Now I don't have a dog in this fight, but personally, I would never lease a truck from the same outfit I was contracted with....Way too much room to put the screws to you, if they choose too....Seen it happen way too many times over the years....As far as "reading the lease carefully", ok, but remember, the carrier has atty's that are paid big $$$ to protect the carriers interests, not yours...Chose wisely, as most fail....As far as .90 CPM being good $$$, heck, we were making that back in the mid 80's, at that time it was good $$$.....Double that amount and you might be on track considering todays inflation.....
JCT lease purchase data. Know before you go.

This is a duplicated post from the "Running With JCT" thread. Its a simple sheet to get a good estimate on what your next check will be.
I don't click links unless I know what they are, so in that vane, here is a pic of my "next check estimator":
As can be seen, its super easy.
In the first section, load info (green): enter a load number if desired (I enter just the last 3 digits). Enter the loaded and empty miles. Change the fsc, if needed, to the latest number. That's it.
Second section, fuel info (yellow): enter the date (if desired) and amount spent on fuel. That's it.
Second section, expenses (first red boxes): Change the fixed costs to whatever yours are (Qualcomm, insurances etc) and adjust the lease rate and maintenance to your numbers (select the $ amount boxes to change, not the description). Mine are in at .18 and .12. Enter the number of times you bought fuel. Done.
Second section, add-ons (red and green boxes): enter any charges in the red (like cash advances), credits in green (like bonus money) and number of added stops. Add a name in the white box if desired.
Third section, DEF (yellow): enter a date, if desired, and the amount. All done.
It takes less than a minute to enter it all so its quick and easy. It will only show the upcoming check amount, it won't do anything else!
My wife is always asking, "what's your next check going to be?", not "I miss you" or "are you coming home this weekend?" so I made this sharable with her so she can access it at any time. Funny, she never calls anymore....wonder what that means?.

PS. Oh yeah, its two of the same thing so the following pay can be started while the current is in limbo land. Enter dates in the header so you don't mix them up!
Pps. It automatically figures either $0.93 or $0.90 based on the miles.Last edited: Jun 28, 2016
