FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

anything 7699 and down is air ride. Everything 7700 and up is spring. The exception is 8150-8199, which are also air ride

apparently the most recent order of trailers will be half and half, and all Stoughtons. All of the most recent ones have been Utility’s except for a small random selection of Great Dane trailers

 

With loaded trailers i don’t feel much difference. Some of the older air rides buck you around as well. Pulling an empty is when i feel the most difference. I don’t know if you can feel a spring ride trailer more with a day cab vs a sleeper

The mechanic where i park my truck was complaining about the air ride since they operate older reefer trailers for the most part. According to him, there was a time that some customers wanted/preferred an air ride trailer. I used to see a lot of trailers when i was younger that said “Air Ride Equipped” on them

 

In the world of flatbed preplans. Looks like after I deliver this load of gearboxes to Deshler NE. I’m heading up to York for a load of fence to go back to Riverside. Might as well get it while the gettin is good.

 

i like how this Dodge City Petro leans pretty heavily into old west pictures and decor. There’s one problem though. It’s in Alabama, not Kansas. It’s pretty weird seeing old west stuff down in this part of the country

 

So this Shipper required me to place this sign inside the cab. Good thing he did too as I almost forgot I was here to get loaded and almost just drove away to Walmart to restock … until I saw this sign… whew.

 

Dropped in Cullman yesterday and grabbed a load of tires from Morrison, TN going to the greater Chicago area. The most logical route would have been 65 all the way there but i decided not to take it because i don’t want to deal with all that bs. Instead i’m taking 24/69/41, which means i’ll be rolling through @DonRobbie country soon.

Also is it pronounced Terre HAWT or Terre HOHT

 

Been having the same, picked up a preloaded trailer at Goodman/Daikin in waller TX flat tire and abs light on had another one week before from ft dodge IA abs light on.
