Running with JCT, Part Deux

Time to ruin some people's day....

once it's seen, it can't be un-seen...

 

Tennessee Man Sues Popeye's

The guy got scammed on Craigslist and somehow it's Popeye's fault.

 

Many years ago a guy sold an X Box box on E Bay, when X Box was the hot Xmas item ... Clearly stated that there was no X Box, but was the box the X Box came in ... Went for something around $300.

 

Popeye's should get a court order ordering that clown to pay their attys fees for responding to it..

 

Ok so...I had a pickup in Greeley on Friday at 1200 after dropping in Denver Wednesday at 2000. So 34 hour reset...Cool....no real complaint as my 70 was kinna jankey but workable...

Delivers Tuesday 1200 Laredo...Ok I could be in Fort Worth OR Laredo Saturday....

1200 appointment Friday...Loaded at 0215 Saturday (Thanks Lineage)...Ok...I could still be in Fort Worth early Sunday morning, get dropped and find something else...(Downtime 50 hours total)

And not allowed drop in Fort Worth. 1100 mile load from Friday to Tuesday...Basically I could have taken 2 34s on this both front and back end. (Stopped and saw family en route so it wasn't a total pickle ride, but if they had flat out just said NO on the drop ahead of time instead of "We're checking we're checking." I would have just hung out longer...)

I'm sure I'll deliver Tuesday, and get a Wednesday pickup that delivers Monday or something that I wont be able to drop either...

I can say I'm noticing a dip in my miles over the long term average....

 

This is the only thing I'm saying....the Texas planner is no longer with JCT as of about two weeks ago.

 

Yeah which is why I'm cutting him some slack along with it being the holiday. Just sucks begging for drop for 4 days...

 

Why you should do a walk around before and after the brakes are released. It appeared fine until I released the brakes.

 

Well they are called breaks...

Oh wait...

 

So on this website, it states that Swift drivers makes more money than JCT. So what do you guys think about that? It’s on page 8
