FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I get well into the 9's in my Volvo doing 63-65. Best i ever managed in a Freightliner were the high 8's.

If monthly score cards are to be believed, I got 9.5 during the month of July. Most fuel efficient truck I've ever driven by a decent margin

 

What’s the monthly scorecard? What’s the computer say for gallons used versus what you actually put in the truck? How often can you top the tanks off to figure it on paper?

 

That's the MSRP. Wonder what the actual negotiated price is between the Brand and the Companies. Cost plus? Retail minus?

 

They email us a monthly scorecard with things such as safety and productivity. Within those they score us on accidents/incidents/lytx events etc. And also fuel economy (though stated on the sheet that it's not counted in your score), your monthly mileage, service failures etc.

The goal was to be at or above 90% of the itemized goals. As of last week they lowered it to 88%.

 

They are doing something for company drivers as I hear it. Based on scorecards, they've bumped base rates on some, it could be all, it could be few.

 

I think they were starting that while I was leased there now that you’ve jogged my memory.

 

Woke up in Wisconsin this morning and...

wait for it

It's actually cool outside.

It's a balmy 62 degrees where my family in the UP lives. Future lows are to be in the upper 40's/lower 50's for the foreseeable future. Perfect sleeping weather in my opinion.

I miss living up there

 

The big 3 all do Cost plus, Pilot also has their rebate. I can say even on Cost plus right now with Fuel being so high our system has started to Throw normally out of network locations like QT and Speedway because pump price is lower than discounted price in some locations.

 

Going from Wisconsin back to Fremont and some inkling told me to take US-20 between Dubuque and Sioux City before cutting down. Halfway to Sioux City and I just checked the radar and traffic conditions while taking a short break. There's heavy storms all along I-80 and US-30. I-80 WB near Des Moines is also shut down because of a wreck.

Sometimes the shortest route isn't always the best.

 

Truck is going to the dealership. I'll be tooling around in this for a little bit
