Running with JCT

Yippie!!! My bud's eastbound towards me! Should be back out rolling tomorrow afternoon towards Lake City!

 

Be PREPARED for some not TOO NICE WEATHER

 

I am sorry for the misunderstanding of my writing. I thought you were referring to the fact that you might be interested in going with JCT. You are with Central if I am correct. Just thought you might be looking elsewhere. Sorry for the misinterpretation.

 

We are looking around... Don't want to be blind sided and not know which way to go... So no misinterpretation, but also looking at a few other places as well. Options...

 

Reading with subdued but unabashed amusement at all the cheerleading for this company...

I brought my own horse (fully and completely paid for) to this stinking rodeo and their inept customer service, load planners and dispatching style just about ruined my business. The lease-purchasees were far worse off than I was, as I could take my ball and go home (I eventually did..) but they were stuck in Johnny-and-Danny-Land...

You guys and gals can do much better than JCT.

 

I was leased to JCT when John and Danny bought the Orange County Chopper bikes and sent the "showboat" (that new freightliner rig that was supposedly a gift..) to pick them up. I was there when they rolled them out on the yard in front of the office for everyone to gawk at. That was also the day that female driver had the nervous breakdown in the shop because of the negative settlements caused by outrageous repair bills JCT was foisting on her for that POS Cascadia JCT had "sold" her..

Only positives I can say about that place was my DM, who was constantly at the bottom of the crap pile because she actually liked and respected her drivers, and the breakdown folks there at the gate. Never did like how I was treated by the weekend people in dispatch nor most of the shop jocks either...

JCT definitely isn't the place for an experienced owner-operator (as I found out - many months and dollars later - but I needed to get my truck working..) but if you are feeling positive karma with that place, far be it from me to disparage you. Good Luck!

 

What YEAR where you leased on with JCT?

 

It was fun there on paper can,t imagine their system on e logs you guys are getting a shaft though checkout the invoices on those meat loads outbound at 2.50 to 3.00 a mile and they are passing down 1.35 and you get to pay for the truck...,,,john is my hero for doing this x,s 900
