JCT

Really? I drove for Stevens for quite a while. I learned that the happy vs. unhappy drivers was a 50/50 mix. Instead of using loose leaf logs, I was taught how to properly run 3 logbooks. Where do you think I first learned "creative logging?" I do have lots of good to say about them. I was happy there for the most part. I only had minor problems here and there. But I left more than five years ago. And I've heard that many of the changes WEREN'T for the better...

 

Primeexample why don't you tell us all where you work. I bet everyone can guess, I wish the moderators on here would stop you from coming on here bad mouthing JCT to recruit people to Stevens so you can get a referral fee.

 

Here in Houston, TX waiting to get unloaded. My Pre Plan is Houston, TX to Clackamas, OR Pickup today deliver Monday 2291 miles 458 miles a day average, what's so tough about that. So far I have driven over 6700 miles in the last 12 days and had a good nights sleep everyday except 1 day and I ran hard that day because I was not tired and just felt like driving. I drove 830 miles that day but I did it in two shifts that day 715 for 11 hours and the rest after a 10 hour break.

As far as Keith goes I never hear from him, he qcoms me my loads I deliver them and I get a PrePlan and then the load, if you don't want to argue with him just get your load and deliver it without calling him or anyone else. I think they have excellent Macros for communicating.

 

Keep updating once you get up here. I'm in Kent waiting to get a dock. After that, I'm taking the weekend off for my mom's funeral. I'm expecting to hit the road monday. The last couple of times I've been home, I've picked up in Kent heading to Indiana. We will probably be running the same way at the same time. Maybe we can meet up somewhere.

 

Are you kidding me?? Well if you wanna just lease a truck and not get to own it then I guess you can go with them. Plus they only pay .85 cpm. You gotta pay 70% of tolls. how is that a good lease program? Plus stevens drivers don't run legal either. I've been there and talked to other drivers for a whole year. 8 out of 10 of them works their books. Stop spewing bs prime. You got no facts to back yourself up

 

If that's all they are running a week, then there shouldn't even be a discussion on cooking log books. Those are easy miles. I did 4200 week before last legal. Granted, all the stars were in alignment and I got loaded and unloaded quickly, but if you plan ahead, it really isn't that hard to do. Like I said before, most of the problems are out of our hands. If a shipper wants to take 5 or 6 hours to load you, there isn't a heck of a lot you can do about it.

 

Sure will Grizzly, I'll PM you my phone number also.

 

I'm in Jolly Texas getting ready to take a nap, I plan on Stopping at the Flying J in Limon, CO tomorrow night then the Flying J Friday night in Ogden UT and slide into Boise at the Flying J Saturday morning and take a much needed 34 hr restart until Sunday night then roll over to Clackamas, OR Monday morning. I may change this but that's kinda my schedule as anyone can see this is not hard running as people think shoot it's only about 560 miles a day avg for this load.

if your gonna be near any of those let me know we can have a cup of coffee.
