FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I want a volvo over the Freightliner I hate this truck the LKA sucks along with the factory seat.

 

They ride so much better than a Freightliner. It's pretty sad.

The 860 model has a ton of room inside as well

 

I changed jobs back in March and joined the Volvo mafia myself. Pretty happy with it so far but just working 4 days a week week.

 

It happens to a lot of folks who leave this business..eventually they return in some fashion..it happens more than folks realize

 

Not sure but I’m averaging 1036 that’s not local tax taken out. Not worth it to be away from home for that.

 

im taking home way more than that…

 

That’s awesome. My first time at Leonard’s never made awesome money just enough to get by that’s one of the reasons I’m leaving coupled with my wife’s health that we’re trying to get fixed and dispatch trying to abuse me with the loads I’m out. Left a very bad taste in my mouth. So much so if I have to go otr it might only be for tanker. I liked what Crete offers but warehouses and dispatchers have jaded me.

 

Told you so

 

I told myself once you started posting in the forums again recently that you would be in a truck again soon. I know cause I do the same thing everytime I leave trucking


I'd swap to the van-side for a Volvo

I had Volvo daycabs for 3 years at Firstfleet before I got an assigned t680. Those 600k mile day cabs had a better ride than this freight"shaker"

 

The first generation Cascadia was a great truck for what it is... the new ones are refried garbage. Horrible seats, bad ride, steering that feels vague, but the effort at the wheel is unreasonably stiff. If it wasn't for the Paccar engine, the T680 is about perfect, or as close as you can get these days without spending 200k or more.
