Good or Bad??

yes you get the truck you want but u also can pay up to $5000 more because they say you have to pay on any wear and tare on the vehicle u are currently in, including ties, brakes, engine, there is a catch

 

At this time the more we think about it, we will just look for new company to work for
company we are with now is slowly going under, and will not have future here. Thanks foe all the info.

 

O look its jjw spreading misinformation here too. By getting truck you want are you meaning something you like on the yard???? Because anything other that that isn't true. You can't specify a certain truck that you want and they order it for you. Also If youre trading in of course you will be responsible for any repairs. Just like a car lease. Obviously from your posts you've never been an owner op or lease op.

 

no i ment u can get any truck on the yard< i worked there and checked into it, believe me i wouldnt try to misinform anyone, and yes of course i was a lease op , obviously had to be to work there, as they don't hire company drivers lol

 

jct current drivers, i am about to start a new endeavor with jct and i am not to proud to say im a newbie..not at trucking but at refer and lease op operations. i have been a tanker yanker for 10yrs and decided id try something new..im looking for someone who would be willing to help me out...not a hand holder, i think im bigger than that, but with answers to q's and when i dont understand something cause i'll never pretend to know it all....let me tell you what you get in return...im in my 3rd career(24yrs w/1 airline 14 in mgmt, 7yrs in construction, 10yrs in trucking),honest and hard working. im dad to 7 and husband to 1 and i may be nuts but i am so looking forward to joining ya'll..thanks

 

Lease a truck from Ryder or Penske and you can find your own freight and haul your own loads. You are not DEPENDENT upon them for your income. Just make your payments on-time.

You are not a true "independent contractor" at JCT and these other lease-purchase companies. If they don't send you loads, you sit. But your fixed costs don't sit, they keep adding up.

 

do you have to have haz-mat at JCT?

 

No hazmat required. For more info go thru the main forum. Most your questions will be answered within the thread plus you'll get an idea what its all about.

Hey JJW. I know that you aren't supposed to do anything to trucks,like lights etc.,and yes I do understand ramifications if they take truck back and have to strip any mods but are they REALLY strict about it or will they kinda look the other way if you seem to be a good hand?

 

LOL.That's laughable!There's a lot more to it than just go rent a truck from ryder and haul your own loads.Come on man.
