FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

The level of stupidity out here anymore never ceases to amaze me. I'm driving across I 70 in Missouri today, I come up on a day cab pulling a trailer with a roll up door, he hits a bump, and his door comes unlatched, stuff starts falling out of the back of his trailer. I try and get him on the CB, of course no answer, so I get next to him and start laying on my air horn, the guy is still oblivious, I look over and he's wearing a set of Bose type headphones, texting on his phone. Finally, the idiot looks over at me, and I tell him his door is open, and his freight is falling out behind him.

Maybe it's just me, but it used to be the four wheelers I worried about, but truck drivers are getting just as ignorant. In the last two weeks I've seen drivers watching movies on a tablet driving down the road, a driver in heavy traffic with his foot on the dash, and this genius today.

 

Agreed, kinda like the post following yours.

 

Indeed

 

Dropped in Shelby, Iowa this morning, my truck was due for its inspection, so I swung through the Council Bluffs yard, got that taken care of and did laundry. Went over to Omaha and dropped and hooked on a preloaded trailer going to Spartanburg, SC for Sunday Morning. It's a "hot" load, I'm supposed to call the receiver when I'm 30 minutes out and he will come in on a Sunday and live unload me. From there I'm bouncing home for an unexpected night at the house. I'm pre planned on a load Monday that loads in Spartanburg going to Toledo. Have a safe weekend.

 

Sitting in Toledo, Ohio getting unloaded. Once empty I will bounce 42 miles to Clyde, Ohio to pick up a trailer going to Sioux City, Iowa.
