LOL. Every driver should take this route once. And ONLY once! I went through there with a heavy load.Did you at least have one of the fabled sub - 10,000# loads of cream cheese?

It's even better if you Google earth it. Never again will I take that route

Joker, you are right, Az has many treacherous routes.
Joker85 Thanks this. -
10k# I wish. 42,244.92lbs is what the bills say.
Seriously? I can't believe that post was that long. Had to take Ritalin a couple of times just reread it -
Daniel, that made me cry. Your trip seemed so eerily similar to some of the trips Tim and I have been on. I feel for ya, guy! Tim is looking at his Atlas right now, taking note of that route to stay away from.
I hope you have made it home by now. Have a blessed Christmas and stay home with your family for New Year's if you can!
Annie and Tim -
I have a question for you guys. My husband and I drive team with JCT right now and we are having a hard time getting miles and we will sit on a load for days before we can deliver. We send in the macro 41 daily like we're suppose too. Our dispatcher never gets back with us and there is no communication between us. We've talked to Marty about this in he says hang in there an it will get better. We held a load two weeks ago and missed the settlement cut off which means we have a -400 check this week. Any advice
We're fixing to jump ship -
I've used Garmins for years, car versions, and you've got to double check the route even if you've got it set for fastest time and all highways. It'll route you through some tiny roads because the algorithm says that way is 1 second faster.
Looks like I'll be in the picturesque Jessup T/A until 0430. Beats a Walmart parking lot the day after Christmas. Less scary people, this from the 6'10" former powerlifter and talking about this T/A! LolLast edited: Dec 26, 2013

I was figuring in around 175-200k on steers and around 300-350k on drives from new. Thats barring road hazards and season depending, its worth more to head into winter with good tread than trying to run the tires down to DOT minimums.
Does JCT have a set tire or do they let you choose based on rolling resistance, virgin vs recap or brand? -

T/A I'm so sorry to hear of your adventure through Snake River Canyon I went up that way 1(one) Time and decided next time I pick up Copper in Miami at the mine, I'm not going that way to Kansas, I'll back track! Glad you made it, glad you sacrificed the Holiday with your family, I hope all is well at the homestead and that you get ack to them as quickly as possible! Stay safe, We are thinking of you. To the rest of you as you head back out or are still safe, stay safe, remember now it is the New Year that is on everyones minds, I know I think of it as another one in the can and nothing much is changing 'round here for a while but it is what it is. Good Luck to all of you!
