I've hauled some loads for Wally World. Not my favorite either (let me get this straight... You want me to pay you to get your stuff?). I know refer is a whole other beast. However, people have to eat. So, the miles should stay a little more consistent. I would hope.

JCT paid mega bucks for this system and in my opinion is a pretty good system.
The downfall seems to come to 2 major factors: A. A driver won't drive in a particular area of the country. B. More trucks than loads available in a particular area -

If the sweet spot is 55-58 mph, so be it. Drive that speed. If it's 65 or 69, drive that. Unfortunately, my truck's sweet spot is 55-58 mph.
Drivers think the best way to make money at JCT is miles. IT IS NOT!
You earn 90¢ / + FSC. Your truck payment is anywhere from 17-23¢/mile. Maintenance is 5¢/mile. That means you are earning 62-68¢/ mile + FSC.
The goal is very simple. Keep as much of that 62-68¢/mile in your pocket.
There is 1 way to do this, broken into 2 sub sections. FUEL: broken into FUEL PURCHASE & FUEL CONSUMPTION.
Get the most mileage out of your fuel and buy the cheapest fuel you can find, WHETHER YOU NEED IT OR NOT.
The truck payment being variable means that it is directly proportional to the miles you turn in.
This is why some drivers can BRING HOME more with 2200 miles than a driver with 3000 miles.drvrtech77, MachoCyclone and Bigrigger77 Thank this. -

I'm leaning torwards a Ftl. That paccar motor is to big of a risk. Is there any way to increase your chance of getting the truck you want. Don't want one off the showroom. Just lower miles. I know how to tell how many people have had a truck by the number, letter on the end increases after every driver. Looking for one with less than a D.

Every truck JCT has ordered from the 2nd batch of 2014's is spec'd for fuel economy. The newer the model year, the better it is set up. The goal is to get the fleet to run minimum 7.5 MPG. Steadily averaging 8.3 to 8.7 is not unrealistic.
