VERY nice!!!
Even with $1056 in fuel (ignoring the first fill up), you did very well. That is a LOT of miles!
Were they pushing you or did you just leisurely drive all those miles with no prodding? -
didnt really push me at all... they gave me the load assignment and I ran it... enough said... as someone said earlier... my left door isnt shut... its welded shut
-

Nice! I ran flatbed for..... the "Swift of flatbed companies" for my last driving job. I was regional (first mistake) and loads were very scarce. The only time I managed to get any meaningful loads was leaving NC for Dallas or Houston, dropping off the load and sitting around one of their terminals there waiting for little 120mi (at best) loads. I worked on percentage, so when the paychecks went down to about $200/wk, I begged for runs out of the region if possible.
I loved the long drives over a couple days, then unloading/untarping and doing it again. No way on earth I'd go back to that sort of arrangement. You JCT drivers have it good.
I shoulda stuck it out and waited for a JCT opportunity to come around.

yall should ask excelguy about his 4300 mile adventure that started on his first load.
From what i heard he had the experience of a lifetime lol

Excel, I don't rush when I have time. The other part of keeping your door shut is keeping your foot out of it. I'm working hard to get 6.2/3 out of this 379. Today was easy with the light load but my total for the week is 6.1 over 4000+ miles.
Too bad they welded your door shut while you were in the casino. LOL J/K.
I'm calling it a day in Eloy and I'll drive the last 61 miles in the morning. -
Is it really huckleberry? : )

Does JCT take your truck payments out?

Kinghunter
yes they do, but they don't start taking it out like 2-3 weeks after orientation. So the first few weeks you should run all the miles you can to catch up on the orientation week that you didn't get paid
The Challenger, Vette1967 and SilveradoBlue Thank this. -
LMB I saw the truck at the phoenix yard today that you recovered... i agree.... NASTY AS HELL!!!!!!
