FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Dropped in Rome and got stuck trying to snag an empty and high hooked it. Was dark still at 0630 so hard to see. Thought I would need a tow, but Travis at the shop said to throw chains on the drives and drop the air bags and raise the trailer. Two out of three done. Guess what I didn't do? Got right out and backed in at an angle and got the empty and went onto to Calhoun GA for some flooring to deliver to Menards in Sullivan, MO tomorrow. No reload of yet and won't have many hours left on my 70. Oh, and my dispatcher is off until the 20th. Hmmmm.

 

I high hooked once, and now to avoid it, when I back up to a trailer if I don't feel the fifth wheel hit the apron I just stop before I go too far. Then I get out and see how high it is. Lower the trailer if I need to.

 

Picked up in Houston MO (broker load) and T-Called at Council Bluffs yard (Monday delivery in Omaha). At the TA for today waiting to recap hours and will head to Sioux City in the morning and then headed back to.....wait for it, ROME GA! Yeah, same place I got temporarily stuck a few days ago.

 

Dropped my truck off at detroit in omaha last thur. Still not ready. Since my dpf filters are a month old. They are waiting to see if they need to replace them to activate the extended warranty. Have a loaner til then. Shane is have it brought to fremont hopefully fri so i dont have to go down there. Headed to dallas now.

 

@runningman0661 I just applied for dry van long haul. I wanted to thank you and the other FCC drivers in this thread for all the information provided. I wanted to ask you something in a private message, but I'm not sure how to do that on this site.
