FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I thought the mark was for the center of the rear axle, but I’ve never measured and don’t have to worry about it because I don’t go out there. I’ve done the same thing dropping a trailer. Scaled it and made sure it was CA legal but figured they can slide it.

 

he’s right on the second part. To be legal in California, the center of the rear axle has to be at the 40’ mark

 

i personally slide it even if i’m not taking it to CA. It bothers me if I don’t. That’s probably just me though

 

When I’d go to CA with the last company I was with I wouldn’t slide until I was almost to the border. I hate how they ride with the tandems sucked up.

 

California is center of rear axle, not sure if fcc puts the red mark on the trailer for center of axles or not never ran Cali with them. But if king pin sets 3ft from front of trailer then measure 10 ft from rear of trailer make a make and set rear axle center hope that helps

 

I got irritated with my dispatcher today. Drop and hook anytime today at Four Oaks and i gave an ETA of noon yesterday afternoon. Got load info at 9:45 this morning to pick up a load in Burlington…at 1300. I told him I wouldn’t be able to make it and he had the audacity to ask me why…this is exactly what i told him.

For context, i was running about an hour behind ETA but that wouldn’t have mattered because even if I wasn’t, i was going to be an hour late the second they assigned the load to me. Needless to say, he said nothing and someone else rescheduled the appointment

I called my roommate when he went on lunch and vented for a bit

 

I had the same dispatcher learned years ago to not give a ETA...

 

I gave Tim ETA’s all the time and never had this issue. They moved dispatchers on me a month and a half ago and i’ve never been too thrilled with the new one i have

 

Welp it was just the opposite for me with dispinchi's
