Running with JCT, Part Deux

Will be in ok on the 7th for my start with jct looking forward to running with the jct team

 

Ok. Educate us, or at least me

 

Fixed It For Ya

 

I was reading the Desperate in Dodge City thread over in the Swift Forum and it was a driver that was having trouble with setting the opti-idle on his truck. Someone asked him what kind of truck did he have. His response was Freightliner International Pro star Eagle. I busted out laughing on that one.

 

I swear I spied a 780 JCT truck on the 70 east bound Thursday. Was I hallucinating?

 

It was either an O/O or one of Volvo test trucks.

 

Lol I seen that as well. I need to get me one of them there freightshaker porn stars! Eagle trim too! Boy howdy! Haha.

Even thought I don't drive for jct anymore, still following this thread. Id liken it to an extended lecture on trucking, teaming, mpg, fuel costs, etc.

Hell I think this and the previous thread should be required reading for wannabe lease ops and owner ops. Stay safe drivers.

Got me a FANTASTIC load out of the NW. Pick up Friday, deliver Monday night. Albany, OR - North Platte, NE. 1400 miles in 4 days. Not sure I can make that. Way to use my truck and hours productively Ryan McKee (NW Planner). Looks like I'll be getting a 34 hour break on this load.

In brighter news, still getting over 8 MPG regardless of what I'm hauling, how much I'm hauling, or where I'm running. I guess that's the optimist in me shining through. Wait, I'm not an optimist....I'm a realist.

Safe running everyone

 

so with that 34hr restart, would u drive balls out to get close to the destination and then take the 34, or would u drive, take the 34, and then continue to the destination?

 

and I second unloader's motion that these two threads be required reading before somebody starts at JCT...
