FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Well, I didn't hit anything. My def tank came loose, probably bumps in the road, no dents on the tank anywhere. So dropped my first stop, in Plano IL (Menards) after a five hour wait. I was so glad to get outta there I forgot NOT to seal the trailer before letting the cute girl with a bad attitude check my trailer. "You need to learn how to read!" she moaned. I drove off muttering a certain C word AFTER I pulled away from her shack. Shame. Cute girl hating her job that much. Not a people person to be sure.

Anyway, drop and hook for tomorrow in Shelby IA since these folks wasted my time. Got to Davenport IA at the Loves and got treated to a Blue Angels practice session as I was parking.

Then onto Fremont for an overdue maintenance on Monday.

 

Sent to Blair, NE for a load to Commerce GA, which I will drop tomorrow, then boogie to our Dalton GA dropyard to Four Oaks NC hopefully all the same day. I 285 ain't gonna see me tomorrow. I would rather cross GA 20 between I 75 and I 85. Then, presumably, home for the 4th. Happy 4th!

 

Well, things didn't quite work out like I had wanted. I was supposed to pickup my home load at the Dalton GA drop yard, but by the time I got there, the gate was locked. Called dispatch for a new gate code but that gate is broken stuck and I could not budge it to roll it open. I used to be able to open it. Since I am not buff like Runningman, my feeble attempts to open the gate went unanswered. Called dispatch again. Apparently, we have no after hour/holiday contact number. Doing an unscheduled 34 at the Pilot in Dalton. Sometimes you are the windshield, sometimes you are the bug. Guess what I am now? Still, I cannot leave a Becton Dickinson load o u t here. They are, I believe, our best customer.

 

No, I meant no contact for someone at the Dalton yard to come out and get the gate unstuck. I was able to reach dispatch by phone and qualcomm.
