FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Yeah... sure... it's now 1300 EDT....they sent that message 35 minutes ago... I see no evidence of my trailer being unloaded thus far.

 

Just curious, what type of Dedicated accounts do they have for Kawasaki? Is it all flatbed or is their parts dealer deliveries as well?

Aside from tech bs, is Kawasaki a good dedicated account to drive for?

 

It's mostly delivering crated and drive off units to dealers from the DC. Pretty gravy work, but some of the dealer locations are TIGHT. Actually, the DCs are pretty tight as well. Lincoln is easy enough, but Ontario and New Jersey can be on the snug side.

 

I usually get that message after they're done pulling the load off the trailer, while everyone is taking a break before they sort and segregate the load...then have to wait while all the warehouse check in people take off their shoes and socks so they can count high enough to make sure all the stuff is there.

 

Ugh... Good old Crapstone...

Delivered the load of granite slabs this morning in Denver.

From there got the message of "head this way, call before you get to North Platte"

Been monitoring another coolant leak. I believe I found it. Not measurably leaking, but pulling up the Ike made it noticeable. Dispatch is having me go to the shop to take care of it before a load assignment.

 

Big Saint Charles Motorsports warehouse in Saint Peters MO brings back nightmares when I think about it.

 

Have you ever been to Foothill Ranch, CA? Some of the dealerships in WV are kind of "fun" to get into. One of them is actually easy enough once you figure out the setup, but you have to back in across a US Highway in the middle of curve near the crest of a small hill.

 

No I only ran Midwest regional when I was leased on. I had one load to Montana that was a 5 drop but other than that I never went anywhere out of the region.
