Message:: [QUOTE="runningman0661, post: 12391323, member: 26831"]A few takeaways from the driver advisory board meeting on Friday.1. They are moving the company awards banquet to early in November instead of the same weekend as Thanksgiving. It will be a “test” to see if more out of town drivers will attend.2. A total of 112 new trucks are on order, 76 Freightliners, 10 KWs, 16 Volvos, and 10 Mack’s. FCCs average cost per truck is in the $175k range X 112 trucks is just shy of $20 million.3. The price of a trailer they spec two years ago was $30Kish range that same spec now is closer to $60k.4. FCCs philosophy when it comes to customer diversity is that try not to let any one customer be more than 10% of their business. (Very smart)5. The freight forecast from our customers for the coming months looks positive. Some customers are still having supply chain issues (I.e getting product or ingredients) but that will hopefully get better soon. It was a very positive meeting, and reaffirmed my decision to come back to FCC. They are trying to get the truck count up by about 30 trucks, to the level they had prior to the pandemic.[/QUOTE]
