    Welcome back buddy. So far all we know as of now is probably more prostars. Maybe some 386. They probably won't get anymore cascadias cuz freightliner has been sending a bill for warranty work they didn't wanna cover or something along those lines from what I've heard. So I think that deal is off.

    Yea the JCT drivers united just search for it. Then make yourself a fan. Be sure to post something too lol unlike these others that's been silent.

    Hey Welcome Back, Glad u have a new date set, As far as trucks go, Alan had the same info that I have heard. As far as the Cascadia, I would stay away, I have met two drivers now that are pretty upset with them, from general quality of materials, fit/finish, silly things breaking, and warranty claims. Also remember u may see all new Prostars in the bullpen on Monday but come Wed. the trucks will all change after u arrive for class. The first 90 days is your time to prove u can run for John. I would concentrate on that 1st and truck 2nd. U can pick what u want after 90 days. If I had to do it again I might have opted for the cheapest truck on the list, learned how to get the best mpg possible by shifting ect. Then said after 90 give me this! I luv my K-900 though, maybe a train of thought for someone else though. Again welcome back and best wishes!

    yup for some reason the cascadias that we got, the exhaust on them wasn't chrome anymore after several thousand miles.. they have turned blue, when you take it to freightshaker they just claim that it's normal. Also if you take a truck in and tell them there is a problem with it, they will say nothing came up on the computer so we can't fix anything.

    Well today was my 90 Day Anniversary and I'm still here so I guess I made the cut! Pretty happy about that and with JCT and my Kenworth! I have met alot of you or spoke to you on the phone as well as many drivers not on the Board. I am pretty proud of the caliber of Drivers we have here and everyone's Professionalism! I am #### proud to drive under the JCT Banner! Thanks all who have helped me complete this journey! What a long strange trip it has been and it went very fast! Delivering in California on Monday then heading back to Delaware for some Home Time! Been running 8 weeks, time to visit friends and family and share the adventure!

    GREAT!!!! just one thing after another. First they tell me I'm at the wrong place to deliver. Now 5 hours later in the door, they tell me that they had stacked the boxes with the labels facing the wrong direction so they have to turn all 700 cases of them the right way.. this place makes walmart look superior lol. They are on par with Safeway though hahaah, maybe HEB and Safeway are the same company

    yep made it to facebook site,,,good page,,but everyone on this thread needs to get in there and get it up and running,,,,also will b happy enough to get just about any trk,,,,have driven most all types,,,a little proactive shifting and soft throttle starts will get 5mpg or better out of the worst fuel hogs,,,that;ll keep me above 650.oo wk after taxes,,,good enough,,,any over that is IRA funds anyway

    He doesn't work here yet. He was just throwing some estimates out there on what he's expecting I guess. If u do it right you should b able to get 650 off 2500 miles
