What is the SIDE NOTE (based on yr lease)?
How much is the maximum maintenance? They say 160.00 a week but does it max out?
Also do you get your performance bond back if you leave or change trucks?

With 15 people in orientation every week, how many trucks are there to choose from? What is the majority of there trucks? Everything sounds good, but I would hate to be stuck with a truck I dont want. Thx for your input.

Kentucky24 ...I go on the 16th of feb. They had a opening on the 26th but I didn't feel right given Maverick that short of a notice (5 days), so I kept my date of the 16th. I am now ready and looking foward to going. I turned my truck in today at Maverick and plan on taken this week off to relax and get some things done around the house. I will post as the process goes. Hope all is going great with you, and best of luck.

My wife and I teamed in a T-600 for a year.We survived but it was close quarters. We are in a Freightliner Classic XL. We like the room and storage.
Our next truck will be a Cascadia. Fuel mpg is an issue

LMB,

Could you tell me how much mpg drivers are getting with a cascadia? Also, will your payment go up or stay the same? In addition, could you tell me if JCT is hiring in central fl. I know a friend who might be interested. Also, do you write a check out to JCT or is it payroll deduct for their lease?

KH

I understand that you are looking to get into a Cascadia just curious if you looked at the prostar and if so what did you think?
