I will tell you what I tell other guys looking to own a truck. Get a few grand together, find an old Freightliner or whatever, with a fresh in frame and a decent set of tires that will pass a DOT inspection. You want a pre EPA/EGR truck, unless a Cummins CM-870, that is a good motor. Find a small outfit with freight, they are out there, that pay above $2 a mile and put that truck to work. Go make money, and repair the truck as you go. Don't worry about paint or dents and dings. As long as she holds fuel and runs, the rest you can take care of as you go.
You can finance a truck like that, and be able to afford it. If you can gross $4000 a week, which is easy, and have a $700 a month truck payment, and say $100 a month bobtail, you are golden. Pay the truck off in a year and be done with it. Now, you can really start banking some coin. No truck payment, just put that in the bank like you still have the payment. And bank roll... Roll Roll Roll...
JCT is offering you nothing but a headache and stress. They will OWN you, Lock Stock and Barrel. You will work 100 hours and get a check for $400... And look at what you just did to earn that money? And then look at all of that money that SHOULD be in your pocket.
This is not a game, and outfits like JCT, paying rates that were piss poor THIRTY YEARS ago for reefer freight? Seriously? You can do much better.arni, mladen86, CrappieJunkie and 1 other person Thank this. -

Reefers can be full of BS. I am pulling reefers now and I know some customers can be disorganized and mean to the truckers. Along with having to deal with noisy reefers while you sleep. And also some customers like to have the trailers ridiculously super squeaky clean, when you are a truck driver not a trailer cleaner. Yes, reefers can be full of BS.
I met a JCT guy. Said he had 6 years with them and was super happy. Saw some JCT posts here too saying they were happy. I don’t know how they do it if y’all are saying JCT sucks.jeff18, Justrucking2 and scottied67 Thank this. -

We just got a raise to $0.96 base rate per mile. JCT offers a great way to purchase a brand new truck. The fixed payment is only $120 bucks a week and the variable payment is $0.23 per dispatched mile. Trucks are set at $156K equipped with inverter/APU, fridge A/C leather seats and much more.
RBPC, Jarhed1964, kbarttt and 2 others Thank this.
