FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Pick up some moderate weight off the floor and put on a shelf, simulate pulling a fifth wheel, simulate rolling up landing gear. They have autos and 10 speed manuals. I believe you have to get a new medical certificate from the doctor they use, and it was a urine test when I went through orientation, I would suggest speaking with a recruiter to get the up to date info.

 

In most cases they won’t take new CDL grads, but they do have two people that train. I would call recruiting and ask them. I know when I went through orientation the following week the had someone coming in that was fresh out of school, so they must make exceptions.

 

I know a couple of guys that only run 8 to 9 hours a day and never burn up their 70, on the long haul that’s pretty feasible, none of our freight on the long haul fleet has super tight delivery times. The customer always comes first, so that will dictate if you have to run longer.

As a new driver I don’t know what starting pay would be, but if you plan on staying out for months
at a time, I would think $50K would be doable with achievable bonuses.
