Running with JCT, Part Deux

Before I left, I got JCT to instill a pay schedule for getting their equipment road ready and DOT legal. There was a printed sheet outlining the times and pay. Did they do away with that?

A simple fix is to refuse to budge that trailer, even off the customer's property. If everyone would stand their ground and force JCT to uphold the terms of the contract, maybe drivers wouldn't be left holding the bag. Read the contract carefully... it states that they can reserve the right to charge a driver the FULL COST of getting repairs done to JCT equipment if thru fail to report it....... but your insightful, intellectual, all knowing Driver Manager Supervisor said, "we don't want to run those drivers off." That's an exact quote.

I fought for 8 years on this very topic and got compensated for each and every repair. Fight for what's yours. The minute you let anyone get one over on you, it's hard to start getting what's due to you.

 

I have NEVER seen a sheet like that here.

 

Also my driver manager argued that same thing...being afraid to run off ####ty drivers only runs off the quality ones.

 

It's out there. I'd have to look to see if I still have a copy. Josh Muskrat is the one that put it together and the one that pays out the compensation. At least when I left

 

Who's your DM?

 

Jennifer now. I think I had Jared at the time of the WB thing, before he replaced the NW planner. He thought it was BS too.

 

I had Jen.... she always fought for me with Josh to get me my money

 

Yeah I'm going to have her swing on this one. I just keep getting burned that I'm not optimistic anymore.

 

The BS about having to fight for compensation for wasting my time through no fault of my own got old. As I stated earlier today, their compensation package is extremely lacking. The main reason I left. Y'all know how much time I used to take off when I was at JCT. Now I take off on average 15 days/ month and double the pay, even triple sometimes. Chasing miles for pay is in the rear view mirror

 

Too bad I'm not hireable there for 7 years.
