FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Glad to hear it. Being sick OTR is the worst. Get fully recovered soon!!!

 

I couldn't watch the video because of the music playing in the background.

 

I’ve done the Luma training apparently the class is a separate deal. It’s only about an hour and they are running it twice a day M-F. So hopefully it won’t be too painful to cycle through

 

Appointment wound up being set for 10 AM so I called an audible and changed plans. I am in CB getting the truck serviced and have already swapped fuel cards, so rather than having a bunch of dead time tonight and then spending tomorrow cooling my heels in Fremont tomorrow I can use some of the dead time to get the service knocked out. The class will have to wait but since my truck is getting an 8K service now I will have a few weeks to catch it before the switch. Or at least that’s my theory.
So tomorrow after I deliver in Hastings I am running to Lincoln to grab a load for Garland, TX that I have to deliver Thursday, then will need to bust butt to get back for the banquet on Friday night.

 

Not sure if I will go to the banquet if I am still sick but that was the original goal.

 

Well no more unforeseen problems have cropped up so today was pretty uneventful. Dispatch swapped loads before I even started so that enabled me to run a few errands before leaving town. Dropped my load of pallets in Crete early this afternoon and grabbed another trailer off their yard going to Walmart in Bentonville, AR. Planning on getting down to Joplin later this evening and dropping in the morning. That leaves me in a weird position as even if they get me a Ft Smith load to Texas and then something there back up to Nebraska, I’d be up there by midday Thursday or so, and the banquet is Friday evening. I guess I’ll see what dispatch does.

 

New fuel card isn’t working and EFS will apparently need to be involved to get it going so I expect to be doing some phone tag as well as running my butt off tomorrow.

 

Oh, I saw the luma training. I didn’t catch that they were doing on-site classes too. That’s good.

I was on it for a bit when they were testing it. It’s setup a bit differently but it still does the basics. Shouldn’t take too long to get up and running on it.

 

Coming back out in the morning. More family issues and personal appointments so had to take more time in Illinois. Spending more time in Illinois than South Carolina lately. But the better half will be on the truck for two weeks over her Christmas Break.

Rolling on to Bethal PA for Thursday and unsure after that.

 

Those of you who lease or have leased a truck from FCC: do they report the truck payments to credit bureaus? I just want to know if I can build my business credit score with the truck payments.
Thanks in advance.
