FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Since we’re on this topic, I’ve got a question for the group.

Are any of you struggling with anxiety coming out of the house? I’ve started having terrible problems with it. There’s nothing wrong with the truck, the load, the company or the schedule. I’m just consumed with nerves, like I’m a day late and walking into a service failure. Or somebody is going to call me into Fremont to relieve me of my duties.

None of this is true, of course, but it’s starting to be a real issue for me.

Anyone else deal with something like this?

 

I used to deal with that when I was OTR. Went away when I started running locally

 

I used to be that way. Wouldn't get near corporate for months, all of a sudden I get a load they want t-called there...but I am a bit of a malcontent. I finally just said f-it and quit worrying about it, if they can me, they can me.

 

The feeling of impending doom is an off again on again thing for me. I try to do as much preparation as possible before I leave the house to make sure I am starting out on the right foot.

 

I will say i get super anxious for some reason when they have me drop a load in the Fremont yard vs virtually anywhere else. Makes me feel like i did something wrong.

Or if I get a message to call safety. I don't know what's worse feeling. That or watching a cop flip a ##### behind me after passing me going the other direction. Both make my soul want to leave my body

 

Been told twice drop load in Fremont get service and Tyson wants to speak with you.
First time I wasn't really using the fuel stops and going where ever. Second time was year in review. Both times I thought I was getting fired. But not worried about getting fired tons of places out there just mainly how I would get all my stuff home.

 

You can’t miss that new DC that’s for sure

 

in the interest of fuel economy and wanting #### to last, outside of certain situations, I've essentially became a Prime truck on the highway. Will i care if I get my doors blown off by company equipment? Nope

So if yall see an FCC truck and trailer piddling along at 62-63, it'll probably be me. I'll be in the right lane minding my own business, listening to Frank Sinatra and the like (probably)
