    Does FCC not have the Ozarka dedicated run in Hawkins TX anymore? Haven't seen it on the "openings" page on their website in a while.

    Last I heard they still have it. May not have any openings. It's a dedicated fleet, I think those guys are home most nights if not every night. So I'm sure there's only a certain amount of trucks needed full time. The only times I remember them asking for help was when someone was on vacation and another driver got sick or something at the same.

    Made it to my pickup. Actually wasn't too bad and I didn't hit much traffic. That being said, wheeling a 53 footer around in Los Angeles proper is not for the faint of heart. Narrow streets and lots of traffic. But as long as you have some common sense and don't hurry you should be fine.

    Weather wise it's actually pretty nice. In the low 60's with a mix of sun and clouds.

    Now let's see after I get loaded if I can get out of the basin as easy as I came in.

    I don't miss that place, I cut my teeth in trucking running the I-5 corridor, LA/SD to Seattle/Spokane and back

    Is this the location just south of I-10 on Alameda St?

    Me too. The original Gordon Trucking way before Heartless bought it and ruined it.

    Dropped in Columbia, Sc this morning, bounced up to Anderson and picked up a preloaded trailer going to Sam’s club in Council Bluffs for Monday.

    Tried to see about splitting off tomorrow and keep rolling, got the “freight is slow in the area” response. The last two times up around Omaha and CB I’ve been told that. Not a good sign if things are “slow” in the heart of our home freight base.

    So I will get in a reset, deliver Monday and grab a load off the yard going back to Four Oaks.

    Must have been all the coolant chatter earlier in the week. To say I hate Freightliner would be an understatement but I think it’s mostly the dealers that suck. 3 days to install a radiator they had in stock simply because they close at 9:00 pm 3.5 hours to go and it’ll be another day.
     
    BigR Thanks this.
