FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Took a 34 in North Las Vegas, rolled out this morning at 0200 and dropped in Redlands, California. Headed to the closest truck stop, and about 1230 I got a load that had to be picked up in Carson, California by 1500. Fought traffic, and got loaded and rolled out of the shipper at 1430. No way I can make it back to the truck stops in Ontario with traffic and the time left on my 14, so I'm taking my 10 in an industrial area ( which I only do as last resort). This load delivers in Olathe, Kansas Friday at 0700, it only weighs 4000lbs. I will beat feet out of here about 0100.

 

I have it in the cubby above the fridge, but I have in there long ways, when I use it I pull it out, turn it face out, use it, and replace it.

 

Keeping you rolling!

 

At that time of the day I wasn't even going to attempt it. It took me two hours to go from Ontario to Carson, 56 miles. Trying to roll North out of Carson/Long Beach that close to 1500. Nope.

 

Well I've had two firsts today since being at FCC. First grocery warehouse delivery, and first time having to use a lumper. Thank God I don't have to do either very often. This was a broker load so that probably explains part of it. Been in a door for two hours and they haven't touched me yet, plus it's a floor load. Once I leave here I have to do a short hop, pick up in Kansas and drop in Crete, Nebraska. Then go to our drop yard in Lincoln and pick up a trailer going to Sumter, SC.
