JCT

DM says freight east of Mississippi is real slow right now. I know JCT sent out a message about helping to get people home for the holidays and I'm all for the practice , but afterwards it's all about me, yep I'm greedy and selfish. I want a load to at least AZ from here delivering tomorrow. Yep I'm in Super Trucker mode after 12 hours sleep.

 

I get the feeling that freight is slow all the way around. I've been sitting more than I'm used to for the last couple of weeks. I'm actually starting to get a touch nervous about money. I don't do well when I sit much at all. I get bored and start finding things to disassemble.

 

December thru Febuary are the slower months per the paperwork given at orientation. And yes it did say this was a good time to take your vacations, still... if they have 800 drivers wanting Christmas and new years off... that could be a problem don't you think? So if they had issues with the holidays I think they would consider do it differently next year. Let's face it most of us would want to take the holidays off, so there has to be some system in place to control that.

 

Hmmm... hard to say, though he would defer to me if I was doing banking, etc. online, so probably me!

 

That's what I am saying, I'm agreeing with ya ole goat... no complaining or sitting here... we haven't stopped rollin' except for 2 blizzards. Life's too short to sit and complain... lol! JCT has been around for a while I believe they know what their doing. Enjoy your vacation!

 

Yes... I can tell you're antsy! It's brisk here in Houston... I don't remember it ever getting this cool! Well... we dropped nd picked up the next load... heading back to CA, Sacramento... in the morning... needing shuteye big time!Nite Johnboy!
