Running with JCT, Part Deux

Well Put ; Couldn't have said it better !

 

I've been here 8 years as of last month. I wont see 9. Im getting hazmat back on my license and moving on to landstar myself. 19 years driving experience and not so much as a speeding ticket. Plus all these new QC messages and being asked daily how i look for OTD makes me feel like in neither trusted nor smart enough to know if i can make it. All these years here and I've never been late. I always communicate days in advance if i forsee a problem. I'm the guy who leaves hours early in case i have a blowout. But anymore i feel I'm being micro managed into the ground. My feelings are, leave me alone and let me do my job.

 

Yeah, I mispoke about that QC concerning JCT's CSA score. It was a message to our truck in response to a macro one I sent about my frustration on the condition of drop trailers.
The message, whom I won't say who sent, explained about the issues we are experiencing with trailers, otd and other random things. I was told that as a result of the higher CSA score, we are getting red lighted at weigh stations more often. We've been pulled into weigh stations more often here lately.
I recently called in a verbal on a weekend and got a dm I'm famaliar with and was told an almost unbelievable story. He explained to me about this "new" team who refused to move until they were told where they could stop and shower and eat! They were in Ohio on 80 and said they would not stop at a "travel oasis" because of no shower. What is anyone in Sapulpa supposed to do with that!
This is what Salpula, and us, are currently dealing with.
I should clarify, concerning my recent post, that Wifey and I are happy with the money we've been earning. From day one, we've done well here.

 

Good luck to you Nilao! Will probably be following you very shortly!

 

Blue Beacon should take the word express out of Washout Express. There's nothing express about it any more when you still wait an hour or more (with only 4 trucks ahead of you) in the washout only lane.

 

Anybody catch the fuel surcharge today?

 

I've never really taken this route before...

Anyone got a good route suggestion from El Paso to Temple Texas?

trying to flip a coin between going to Big Spring and then down the US Highway through San Angelo or going all the way down to Junction and then using the state highways.


The only thing about Junction is they just got 12 inches of rain... I saw on the news that an RV park down there on the river got completely wiped away...

 

35 cents.

 

Well HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

 

Ok wow....didn't expect that...

If I take my normal holiday time off and drive average daily miles the rest of the time that's an extra 1,462 dollars.
