FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

There's several brands and pricing.
If you go to Hong Kong, be sure the ear buds can translate Cantonese and Mandarin.
Cantonese is the language in Hong Kong, but most business people and the bar girls can speak an understand both, at least enough to get by with visitors.

 

it's more fun to try and learn a new language though. I already know some basic Japanese phrases. Not nearly enough to communicate effectively but it's a start at least

 

They see you and will think Godzilla is back.

 

Been in this dock for almost 3 hours, and these fools haven't even STARTED getting their #### out of my trailer.

 

How much is detention pay & stop pay?

 

Last time I got about $18/hr. I don't know if that is standard. Doesn't come up for me very often.

 

That's very good pay.

 

Home for a quick 34. Loaded for Clayton, then pick up at Richmond for Olathe. History says I’ll likely repeat that, then a one off load and back to the house. Planning to to a full weekend next time!

 

It's far from the worst as far as detention...4hrs 11min in this dock and counting. I had an appt for my next load at 1430, 150 miles from here.... it's now 1340, and I was in the door almost 3 hours before they even started unloading... they are averaging between 5 and 10 minutes per pallet now, down from almost 15... it's progress, I guess.

 

I spent a whole 10 hour break in a door once only to be spit out at the height of morning rush hour in Philly....another reason why if I don't pull another reefer again it'll be too soon
