JCT

Hello everybody I have a few questions I am hopeing can be answered here. I have been very interested in jct for a long time now but have been alittle leary of trying the lease purchase deal. I am a former owner operator who knows how the game works. I would have put my truck on with jct but I am sure as most of you all know most companies today are looking for 5 years or newer I had a 1998 old jbhunt cabover condo I loved the truck and could not find nobody to put it on with. I sold the truck and have been running company for a bit. Can anybody please give me some information? I have read through most of the forum and it seems like there are quite a bit of drivers who are very successful with them. Myself I am a bit of a skeptic and would love to have some more info on it.
I also would like to know if you get the truck that you want or are you stuck with what is left over?

If u can't make it legal then u need to get with dispatch right away. Don't wait til the very last minute Luke some people. Communication is the key

Coldsholder
please list specifics what else u want to know. As far as trucks its whats available at time of orientation

 

alan thanks for your quick response, i have heard from a few drivers that they have been told to do the load regardless, but as in most cases this probally due to lack of communication

 

I appreciate the comeback alanp613.
How long is the lease?
Are there any hidden fees?
If you happen to jump into a truck that you do not want will they let you switch to another one that you do want?

 

The lease depends on the truck you get 09-newer is 5 years and a side note for 5k down
There r no hidden charges. All is in the contract
After 90 days if u request a trade they will review how you've been running and how well you r keeping up with ur maintenance escrow. If they approve u can trade for something in the yard u like as long as its an upgrade. Nothing older

 

do they have health insurance, and how often can i go home, right now i stay out 18 days then home for 3 or 4, i live in houston, texas

They prefer at least 3 weeks out. In my opinion to be sucessful stay put at least 4-5 weeks then take Friday sat and sun off. Anymore you will come out making a 0 chk or in the hole the following week. Remember you're running a business here not running a company truck where you don't have to worry about anything.

As far as insurance they have supplemental insurance

 

Busy, busy running the roads. Still happy here...

 

Well we'll get to see how JCT is in a little over a week! start my orientation on the 14th. Wish me some luck! lol hope to see all you JCT drivers on the road sometime.
