FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Details to follow?

 

I won't tell you it's a breezy 88° down here in north Tejas on the way to Houston then

 

Texas, Houston, you can have it!!

 

Yes, once I am in place and have a true understanding of the position.

 

Ya, we would love to hear more!!!

 

Down in Houston by the ##### ports, as soon as I pulled onto the scale at this place the computers decided to go down. Been sitting here beside the scale house for an hour now. Haven't even gotten to go to the warehouse to get loaded yet. Guess it's going to be one of those days

 

Similar bad luck here in Jefferson WI … simple DnH at customer and the loaded trailer has a very thuddy interior tire (no hissing) and the exterior tire is very squatty… called the Trailer Shop and seems it had issues OTR not too long ago so I guess it’s still not fixed correctly. And it’s like Four Months past due for a Shop visit too which seems very odd in and of itself.

I had the very same thuddy interior tire (no hissing) with an MT from Wayne NE last weekend and ended up moving it to the Fremont Yard for repairs which kind of screwed with the Plan.

But as usual here at FCC the folks in Breakdown have me taken care of and heading for a tire shop right down the road.

But ya, the moon and mars must be doing something to screw up our day.

stay safe

 

American Plant Food load sounds like.

 

I could probably go back and find out who it was that suggested using the 8/2 option as a 2/8 option but that eye opening tidbit of knowledge has that come in handy more than a couple times.

thank you whoever it was!!!

 

Another interesting day.

Crete was absolutely overflowing with full trailers. Crazy story ended up bobtailing out after two hours to Lincoln to grab my next load.

Once there I discovered that trailer had yet another interior flat tire. (Three in a week, well kind of)

And it turns out to be the very same trailer, and tire, I grabbed from Wayne NE with a flat and turned in to the shop in Fremont. Betting another driver grabbed it before the shop got to it and didn’t pretrip it and took it to Lincoln.

Got it fixed Sapp Bros on I29 and that took another couple hours.

9.5 hours of driving over 16 hours.
