FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

To the OO/IC’s here, how much are you spending on fuel on average in a month?

 

My last 4 full weeks (was off about 12 days a couple weeks ago) I spent $4514.34 on fuel and $310.26 on DEF for 11194 paid miles. Not sure the actual miles without looking in my book because I bobtailed to Lincoln for service and went to Seward to a truck show and stuff.

 

I'm a big guy well belly wise lol and i feel skinny everytime i go to a truck stop. Women bigger than me. Saw one guy standing out side his truck off the scale. Said he'd be overweight if he was inside it. Just shook my head and walked to my truck lol

 

1st day of MWR and it went about as good as it can get. Got one off the yard for Mars in Clayton IN. That location is LEAGUES better than Lancaster. Plenty of room, nice people, and you don’t have to drive thru Dallas to get there. I had to wait 19 minutes to finish out my break. Scurried down to Cerrowire and I’m loading first thing in the morning for HD Topeka. Another tip of the hat to FCC. Long story short the electricity in my house, for lack of a better term, is ******* up. My fuse panel is buzzing, I’m getting intermittent usage out of a couple sockets and one socket I scorched Sunday. I called an electrician and they can come out Friday. Messaged my DM knowing it was short notice and I just came off of 9 days breakdown and she said “no problem. You run hard and you never gripe, we can get you back so your house doesn’t burn down”. No guff, no hoops to go thru. Just “yep crap happens and we get you can’t necessarily fix stuff when you’re not there”. A short week, but it beats roasting marshmallows when I get home over all my belongings.

 

Clayton is way better now that DHL isn’t in charge. It’s way faster in and out now.

 

Stopped at the rest area just east of STL last evening and got out of my truck this morning to the slightest bit of chill in the air. I love it but at the same time I know what’s lurking in the shadows…

 

Up here in MI this morning it's the same way

 

Where are/were you in MI this morning?
