Thanks Alanp613, I have my sites and heart set on a Pete 379 with APU. I know this isnt the most fuel efficient truck out there but its what I want. There are things that can be done to the truck, be it electronically, mechanically or just plain driving style that can make these hoods very competitive in the MPG race. Another ? I came up with is, is there any compensation for detention or layovers, do they pay or reimburse for lumper services or anything else along these lines that could potentially be an out of pocket expense or a non profit hold back?/

Alanp613 Thanks this.

As far as 379 they aren't ordering any new ones. The ones we got on the road now are 07 or older. By February there may be only cascadias and prostars available but I've heard a rumor they r ordering 386 and cascadias next.

Older is good for me, that would hopefully mean the price would be come way down. I have a very close friend that works for The Pete Store in VA and he used to work for Freightliner. He said to steer away from the cascadias at all costs. They are having tons and tons of problems, as with the Pete 387's, but he says the 386's are a very decent truck. But Im just really wanting a hood. Just like the Pete the best but any hood will do. Guess time will tell.

I appreciate all the objective posts about about Jct. It has motivated me to leave the Company I have been with for 8 years and their joke of of a lease. Jct really seems to to be the dream gig. Just a few Questions, Is it forced dispatch? How much Nyc is involved? and how often do you chain up?
-
I have been to NYC once in 2 years, nd that was to get rid of a damaged load
Chain UP???? Isn't that French for "find a motel" -

Look out world, coming back to work in a couple of weeks. Just in time for the spring thaw(yeah right)
