    Hey daytona u live in Palm Coast. I live in Ormond Beach. Had hard time getting loads home. Not much going into Fla. First 3 weeks Iwas loving it, 3000 mpw, then after Xmas 2000 mpw. I really liked the idea of l/p and the people were great, but Tyson could care less how long you sat and waited.

    Hey Alan is he doing it wrong also. Who said poor time mgnt? Sorry dude but you musta picked up one of their older trucks? I don't think they do a thing to fix them b4 they put up for lease. What kinda troubles are you having with this truck? What kinda truck did you get? Have your miles been down because of breakdowns?

    Like Alan say my avg 2000-3000 miles a week, up to how fast you can drop and hook, been with the company 2 months and I only live load 3 times, beside with the problem of trk break down I been have problem with, I got no complain.

    With elog time mgnt is the key, plan your trip out, required a little thinking on your part, and yes I have do p/u in Noel, MO. They are not bad the road are small but you can do it :biggrin_255: last time I was there it is a drop and hook, you just have to call and see if the load is ready before go on in if you dont want to sit.

    Just my 2 cents. :biggrin_255:

    Well, it is a 2010 Int ProStar, got 446k when I got it, want to get another one but the dude say I have to wait 90 days. I told them the truck have issuse with regent when I first got it but they just do the manual regent the sent me on my way. First few day I got the chk eng light on then shut down the drive able again, when I got to OK ask the shop to chk, take them 4 hrs to tell me I have to put it in the dealer, that cost 1500, then 1 week later I was broke down again in between Council Bluf and Omaha, have to be tolled also it a weekend, all that and the bill for repair is $310.

    I have no problem with the company and the way they do thing, make money or not is up to us individual, the thing we used to say in the Army is "work smarter not harder", all you have to do is do a little thinking and we can get through the problem.

    The issued I have is with shop, I'm not sure they do what they say they do, I'm sure mgnt peoples is know what they doing, but them little guy that work for them are they know what they doing and do what they say they did? That is the big question, also they got a tendency to think you never done this before and too dumb, well that is another story.

    On a truck this new,where is the WARRANTY? I'm betting JCT gets this done for FREE and charges the L/P drivers. I'd be ASKING,you think?

    Warranty goes by the mileage too, and international don't have a very good warranty program anyways
