btw....hello all,dont post here or on facebook much lately due to high MILEAGE weeks,,,even when i was having problems here, i was getting miles,,,and now i come back here and see the posts concerning low miles,,,odd,,doesn,t compute,,most everyone on the apple pie gang../lmb fan club dont post much right now due to high MILEAGE days/weeks,,,i was given this advise several different ways when i came here,,,,COMMUNICATE, it is YOUR truck and YOUR business,,dont be timid, if you are not getting what you need SPEAK UP! get on the phone,,,l,talk to other drivers (the ones with good attitudes) dont quit asking/calling/ talking,ranting/ until you get a satisfactory answer.no one but you is responsible for YOUR business,,if you want to suceed,,,,,,,SPEAK UP>>>BE PROACTIVE>>>>ASSERT YOURSELF>>>TAKE CONTROL>>>and be WILLING TO TAKE THE CRAPPY LOADS SOMETIMES....that last one is very important,,,,that crappy load is almost always used to get you in a bettrer freight area....jct doesnt want your truck sitting,,,they dont get any money from an idle truck,,and you will not be successfull until you decide that you are the boss and you treat this opportunity as a personal business......i hate to rant but i am sick and tired of the winers and complainers out here that think they can operate like a company driver and let their dm make every desicion and never take the reigns themselves,,,then get on here and whine about not making it...be the boss or go get in a company tuck and hold that wheel sissies.....AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking good. Been off over 14 days, so the wife and I had to take a drug screen, so 2 more days of lounging around waiting for the results to come back. Off to the recliner

Oh no LMB. Your becoming famous. Was at Sweet Peas trk stop in AR yesterday and saw an old freightshaker that had L.M.B trucking on the side. Selling rights to your name now for some extra bucks? LMAO

Just an update... I've been in a quandry about FB. I have artsy friends, truckin friends and family there... too many worlds converging in one place... plus privacy issues, so I have deleted everyone off FB except family... and they may go also... LOL.

So... most of you have my number.... you can email me any time... PM and I'll give it to you if you don't have it. I still want to meet up and keep up with you... alan we owe you a meal or two and we plan on keeping that promise! I'll post here when I can... unfortunately my new cell phone is NOT friendly with this site at all so posting here can only be done with my laptop.... which I use less now that I have my new cell phone... always trade offs...

Yup... been busy running...

Glad to see you're about to be on the road again LMB... hopefully we will meet up soon.

Reminder... THIS thread is for your FAVORITE trucking company, which in this case is JCT. Please take negative, bashing post to the proper thread. Thank you.
