Running with JCT, Part Deux

It's kw's with the Cummins engine

 

I don't know what motor JCT had put in their KWs. So, I shared it just in case.

 

1 gallon zip lock freezer bags.... Ask 99% of JCT drivers, they never heard of such a beast.

 

If you're going through Ontario Oregon, the Pacific Pride across from the loves accepts EFS current price 2.94 compared to 3.36ish in the area.

It's B5 as well...

 

So, I'm doing my pretrip this morning while answering some questions another driver had about JCT. I get to the trailer lights and notice that the side marker is inop. It has a replaceable bulb, so, I take off the cover to see what size. I get my little box of bulbs and the other driver askef me why I have so many bulbs and sizes. I simply said because I never know when I will need one. Like now, I have the right bulb here and don't have worry about buying one inside the truck stop.

He then says but it's not your trailer so wht do it. I rolled my eyes and bit my tounge and simply responded with it is my trailer while it's on my truck. Therefore anything wrong or goes wrong with it is my responsibility. And I swear this is whats wrong with drivers now a days. He comes back with that it's the compnay trailer and they should fix it themselves whenever it's at the yard and drivers shouldn't have to do anything other take them to load and unload.

Instead of getting in an agruement with the guy; I told him that JCT isn't for you then because JCT expects drivers to take care of the trailers and get stuff fixed (even though it's always neen a huge problem here; we don't need more drivers like that). He says #### that I'm staying where I'm at and walked away.

 

God forbid he has to change a bulb...hate to see what happens when he needs to change a gladhand seal....

 

And this just reminded me that I need to pick up some more gladhand seals. Thank you.

But yeah, I can just see him trying to explain to the inspection officer why his gladhand leaks.

 

You just saved yourself and other drivers future headaches! The industry needs less steering wheel holders; like him and more professionals, as youself.

 

He would never have a clue!

 

I’m not going to sit and wait for breakdown for 90 min to 3 hours when I can fix it in a matter of minutes.
Time = Money
