<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jlkklj777, post: 799175, member: 10886&quot;]It sounds as if you and your husband have found a home at JCT. I truly hope it continues to be a profitable arrangement for you both.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have a tendency to be extremely loyal to my employers. Whether it was pushing a lawn mower, washing dishes, working at McDonalds as a young man in high school, being a radio announcer for a small town radio station, or driving a truck all over the country. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The key to success is hard work and dedication. Obviously your husband has that work ethic and has a supportive woman in his corner to boot. I too have a fine woman in my corner. She does drive but really dislikes the job and the travel away from home. She normally just keeps me company and provides a legal second logbook for when I need some rest.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Things seem to be improving for me at Eastern. My former dispatcher (Ray) offered us a new dedicated route from Camp Hill Pa to Miami Florida in place of the Montgomery Ny to Ellenwood Ga run. We have been complaining about the lack of miles and being laid over in Georgia so management has attempted to accomodate us. Of course this means we will have to step up and run a bit harder than we are accustomed to but it is better to be employed and running hard than working but not earning enough to pay ones bills (or even worse unemployed).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The other good thing is this will free up those 900 mile Ga runs for some solo&#039;s to beef up their miles each week (even if they have to relay the loads between drivers).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I doubt the wife and I will earn as much money this year as we did last year but we should still be okay provided NEMF can keep this route steady for us.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of course I will keep monitoring the JCT posts and threads to become as informed as I can about that company. Who knows maybe they will even decide to open a yard up in the central Pa area to expand their operational area.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Safe Journey and happy trails to you both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
