Running with JCT, Part Deux

Well, my dm was going to get me a load from Colton, Ca. to somewhere in Maine, and I was thankful for that...but then he messaged me back that the planner gave it to someone else to get them home. So now I've already picked up in Brawley, Ca., am waiting to pick ip here in Yuma, Az., then will head for Austell, Ga. Y'all have a great day, and be safe.

 

This is what I have so far. I plan to add a front page that will be an overview of the individual weeks. I also haven't added the formulas for truck payment and maintenance escrow yet. The fixed payment will be filled in later also once I know all the fixed cost (i.e fixed truck payment, insurances, etc). I will lock the fields that have formulas in them once everything is filled in to prevent accidental changes on those. The end product will be so that I only have to fill in the white boxes and everything else will update automatically.

Fill free to check out the spreadsheet. Any questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome.

 

What spreadsheet is that that you are using?

 

Still a very nice run. I had the same thing happen to me when I was in FL the 1st time. Had a load going to ME as well but it was pulled as well. It is the only state I have never been to. LoL

 

I am using Excel. The word "spreadsheet" is a link to download the spreadsheet.

 

Oh ok I use MS Works spreadsheet myself.

 

They still have ms works? Wow that's a blast from the past! You need a upgrade sir.

Well here's the update for me. Finally got my new love out of the shop Tuesday which I named "The Enterprise" since the last 4 of my vin is 1701. Got a load of cheese out of the yard that scaled at 79,800. I never know cheese weighed so much. played hell trying to find the trailer then found shop had it so they could put on some new running shoes (lot of good that did). Well I got the trailer around noon (4 hours late) and it put me in a bind trying to make Elizabeth, NJ by 8 am Thursday. Leaving Sapulpa was brutal with the winds out of the north at 18 with gust to 24. The wind did let up later down the road but trying to hold 63 was out the window and fuel economy in file 19. Made it to exit 59 in Indiana and snagged the last spot at the Love's. Lucky me! The next morning, that stinking antiquated crap box blacked out and wouldn't give me my times so I could leave. I left there and made it to Allentown PA and parked at a Wawa which for me is a cardinal sin. Part of the reason I'm going to hell. Left there this morning and scurried 81 mile to be put into a holding pattern like I'm waiting to land at Newark international. I guess that's the price you pay for being 3.5 hours late. Well that threw my 2 pm to tomorrow at 7:30. So I'm camped out on the NJTP watching The Shawshank Redemption. At least I'm already pre planned backed to more realistic fuel prices. Saw 4.65 and my efs card card started smoldering. Who pays those prices anyway?

 

Well just got final approval from management, all set for orientation this Monday, March 3. Just want to thank everyone on the forum for all the good information. Thinking of heading to Sapulpa on Saturday because of the ice storm scheduled to hit on Sunday, maybe JCT will let me check in on Saturday instead of Sunday, if not no big deal just pay 1 night at the hotel. Just want to make sure make it on time and don't get struck on side of the road.

 

I will be there for orientation on Monday also. I will be there Saturday evening coming in the GreyHound.

 

Get with Christina and see. I'm sure that they would oblige you on that. Good luck to both of you and make sure you complete your modules and paperwork online.
