FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I don't know if i doing something wrong but last 2 nights in texas i had to idle alot.
the newer model carrier aspen. Isnt blowing cool air i set hvac to cool blue ring around nob set lowest at 65 fan all the way up and i went to sleep around
11pm last night woke up at 4am in a sweat 88 inside the cab 90 outside ???
Everything was working till i went into the shop for a quik 45min first lube service i dont even thing thy touched the apu.

 

Same for me apu was working fine until last truck service, afterwards won't start up. Massive idol time the last week. In 7 years never had any problems with the any apu and I've had 5 different trucks.

 

Did the shop forget to plug it back in? I've had that happen multiple times

 

I'm not sure I called Travis let him know. He said yeah those units are junk lol. Dropped it off yesterday so hopefully they will check it out today.

 

I am interested in applying at FCC, could anyone please answer any of these questions?

Reimbursement for paid parking, scales, etc?

Goverened speed?

APU Electric?

Driver facing camera?

Headset requirement?

Truck stop/fuel preference?

 

No on parking, yes on scales. 68 MPH on company trucks. APU on most trucks, although some of the new ones the past year I think they didn't get them. Don't think any are electric, bit not for sure. Forward facing camera only, although I think they turn it on if ya #### up enough. Not sure what you mean about headset requirement. DOT mandate nationwide about hands-free phones. So yes every company would require Bluetooth of some kind.

 

They give company drivers a fuel solution and you are expected to fuel there. All the major chains

 

Yesterday was a long day ended up taking 6 hours to get loaded in California. Then A/C went out drove 5 hours yesterday with no A/C, it was horrible with 110 degrees outside I think it was 125 degrees in truck. Called breakdown this morning, now I am at the T/A in Prowan, Ut. Found out the compressor is shot, getting it replaced now.

 

that shop in Parowan is actually pretty good, or at least the one time i had to use them

 

i believe a lot of the Kenworth’s have electric/battery APU’s. All the rest of us get diesel powered ones
