FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Got my next load for when I go back out on Monday. Lozier load to Baltimore. Thankfully it looks like I'm delivering to an actual warehouse i can wheel a 53 footer around with ease vs a store where sometimes it takes some creative maneuvers. I haven't been to that part of the country in months so a nice change of pace

 

Going to look at yet another car tomorrow. I feel like i’m gonna become one of those people with a bunch of clunkers in the front yard. If i do buy it, i’ll have a couple Lincoln’s and a couple Cadillac’s. Only one of which was made in this century

 

Not a bad idea. But I could see that coming up next. Trying to find a spot to store extra DEF on the trucks.

 

Anybody else having TRANSFLO problems? I’m locked out of the eld, but everything else works?

 

Never mind. It went into debugging mode. Trey got in and fixed it right up! That’s actually pretty impressive. Tyson can’t do that. lol.

 

-20 for a low at home tonight. Anyone tried plugging the block heater into one of the APU outlets? That way it doesn't overheat the inverter.

 

Oh shoot… it was there when I did my PreTrip… honest.

I took a brand new Great Dane trailer from Wayne, NE to Great Dane SLC… then they had BT to ABQ to grab an MT to get a reload.

Boy the 10.5 hour drive from SLC to ABQ was a bouncy run… especially once I hit the NM border… dang.

 

First, I’ll admit I’m responding to this post without first reading further to see what other posts have said or what RM response was… but…

May I give you a not only. sincere and heartfelt, but professional and personal #### YOU and the #### horse you rode in on.

If you think we are stopping and dropping 60 gallons at every Fuel Stop then you are obviously not a driver at FCC. If you were you would know that they are fairly open and honest with us as to the current reality in the trucking industry. No they don’t share their Balance Sheet but I think any one that actually drives here knows more than any Driver at any other company.

As to Bootlicker, RM has been representing us Drivers at the company level for some time. This is ON TOP of running his miles and he doesn’t need to do it… for US.

So of course he has personal first hand knowledge above and beyond what the rest of us drivers have… and EVERYONE here is well aware and appreciate the knowledge and insights that he is able to share because of his role on the advisory board.

In conclusion, and may I repeat, #### you and your god #### horse…

there’s the #### door… bye

 

Something sounds a bit off. I’d track your DEF vs fuel for a bit and share it with your DM. FCC won’t leave you stranded. Top off as we are now required to do and grab 5 gallons when you fuel. If you are burning more than 5 gallons a day and get low before touching a yard, just ask for another stop if needed.

No, I’m personally not fond of the change but it is what it is… let’s run with it to identify legitimate issues… FCC will adjust or accommodate accordingly.

Or maybe something is just off in your truck setup and needs to be adjusted.

 

Respectfully, you are certainly not coming off very respectful. Please adjust your attitude.

RM has been here long before they asked him to represent US on the Advisory Board. It is not a “conflict” being one of several Drivers on a Drivers Advisory Board… this again shows FCC has a commitment to us drivers beyond pawns on a chess board.
