FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

My Carrier leaves the chat at anything above 85. I like my bunk to be an igloo though

 

MWR is a great fleet. A lot less bs to deal with than SWR

 

MWR fits well within my preferred running zone, I'm a Midwest guy born and raised, I spent some time in VA and liked living there, but as far as trucking goes I prefer to stay inside the box of I-81 to I-25 and I-40 to the Canuckistani border. If I can average $75k a year and stay inside that box I'm happy.

 

And 90% of that BS is called "Dallas"....

 

Dallas is certainly on my list of cities I'd rather not go to, like Hotlanta, NYC, Boston, DC, Baltimore, LA, Portland, Seattle and San Fransicko.

 

I would rather deal with LA, Portland, Seattle, and Baltimore than Dallas. With LA, specifically, in my last 10 trips out there, I passed or witnessed 3 or 4 crashes. That is the total across all 10 trips. In my last run into Dallas, I saw 8; 3 on 75 coming into Dallas from McKinney, Plano and Dallas. 2 on I-45 within 1 mile of downtown. 2 on I-20, and one more on I-30 between Mesquite and Rockwall.

 

I concur that Dallas is a bit of a zoo.

 

I run out of Fremont for all intents and purposes. I'm kept on I-80 or north of there a lot of the time. On runs to Indy I take 80/74. I've done a decent amount of stuff to Wisconsin. I'm usually kept away from I-70 which I won't complain about. 70 in Missouri is a zoo with all that construction. Last time I was on MWR, I ran out of KCMO and did a lot more I-70.

I think the farthest east I've been on this fleet is Cleveland. Which interstate you live on will basically determine what you do a lot of the time

 

Drop in Plainfield this morning and then swing up to the Wabash paper mill for a load back to Hastings. I can be picky about where I take a 34 now

 

If and when I make the move to FCC I'll probably be running similar to you then as my current base of operations is six miles north of I-88 in the Chiraq suburbs.
