    Keep the info coming there LMB we are all digging it.
    Do they hire driver's from CA?
    Also if you can tell us some more of your runs picked up .....delivered to.... miles..... would be great.
    THANKS! in advance neighbor.:cya:

    Also do you know anything about how they run their solo driver's ?
    I know alot of people are all about running legal but sometime's some people like to cook the books for a few extra bucks if you get my drift.
    will they run you HARD....?

    Yes they hire from CA. Most of their loads are over there. Az too! As for logs, they are in a lot of trouble right now for logs. Checkout their dot record. They have really tightened up with their log books and will take absolutely no B.S. One downfall is they don't have company drivers anymore and in this current economic situation I don't recommend leasing a truck. They do run all the new drivers hard for the first few weeks to build up their maintenenance account then it drops off from there. As for teams I would not recommend, it is a smaller company and does no drop and hook. There was a lot of waiting to get loaded and unloaded.(wal-mart especially)

    Although your experience was not what you expected, you do not know what is going on with this company at this time. I am running all the miles I want to, and in no way having trouble with my log book. I really do want you to keep your input comming in on this, but since you are no longer employed here, you can't really comment on what is happening today. I agree that the economy is bad,but everyone I talk to here is running great. I am going to deliver Wednesday and that will give me 6K for the week in miles, and I have a load alredy waiting to go back to the east coast, another 2800 miles Starting for next week. If my wife and I can get 4 to 6 k a week we are happy. If you want to work to make money, anddo not have to be home every five days, then this is the place
     
    socal Thanks this.

    I am sitting here n ELOY for the nite. I have a load that is to be delv Wed, but my wife wants to get off the truck for the rest of the year (three weeks) so instead of going into CA they are going to let us swap with a load to NC(home). Then I will be on my own for a few weeks.

    So far we have,but this the slow time of the year, so I expect it to drop off. Right now I am going to finish out this load in Riverside, CA, then DH to Yuma for a load to VA. On the way I will drop off the wife at home, and spend the weeken there, deliver VA Tuesday. Pick up a load in Richmond for Fla, then back to CA. I would say that is pretty good miles

    I am Thinking of Joining JCT in March, I have talked to a few of the JCT drivers and they really seem Happy so i think i am going make the Switch, My question is how hard is it to get a Pete or W9. and any additional info would be helpful, like pet deposit can you put on additional lights or equipment, and what the fixed expenses are. thanks JJRanch.
