Fremont Contract Carriers, Inc.

I ran midwest regional there, Their expectations for that division is 2200 miles per week. I worked much harder than that but I had to ask for it constantly. I wouldn't waste my time leaving home and driving 2200 miles a week. The pay should be higher for experienced drivers. There is lots of drop and hook lanes there which can keep you moving. I had a great driver manager that kept me moving 3000 miles a week and home for 2.5 days every weekend. Once he got promoted I only lasted 3 weeks and I was gone. If he was still in dispatch I would still be there. I'm too old to keep training dispatchers how to keep the guys that want to work busy.

They gave me a shirt after orientation that said "I wish I found FCC sooner".  My response was a cynical 'yeah, okay' but it turned out to be true.

There's barely any micromanaging, save for assigned fuel stops.  If you do your job as you're supposed to, ie, pick up and deliver on time, safely, etc, you won't hear a peep out if them.

They have as many miles as you want to run.  Despite being governed at 68moh, one can do 3600 miles a week, solo.

They're very good at getting you  home when needed, and don't really mind how long you stay off, leaving you the judge of how long is acceptable.  They don't make me move out of my truck for time off, either, though they might if it's longer than 2 weeks.

FCC is a solid company to drive for. The dispatchers are respectful and professional—they don’t micromanage and they listen. Equipment is in excellent condition, and any maintenance needs are handled quickly. Loads are consistent, and I always knew what to expect. Hometime requests were respected, which made work-life balance easier. Pay was fair, and I never had issues with getting paid on time. Management communicates well and treats drivers with respect. If you're a dependable driver, FCC is a great place to be.

They tried there very best to cause dange to my semi every time they did a dot inspection on it. There goal was for me to lose my truck and bankrupt me so they could try and get me to lease one of there trucks!  Do not ever lease your truck on with FCC and do not ever lease one of FCC trucks! I terminated my lease with them onn11-28-18 because of damage they did to my Semi!! Stay away from this company!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Laid back atmosphere not micro managed just do the work  . Home time.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting actual raise that you see on your check. Pay is on the low side of the industry. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly office personnel they all seem to know you by name. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pick up my load drive to receiver and wait to deliver.

If you like being micro managed they are ok. I made one little mistake and from that point forward was being watched and had a safety manager looking over my shoulder every minute.  Ultimately I was let go because I was diagnosed with a non restrictive medical condition.  Also if you do get into an accident you might as well figure that you will be terminated for whatever reason they can find real or not

I enjoyed working at FCC.  They try to do things right for the drivers.  The only issues I ever had were more related to the industry and after a while I decided it was best for me to retire because as I became older I was less interested in the long hours on the road required for this career.  I would recommend FCC for any drivers looking for a long term company

They will lie to you from day one and treat you like an expendable piece of equipment. My dispatcher was great, but upper management is a disaster. Nothing special about FCC compared to other trucking companies.
