FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I had to go to CB to get a new one (obviously they have them in Fremont as well) then play phone tag with Suzie and Kris to get it going. What they were able to do until then was if I called in during both Kris and EFS's hours was call her and she would message or call her contact at EFS and they could get the card running temporarily for 10 minutes. I think they may only be able to do that a certain number of times. Needless to say it really really sucks on a busy fuel island because it takes a bit of time for this game of telephone and you need to be at the pump in order to get it done before the card shuts down again.

 

With the exception of certain fleets, we stopped using everyone but Love's, and that will give me a problem every once in a while, but I think it has more to do with my phone network more than the app.

 

I got skimmed after they put out a security alert about the app, we were supposed to reset our password for the app and our email. I hadn't been able to get my email accounts password reset yet so I used the card naked once and immediately was skimmed.

 

That's why I don't use the app I don't even the transflo app Luma app cat weigh app no games app not even the weather channel app anymore.

 

The security issue they was talking about with the pfj app was because some guys use a password that is too easy. Though it is more secure than swiping the card at the pump because the code only works for 30 minutes.

 

I'd rather not use any apps.

 

It is hit and miss, especially at some specific locations. The one in Newburgh, NY (which I stop at only if necessary) never seems to work.

 

They’re deadheading me clear down to San Antonio to pick up a preload trailer of pallets going to the yard in Council Bluffs. Almost 440 miles empty and another 900+ back up to Nebraska. I routinely forget how big Texas actually is. Suffice it to say that I’ll be busy for the next couple days.

 

From what my dad tells me freight is hard to find in Texas for some reason. He works at Crete and they haven't been sending him there because of that.
