FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Yup, a Cascadia. Thanks, I'll talk to him about that

 

I am surpised they actually warranty a part that has a KNOWN issue. Those things pretty much all come apart at the welds around 600k. I had one on a pipeline truck make it to 720k, but the guys at Freightliner said they almost NEVER see one make it that far.

 

As they should. Seems like there has been a lot of accidents there recently.

 

Dispatch said this load isn't able to deliver until 1600 tomorrow and there's no way they can split it off, and that I can swing by the house if I want. So I just pulled into town and will spend the night at home. Planning on pulling back out around noon tomorrow to go up to Grand Island.

 

You were right, one of my steering stop bolts was broken, I'm sure that made the issue much worse. Got that fixed, so hopefully I'll get well over 200k outta this set now

 

Oh yeah!, I wouldn't have done my lease without it. I just went over 400k, it doesn't go into effect until 500k when the factory warranty would expire. But I can already tell it's gonna pay for itself. I've already replaced a water pump, front cover, 4- rear wheel seals, and 3 injector seals in the first year. That's the stuff the warranty paid for just off the top of my head. I'm sure it'll be much more as it gets more age and miles

 

I'm assuming that based on this, company trucks are usually traded in around 500k or so?
