FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I found my trailer on Monday morning, it was at yet a third yard at their distribution plant. Hooked the fifth wheel, got out to get Bols from nosebox....no paperwork. Go to the back, no seal, open doors, no product. Should have been loaded on Friday for pickup last weekend. Notified dispatch and they told me to yank the trailer. Apparently, they had issues before and FCC said we were through with them so off to St Peters MO for a load to Eau Claire WI, then hooked a loaded trailer from Eau Claire to Valley NE, then a load from Council Bluffs to Cleveland TN, which I dropped today an they had given me a load from Somerset KY to David City NE, but ran out of my 70. So waiting on a load Sunday from near Atlanta to Minnesota for a Tuesday drop.

 

Well, this new Freightliner gave me my first heartbreak. Its hemorraging coolant, about a gallon a day. Sitting at Loves in Marion Illinois waiting 5 hours and counting just to get looked at. Geeze. 43 hour reset and this shiznet. Gotta be home Friday and that ain't gonna happen now. Don't think FCC is repowering this load. Gotta love trucking to deal with this. I guess I do.

 

Sorry to hear that George. Mine truck had many gremlins since new and for the past two years visited freightliner so many times that I lost count.
Hopefully you won’t go through the same situation.
Did they tell you from where it was leaking?

 

Did anyone else hear FCC’s new safety director say that our ICC number of 733 was due to our safety efforts?!?!?!?!

 

?? That's our Dot#

 

Yes, and watching the safety meeting, he twice seemed to indicate that was because of safety!! That number is low because the company was purchased from the original operator by the current owner. I’m wondering about this guy’s credentials

 

He's a good fella, probably trying to get used to speaking at those safety meetings just miss spoke or something. I didn't watch the video nor have I ever been to a safety meeting. But trey He's aight.

 

The original owner who started fcc must have took over that Dot # from another company because that's a very old dot # the oldest # I've ever seen was on groendyke tanker truck that company is probably close to 90 years old.

 

A friend of mine runs transportation for Seneca foods. Their #200 !

 

Omnitracs are outdated, it’s time for them to upgrade to the next gen devices & software
