    IMPORTANT MESSAGE

    To those drivers that have never been a owner op or know anything about business this is not the place for you. Also if you cannot drive more than 500 miles a day ever this is also not for you. In order to keep jct as one of the top companies for LEASEOPS/OWNEROPS we can't keep having other drivers bail you out just cuz you can't drive 11 hours at 65 mph which is 715 miles.
    I'm tired of those that complain when they don't get miles and when they do they complain that they are running him too hard. Can't have both ways.

    Yessire Bob!:biggrin_255:
    We have a yellow 2007 International Eagle, no apu. Randy did not get to do a complete inspection on it as it was in the shop so tomorrow he will get to go through it, but yup it is ours. Not what we had in mind, but we'll go with it to start... smaller payments, no side note so that's more money in our pockets.:biggrin_25525:

    Hey... we should be able to find our truck easily at the truck stops... Big Yeller... that his/her(?) name... should stand out... LOL. So any tips on running one these beast please let me know so I can pass it on. It has a Cat engine, we will be the 5th owner and it has 426,000 miles. Maybe someone knows who use to run it?

    The list today to choose from was:

    3 KW - 2 T-600, 1W-900 - 2007.
    3 PB - 3 379 - 2007.
    4 IH - 9900 - 2007.
    5 IH - ProStar - 2010.

    Rumor still has it that there will be more new ProStars coming.

    best advice would be given from :biggrin_25514:alan:biggrin_25514:... he has about 4 years with jct.... best advice i can give.... and alan told me this as well.... i get the best fuel mileage at about 63mph... i drive a t600 with the same cat as the others.... keep your foot out of it when you can and it will add up to big savings at the pump

    Thanks Excel...:)

    We are happy with the whole thing and excited to be here. Oh... I would LOVED to have been there today for all the fun, tomorrow night we get to load her up and possibly have a load out or Friday morning. Honestly... at first I thought..."Yellow"!? But then... when I thought of Big Yeller for a name it was A'OK. Randy is kewl with the name too, so we'll go with it and have fun! Hey, we use to fly kites and were known as The Desert Ducks... had a whole rubber ducky thing going back then.

    Anywho... looking forward to meetinh up with ya out on the road... just look for Big Yeller!

    I'll do photos tomorrow if there is still good light when he pulls in.
