    Looking like the mill in Wabash is going to have to be put on my no load list. Just keeps getting worse and worse every time I come back.

    How many times have you left now? They don’t pay detention, unless they collect detention, it’s always been that way here. Crappy cross border freight? You are the first person I’ve ever heard of being in El Paso.

    So let me guess, you got put on a broker load, got stuck in El Paso waiting on a load to come across the border, FCC didn’t get paid, so you didn’t get paid, so you got butthurt, and made another hasty decision and quit.

    Trust me, I ve bounced around in this industry, FCC is the fairest company there is when it comes to paying you for down time, whether it’s breakdown, or getting screwed over do to another issue, but there are times when in the past a broker didn’t pay detention, and I lost out on a few hours of detention. I didn’t like it, but I knew that was the policy.

    The good far out ways the bad here IMO.

    Nope didn't know the El Paso broker load was a cross border until I got.....so I said f it and bounced back to Fremont and turned in my truck.....three times since March of 17 ....I hardly ever complained about detention or the miles I got at fcc....the detention I was pissed about was actually a bms/nestle load to Sam's club in Loveland co from three prior. Had a 0730 sat delivery but it was changed to a Sunday delivery 0730 delivery....I found out it was switched for another driver so he could go home and get restart....all created buy that #### Paige in csr....

    Guess who got one of our hens teeth WA loads? After I drop this Ft Dodge load in Lincoln tomorrow, I'll head to Aurora to grab a load going out to Grandview for Monday morning. Then swinging over to Yakima to grab something coming back I assume. Thinking of taking 80/26 to 25 up to 90 and running across Montana. Really isn't much longer than 80/84 and a whole lot less idiots to deal with
