FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Me to. Ya f those places. I’d tell them they only get one day off a week.

 

This has been a very productive 70. I only have 20 hours left though and i’m still 200 miles away from Bosselman’s. Tentatively planning on taking a 34 at the Love’s in New London, MO when i get there tomorrow afternoon sometime, then roll down to Crashville on Saturday. Have hometime coming up for next Wednesday so they can’t do a whole lot with me but at least i’ll have a fresh 70 instead of working off recaps

 

They want 7 minutes, more is okay

 

i was taught by Schneider that a post trip should take no more than 3-4 minutes and if it does, you’re doing something wrong

 

Please elaborate

 

that’s what the instructors in Green Bay told and taught me, so you’ll have to ask them what they meant, not me

 

That explains all the orange junk broke down on the side of the roads. 4 min inspection they ain’t looking at much.

 

What I have heard from Safety at FCC is they want 7 minutes logged for an inspection. They are looking for patterns so being a couple minutes short once in a while isn't the end of the world. For what its worth.
When I worked for Schneider you had to log 15 minutes for a pre or post trip (but that was in the good/bad old days of paper logs).

 

Today I felt like a Kentucky tourist.

With my marked words yesterday of “…final stop..”

Florence proved to not be my final stop. I got there and they had no crates to pickup! Contacted dispatch, they said hang around a bit and they sent me another stop to go pickup. Georgetown KY. So I threw on my seat belt and slapped this sum-b into D and headed to Georgetown.

They too were also empty. So after 20 mins or so, they say head to Lincoln.

For those counting, this is now a 5 stop pickup.

 

Thanks everyone. I have had a couple of days I ran up until the end of my 14 and had no choice but to flag it. I guess I'll find out.
