    :biggrin_2553:Well whatya know? Figured I would check to see if there was any pressure in the ac system. NONE. Of course the compressor wont come on. It went into failsafe due to lack of refrigerant and pag oil. Obviously leaked completely out somewhere.

    ETA: And the verdict is..... giant hole in the condenser. Tried to fill and a beautiful cloud of 134a sprayed out of the front. If I could find some old chewing gum......

    Good lord! Going to Whitewave foods? Entrance is across from burger king. Drop your trailer on the left, check in and your load might already be waiting. Two parking spots at burger king.

    I wouldnt mind running those if they were a dedicated kinda thing. Pass by the house every few days, would be kewl.

    Hit line 3 at 1400, i could hear the groan when I told them ETA 1000a. Only made it to Harrisonburg before my logbook started screaming and smoking.

    Tell me JCT dispatchers are atleast realistic.

    Its tax time after all, when JCT gives you the 1099 are all the expenses deducted already or is it gross revenue to the truck and you and your accountant have to figure it out? Also with the lease are you able to claim depreciation of the truck as a write off?

    Thanks for all the great answers guys! I submitted my application on Monday and after following up yesterday discovered my application is being reviewed etc. Said I would know more by Thurs at the latest.

    One last thing. Is it true that you get you first tank of fuel on the house? And that you don't make your first truck payment for a month? Or does that vary from truck to truck? Thanks again all.

    Nope trailer wasn't ready the genius who put my trailer in the door dropped it about a foot away from the door and they couldn't load it. So here I sit waiting on it to be loaded.

    Those yard dogs there are kinda "shortbus". I like the way they turn circles in the lot for gits and shiggles.

    I was hoping a JCT driver would answer, but none did, so I'll say what I know. All of Indiana is in JCT's hiring area according to the map on their website. Having read the entire part one thread, I don't see all that many loads that ran through Indiana. I say call recruitment and see what they say.

    My first load off the yard went right through Indy on I70 on the way to PA. I have only been here a couple weeks though.
