Running with JCT, Part Deux

There is a new Loves being built in Eads, Co on US287.

 

Hey Steel Tiger, I happened upon your post another thread, (flow below). I couldn't agree anymore about tire upkeep. Barring any unforseen catastrophies, a driver shouldn't ever have blowout with a truck tire. I've talked to three jct drivers in the past month that recently had drive tire blowouts. One had three in last 6 months. That same driver was also bragging about getting 160,000 miles on 1 drive tire. I chose not to counsel him on tires as it would've been a waste of time. With tires being so costly, I just don't understand why people don't maintain them better. Trailer tires of course are adifferent story as we pull so many different trailers.

 

Two of my drives are the original tires that came on the truck. 310,000 miles on them and still plenty of tread left on them. The other two are fairly new because one them picked up a broken tire chain link in the sidewall last winter.

My steers have about 120,000 miles on them with plenty of life in them still.

 

Argh....197 miles to the house and 2 hours 54 minutes. Got about 20 miles of US 27 for the final leg, plus 2 weigh stations and an ag station.

Hammer down time. Glad I'm grandfathered in on max speed

 

Does preferred freezer in Wilmington, CA have parking?

 

If this is the place; don't look like it. Has pretty good reviews on Google though for fast unload.

 

I looked at that too

 

Nope at least I could not find any when I pu there

 

God... jbs in cactus. 9 hours after drop dead. Leisurely two stop load just turned into a truck load of stress.

 

Why stress? If they are 9 hours late then not your problem. Run like normal just send in late macro and be done.
