX 135 it's a truck route around Kilgore TX got to TX 135 northbound closed due to construction left turn only. I turned left 135 it was going down to two lanes so I stopped waited for traffic to clear and a uturn too go back to the way I came from it was Sunday morning no traffic but I hit a pothole and it snitch on me lol. Busted I've never done that before...oh well....

 

I was cognitive of what I was doing the video shows that. But what does a driver facing camera have to do with it. I didn't argue the point because I don’t argue well I get mad. Apparently you screw up you get the booger picking camera, not me I'm going to keep my ball's.

 

You admitted your mistake which is good, can’t blame you on the driver facing camera being a deal breaker, I’ve had one staring at me for the past several years and I absolutely hate it, 20 years safe driving, over 10 with my current employer and it’s just something that’s been implemented over time. I know I’m not stuck here and could move on, but I’ve accepted the fact that it’s there, I can honestly say it has taken almost all of the enjoyment away from this job though, that along with the new equipment and all its safety features, I’m nothing more than a steering wheel holder at this point :/
