JCT

Well so far so good in Carnesville GA tonight . Really liking the company and the truck. Had problems with the reefer this morning went and got it fixed puzzled me never seen this problem before my temp setting would only show odd numbers, thought maybe I did something wrong called a buddy of mine thats been doing reefers for about 20 years and he was puzzled . anyway to make a long story short it had a bad sensor after about 2.5 hrs i was rolling.

 

Saw a shot of it on the evening news. It is GONE! Hope no one got hurt!

 

According to another Love's manager South of OK City everyone made it into the cooler or restroom areas and no major injuries were reported.

 

ok so whats all the hype?? after reading through the link bad company posted i dont understand why everyone has their panties in a bunch.
Seems to me if your doing your job properly you should have no trouble with the new rules,dont misundserstand me I dont agree with the feds are trying to turn the industry into their personal cash cow.
If I remember correctly the same hype took place with start of the CDL and then with the new hours of service and somehow we all servived that!!

 

If you understood the business model here and the way we're dispatched here then you would understand.

 

Hey thats not funny I mean I 40 in TN and AR sits near the New Madrid fault home to one of the biggest earthquakes ever.You know the one in the 1800's that made the Mississippi River flow backwards for 3 days and formed Reelfoot Lake and changed the path of the river.You can see the old path and where the river now flows at a Civil War battle sight called Fort Pillow on US 51, 61 miles north of Millington,TN.Speaking of Millington,TN it is the town I graduated High School in and you wouldn't know it by the news coverage but much of it was flooded recently.Lots of my friends lost everything. However you don't hear any whiners and complainers outta there and they sure as hell aren't waiting on the Feds to come bail em out.I can't wait to get home in a couple weeks and help as many as I can.

Oh and I am stuck in Wyoming on some mountain just before Laramie from a snowstorm but hey, at least I got the interweb.

 

yes you are correct

but this will affect everybody from the driver to the dispatchers to the shippers/receivers in some way or another...

the drivers that keep their nose clean will be fine

 

LMFAO

 

Olde Goat, my husband and I have never actually thanked you this thread. We made the decision to come to JCT based on your blog. We are as happy as two pigs in (*^%! We didn't lease a truck, but everything has been absolutely wonderful. SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
