    Trucks have the same warranty as if you walked onto the dealers lot to buy. You can get to Sapulpa quick but its in your best interest to get the online orientation modules done before you show up.

    Be aware, JCT doesnt hold your hand. To be successful here you need to be self motivated.

    Is anyone else getting an unusual number of messages asking if you're ok for on time delivery?

    I send two mac1's a day plus two temp calls all saying im good for on time but still getting 1-2 messages asking. Got one this morning and I was literally in the driveway to the receiver. Shut down and sent my mac1 yesterday evening from less than a mile away.

    All the new trucks are white. The last year for diff colors was 2010 and most of those are gone. Ive only seen one cascadia in red. The rest have all been white.

    Ya, I hate those as well. In fact, I got a phone call on mine! I was told that I was projecting 25 minutes late for a 10 am appointment when it was only 9:14 am and was 20 minutes away. It's like they don't have anything else better to do then harass the living daylights out of you via that annoying antiquated wheel chock next to your seat. I'm all in favor for that QC to work like email! 90% of the of the crap that hit that thing will be in the spam or trash box upon arrival.

    I will say this, I actually got home this time without playing the metroplex trailer jog game this time! Whoo hoo!!!

    I got a really bizarre message tuesday asking if I had picked up my second stop first. I had done the first stop and called in pulp temp/piece/pallet count before heading to my second stop. Sent departing mac for first stop and arrival mac for second stop. WTF is the point of sending macs if they ignore them or in the case of at least one person in that office dont know how to read them.

    They stopped sending me those because I ignore them. I send my mac1 like I am suppose to. I am not answering an email they have the answer too.

    Mac 1? I think I've done 5 all year. LOL

    I usually ignore those "OK for delivery" messages unless it's tight.

    I've had 2 messages from my DM all week. One was to say that he didn't miss me one bit while I was on vacation, but did miss my wife. The other was to tell me he vetoed my next home-time request. It was all in good humour of course
