Running with JCT, Part Deux

There you go! Thanks Macho. Now I have a lead to track down. My card IS registered, but I have had it for a LONG time. Long before JCT. I'll try getting a new one and registering THAT one and see. 'Preciate it Compadre.

 

When I was at Werner we got like a 1.75:1 point bonus for a while. Their system does know what company you are fueling as when you swipe your fuel card.

We also got double points at my current company for a while just for us.

 

Well go figure everyone shows up to the yard when I leave. LMAO Steele showed up just as I was hooking up to trailer so I could leave. But still walked over to say hi before leaving out.

 

Here are some answers to questions that have been asked. Figured since I was here at the yard I would poke around an ask questions.

5x the points at P/FJ--I talked to Shannon Crowely about that. He was not sure about it and going to ask D. Christner about it. He said it was talked about, but does not know if it changing or not. And that he will call me and let me know what the answer is. Cheryl in Retention sent Shannon an email about it also while I was talking to him. So, there might be a QC message about it.

Using your own fuel card/insurance--- I talked to Laura Watkins. If you run your own authority to pull JCT freight, then you can use whatever fuel card and insurance you want. If you are using JCT authority (L/P or LO) then you use JCT fuel card and insurance. You cannot get your own.

JCT is also in talks about a possible base rate increase. Does not mean it will happen. It just means that they are throwing the idea around. I am sure there are a lot of factors they have to consider.

Laura does report quarterly to Transunion for on time truck payments. This is only done on the new trucks (14, 15, and now 16). She does not do it for people just coming in that get a 12 or 13. This is done to protect your credit as opening and closing accounts with little history and high balance can hurt your credit. She will do it on those trucks at drivers request if they know they will pay off that truck, but most drivers coming in aren't going to payoff those trucks as they are just holding for a new truck.

If you payoff your truck; JCT will help you sell it if you wish. That is up to the driver. Don't know any details on that. Depending on needs, they might even make an offer to buy the truck from you. But that is if they need trucks to trade in.

That is what I was told today and hopes that helps.

 

Good information, MC. I love how JCT drivers share; that is not a common experience on other companies forums.

 

Well since I had a little extra time here in Greenville decided to go ahead and move my switches around. Was a lot easier than I thought they would be to move. Though my middle finger might disagree one switch bit me as I was try to coax it from the block. LoL




And some how it will not let the photos be shown the right way sorry for the crooked neck all. LoL

 

Oh and just in case there is a few that haven't been to the yard lately here is something that is now in the yard. Well about 14 of them any ways. LoL
