FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I will certainly pass that piece of info on up to the Powers that Be… (meaning my DM) I know he passed my “venting” on up the chain so maybe they are collecting feedback and looking for options.

Thanks

 

You bet buddy. Central States Thermo King is the company, what I have circled is their drop lot they rent spaces out of. Good luck!

 

So I ran some numbers tonight and I wanted to post them, so as to let others know that I can make it clear that I didn't post (a few days ago) my reasons on why I didn't go to FCC as some kind of bragging thing. Far from it. It's still to be determined if I made the right decision or not.

So from January 01 - March 05, 2022 I took a total of 16 days off (doesn't include resets on the rode that I was able to squeeze in and to be clear, I don't complain about resets on the road if I'm running out my clock and I actually prefer to run that way if possible). I went for hometime twice, so it's not like I'm taking 4 days hometime every 2 weeks or something. I just make it count when I'm on hometime lol.

My most current paystub is ending on March 05, 2022.

Year to date gross: $7,042 (Includes my non per diem CPM pay, my per diem CPM pay, sign on bonus (what's been paid of it, the sign on bonus is spread out over a year), breakdown, detention, hazmat CPM (when I run hazmat loads), monthly bonus pay (if I hit the required incentives).

Now January 01 - March 05 is 9 weeks worth of paystubs. So:

7042 gross / 9 weeks = $782 per week including my 16 days hometime.

If you don't include the hometime and do 7042 gross / (approximately) 7 weeks = $1006

So for the weeks I'm out running, I'm averaging about $1,006 gross per week.

So I don't know. The verdicts still out as to whether I made the right decision or not to choose my current company over FCC and others. I like many things about my company though and this week I'll have a $2,050 gross check because last weeks check was small so that will help my average out a lot too.

But just because I gave my reasons for not going to FCC in a post several days ago doesn't necessarily mean I made the right decision. I think I have to give it a year before I'll be able to make that decision. I'm pretty sure all of you FCC guys have grossed more than 7k during the first 9 weeks of 2022, but then again you OTR guys probably haven't had 16 days hometime either. Though the FCC regional guys have probably made more than 7k gross during the first 9 weeks this year and they will have had 2 MORE DAYS of hometime than me after 9 weeks (18 days for the first 9 weeks of 2022, 2 days off per week).

Kind of curious how I'm stacking up against the FCC guys since FCC was one of the companies that I looked at in late 2021.

 

Ok thanks

 

But that's some good hometime...if you add up all day's worked excluding restart on the road and hometime and divide that by 7 and then divide that by gross your probably making some money..see what I did there..lol

 

Never mind I missed the paragraph where you already did that, LOL

 

Thur i stopped fremont to get new truck numbers put on & a dot insp. Had to get new drives put yesterday to pass insp. I get over to aurora and find out computers are down and they are 24 to 36 hrs behind. They finally got me loaded this morning. 1 pallet only 900 lbs going to oklahoma.

 

You could definitely make more here. I'm regional, home Friday afternoon/night through Monday morning unless I decide to stay out a half day Saturday, I'll usually do that one a month or so. I grossed 87,500 last year ( my first full calendar year here), and had had a raise and the bonus was always raised during that time. We also had a horrible winter last year, which led to some slow weeks caused by shippers being behind in Texas. So, this year should easily be 90k+ gross. That's including all bonus, detention, ect. Plus, the way they treat people you really can't put a price on.

 

BigR, you get 48+ hours hometime most weekends and still made that? If I read that right, that's awesome. Good for you.

 

You could definitely do better at FCC. Like was mentioned up above, made 83k and took 5 weeks off along with home EVERY weekend.
