Running with JCT, Part Deux

I missed a good, spontaneous meet-and-greet this morning.

As I was putting my boots on this morning, I noticed a JCT truck about 6 spots away (no one in between). I headed towards the building to get some coffee and I had to walk right by the JCT truck. I noticed the cab curtains were closed. As I walked in front of the truck, I glanced up at the windshield and then I realized it was Steel Tiger himself.

I go on and get my coffee and head back to my truck. The curtains were still closed, so I didn't bother him. Punched the "On-Duty for Pre-Trip" button and started my log. 10 minutes later and I was pulling out. When I drove by his truck, I noticed the curtains were open and he was sitting in the seat. Dang, my clock is already started and if I stopped, I would be in other drivers way for a few minutes.

Not a big, news-shattering, earth-moving story, but I wanted to let folks know Steel is not a myth. He really does exist.

 

Steel, you probably saw me pass in front of you....but I don't drive a JCT truck. I'm lazy, I drag a dry van.

 

No sir. I was very interested in driving for JCT about this same time last year and followed the other thread almost exclusively. I discovered y'all go to the west coast way too much for my comfort. After that thread got shut down, I began reading other threads about other companies, but I continue to follow the JCT threads because there are some very good folks who posts in here.

Several months ago, I was on my home time and my wife and I were having lunch at a restaurant in a neighboring town and I saw Terry's truck pass through. My wife wondered what I was looking at and she saw his truck. I explained no one else gets a truck like that but there was a JCT Cascadia right behind him. She liked the equipment and began asking me a bunch of questions. She is in favor of me going to Sapulpa, I'm not too keen on getting out of my comfort zone.

I firmly believe JCT has a good program and I follow this thread for the tips y'all posts, as well as the camaraderie displayed in the JCT threads. Naysayers don't stay around long, but most anyone is welcome and I appreciate that. You don't find that very often.
