FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

FYI the location for Stryten Energy in Salina, KS you’ll get from the load tendered “directions” button is several miles off. Once again there is a ‘thumbtack’ icon on the map at the correct spot that if you can scroll to it will take you to the right place. If you point it to South 9th Street and choose East Berg Road as the cross street that will get you close enough to find it (the truck entrance is a third of a mile or so East of South 9th Street on East Berg Road. Trucker Path points to the correct location.

 

I’m experiencing Deja Vu. Next port of call after I’m empty is the KC droplot where I’m picking up a trailer going to Mars in Bethel PA. Hopefully I remember how to get there (it has been 4 days since I was there last)

 

Sounds like a 34 OTR on the way.

 

At Beckley and seeing they are making a bit of progress but still far from done… walked up the hill to grab lunch/dinner and get up there only to find they are closed on Tuesdays… lol

Not as if I didn’t need the walk anyway but still a sign at the bottom of the hill would have been nice. Still took a nice little wander around the property since I was up there so it wasn’t a complete waste.

But, I see a new light pole. One can only assume they will be reworking the road around that large parking area as well because why else would you stick it out into the road which then requires barriers.

 

except that it needs to be there on Friday and I only have 15.5 hours left on my 70. I don’t know about your truck but mine can’t drive 1650 miles in 15 hours. Ended up taking another Richardson load bound for Hannibal, MO and dropped it here in Fremont for someone else to take

 

Whatever they are paying for this system, they are being ripped off...

 

The Qualcomm was a bit outdated and slow but i never had any real issues with it. Not sure why they wanted to change what was proven to work

 

Ya got that right!!!.... wait..... that's blasphemy!!!... "give it time"..... "gotta work out the bugs"... "make it work for you not against you "..... did I forget any?... gonna go puke now!!

 

I’ve never used a Qualcomm, but coming from what I had before Geotab is a step up. When I had my own ELD I had Motive and it was great. Zero complaints as a stand-alone log. But the last company I was leased to had Motive and McLeod. When it worked it was great, and those times were far between. Most of the time the two wouldn’t communicate like they were supposed to.

But 95% of the time my screen is off so I don’t have any idea what the log is doing while I drive. Plus when the screen is off it doesn’t chirp at you for speeding and stuff

 

That system makes the petty complaints I have about our Samsara system tolerable.
