    Sorry to keep barging your thread. I found it because of Scottie’s videos, and for awhile I was talking with recruiting about driving for JCT. The lawsuit will have to resolve itself before I think about it anymore.

    Anyway...

    I’m at the TA in Buttonwillow, Ca, and did you know if you wake up early and go for a run and then after about 1/2 a mile realize that nature is calling so you pop into the Motel 6 lobby to beg for a bathroom the first thing they will tell you is “breakfast is ready”. Weeeelllll my eggs were delicious and the orange juice and coffee were a nice addition. I will say the waffles I made myself were a bit under cooked...but anyway... didn’t feel bad at all LOL.

    Bathroom was clean and trucker free as well. Hahaha

    This isn't anyone's thread. It's a public thread on an open forum...... everyone is welcome and allowed to post.

    This is a great source to find out about JCT, positive or negative. My 2 cents worth, JCT is a good company, but does have its shortcomings, the largest one being compensation structure and how to achieve a settlement that is 4 digits each week. On the plus side, they are staffed with great people in all departments, including top tier management.

    JCT puts driver facing cameras in lease trucks. I wouldn't recommend anybody come to this company.

    Last trailer...2 tires.

    New trailer...3 tires..

    I'd really hate to see the JCT Tire budget.... I mean this trailer also has two almost brand new tires on it that already have messed up wear patterns in it. I've never hauled trailers that eat tires like theirs...it's a 2017 trailer too, not like it's an old POS.

    5 hours in and just now sending pictures to JCT apparently. So I'll get a sweet what, 2 hour 10 hour break?

    #### it, I'll have to buy a parking spot now anyways I may as well take the full 10-hour break after the truck comes out of the shop and if the loads late they can charge it to the previous driver.

    8 hours and counting of shop time in the last 3 days for trailer tires for trailers I picked up and 0 compensation.

    I'm done with this ####.

    Last time I tried I was told "you don't get paid to baby sit trailers"

    After taking a freshly picked up trailer from Noel Mo Tyson to W&B Tulsa.
