And, yes, that'll get you a few feet down the road. I think I could actually spell that when I started. Now, what really matters is if you can HANDLE IT. That's an entirely different matter and so much more complex. The revolving door of trucking is only a metaphor. It's actually, come right on in, the exit is immediately around the bend for most. So, I love this industry, I love the lifestyle, I hate the irritations, I hate the elogs, but the bottom line is, I'm still here. I'm not even bragging about that. Just stating it as a fact after 6 plus years. The retention rate in this business is rather low. And the ways that this business can end you fast are high..and I'm not talking about being stupid, just randomness can end you. So, here's to those of us that are still here and those of us who aren't taken out after 20 years of safe driving due to a mistake. That's the way it is and it ain't no other way.

If you don't have the experience, JCT will spot you for it on the grounds you reliably drop trailers at drop locations in a state of ill-repair. The more trailers you drop with flat tires/bald spots/leaking air lines/inop lights..the quicker you'll be recognized as a consummate professional.
And no, I'm not kiddingJarhed1964, scottied67, arrogant steve and 1 other person Thank this. -

I worked for JCT years ago when they had big hood Kw's and Peterbilts. Ran my ##* off. Running a lot of produce out of California to east coast, I got plenty of miles. The only thing i hated was delivering to Wally World D.C's all over the country. Have you heard if they still load out of Daisy Brand in Garland,Texas. Those loads are awesome, easy to unload yourself, and make a little extra pocket money. Took longer to have it checked in, than it did to unload the few pallets, and downstack
