JCT lease purchase data. Know before you go.

Yes they are. Know your facts b4 you bash.

 

I think it's great that @TAfool shared this data.

Is JCT the absolute best? Of course not.
Can you make easy money and not sacrifice personal time in the process? Absolutely.

It's a business. Run it as such.

JCT pays for a ton of stuff that other companies charge their drivers for:
Tolls, lumpers, scales, fuel tax, empty miles, pre pass, pike pass, ez pass, reefer fuel, permits, base plates, 2290.

Drivers pay for fuel and maintenance on their truck. Q com, insurance are minimal.

Now compare EVERYTHING and you'll see that 90¢/mile +fsc for ALL miles isn't such a terrible thing.

 

I have the same expenses,get $1.04+fsc,loaded and mt,and load over 42000# pays an extra .04 CPM ,85% drop and hook,and last month I averaged ,39 CPM off the pump price.I have a close friend leased on at JCT, she does alright,but works twice as hard as I do for less money.

 

I get all this stuff free also....

 

Oh yeah and I don't have to deal with frickin Tyson plants, and grocery warehouses

 

So?? One person's vinegar is another's wine. I was with jct and swear I'll never pull another reefer or go into another tyson or food warehouse. Some feel the same about tarping coils in blazing sun and humidity or bone numbing cold.

Then there are the drop and hook kings with orange trailers who think everyone else is crazy.

Enjoy what you have if you like it. Find what fits you if you don't.

Now I gotta find a load to tarp.

 

TAFool's data is pretty much spot on. Median average of about 32 to 35 cpm is what I'm profiting as well. Our discounts for fuel have changed this past year, but for the better I think. With fuel surcharge and rebates for PFJ fuel, I'm seeing a significant difference in lower fuel costs. I don't really like the method for getting the rebates via EFS card, but if it nets me more at the end of the day, I can deal with it.

 

It's still a bad lease deal with the cheap freight and in many cases low miles

 

JCT is horrible Takes you 5 years to own the truck, hauling for low rate per mile, and by the time you pay off the truck is almost worthless. I rather do the Ace lease at Prime and own the truck in 3-4 years, have around 420k or less miles when lease is done, and still have it under warranty. After last payment, the title can be picked up or mailed to your home. I've met multiple JCT drivers not clearing over $800 a week. I'll rather deal with any problems at PRIME than earn that Amy weekly and take 5 years to own geez.
