JCT(john christner trucking)....continued

No I'm from San Diego. My kids are from there and up until January I had been living there for about six years.

 

On a lease of a new truck with JCT is it supposed to take 5 years to be paid off?
I don't mind a lease, I did two for CR England successfully, But I was hoping for a shorter term on a lease, if I can't find a decent company driver position.

 

It really depends on the age of the truck you select. Many of the trucks available are 4 years or less. The new 2014 would be a 5 years. Not too bad with a 1.00 payoff.

 

Spending my 34 hour restart in Paul's valley waiting to unload in the morning. Taking the opportunity to start prepping the truck for next months truck show and contest.

 

Yeah, me too. I'm gonna wipe down the driver's door with a windshield squeegee and put some fresh duct tape over the paint chips by the fuel tank!

 

Now that sounds fun.

 

Yeah. Got me some Hello Kitty duct tape to beautify the truck! Enjoy polishing your knob there in OK, I'll see if David has something to get me out of Colton.

 

How often do you wash your truck?

 

During a normal month 2 times. With 2 truck shows including a contest I will be participating in at the Walcott truck show, Once a week while I hand wax and prep

 

I've been looking at l/p. I first looked at Schneider and there payments are right around 800 a week for a new 2014 evolution plus maintenance and insurance and Qualcomm and other crap it's over 1000 a week. How does that compare to jct? What's the break down of your weekly payments? Could a guy that wants to get home let's say every 2 weeks for a weekend make it? I really don't want to stay out any longer then that as I have 5 kids at home a fiancé and a baby on the way. Family is more important then money but as a company driver I'm just not making the money I need to support everyone comfortably. Would you advise guys looking to get into l/p to have a "emergency fund" setup before signing on the dotted line?
