FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

My tablet has only gone off when I had that deer strike. I put too much brake in it and it let me know. Other than that I don't hear anything about what I do.

 

Apparently this feature is just now being used. Don’t worry. You’ll get a call eventually.

No, my camera isn’t, or wasn’t on. Make sure you count to five at stop signs, and don’t set up your turns so you have bi-directional visibility . There’s no room for judgement here. Only perfect data.

Make all the assumptions about me you want. Thirty years, no accidents, no citations. I’m not here to be nursemaided.

 

So sorry! So very young…sincere condolences.

 

Guess we'll find out it hasn't bothered me any yet

 

We had the talking Sam-crappa cameras at SPD. Mine wasn't too naggy until.....they replaced the windshield and the shop had to remount the camera with the special tape. After that it like to nag me about speeding when I was doing 68 on level ground in WY (and not in a construction zone), so it could be set too sensitive. Luckily they didn't have it integrated into the sound system so I just turned up the radio a little bit and I couldn't hear her #####in.

 

Hooked to my trailer this morning. Was verifying the load to the paperwork. Noticed I was missing the paperwork for Yankton. Called dispatch(6:15am), and they put in to the csr's and to my dispatcher to see if we could get a copy. By 6:30 my dispatcher called and said he had it and he'd run it out to me.

Got to Sioux Falls, 1 off. Easy.

Madison (make it easy on yourself, drive through town and come back around from the west so you can sight side back into this place) 2 off, easy.

Yankton, at this point I needed a 30. The guys there luckily must have known this. 1 unit. 31mins.

Mother Nature provided a free truck wash all afternoon. Dropped the other 4 units in the yard, hooked to an empty, got fuel, headed to Lincoln.

Wasn't gonna secure my load tonight, but the rain was more pesky than soaking, so I got that done. Drove to York. Will decide which route I'm taking from here to Oceanside. I don't wanna play bumper cars in 80. Don't wanna get ran over on i40 motor speedway. And gonna check in the morning if 70 is gonna keep snowing.

 

Are you talking about the “coach” aspect… ya, just ignore it. I could not care less if it thinks I’m accelerating to quickly as I get up to speed to merge into the Interstate… and don’t even know what the circles mean.

It’s part of the package but I don’t think it tells anyone anything different than what the cameras and system data tells them.

Although I have had a moment or two when that big red screen pops up to alert me that I’m going just a bit faster than I was aware. That I have to admit was beneficial when I forget to set the engine brakes to Auto.

If it’s not the “coach” part, not sure what you are referring to.

I don’t care for the fact that we have to set the brakes before we can scratch our backside but I’ll adjust… if I have to… I guess.

 

Ok, well that is different I guess. Maybe they forgot to turn yours off? Has it always done that or actually behaving differently?

 

Oh they’re monitoring the coach aspect of it. Soon get Isaac score cards. It’ll tell them and you your using to much pedal to accelerate then too much brake even though you may get cut off and they’ll grade you on it. All in the name of making you a better driver. I personally don’t pay attention to it when I’m getting up to speed to get on highway. I don’t wanna be the hazard going to slow any longer than I have to be.

 

So sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for you and your family.
