    Yes, at least through January. I called them yesterday and confirmed that it was extended at least that long. The program was suppossed to end December 31 originally.

    Definitely better not to think about it sometimes.

    So does anyone here actually use an external fuel card for their truck? Do you just send in the receipts to JCT for IFTA calculations and payment? Looking at a fuel card network that gives you fuel at cost + 4 cents or marquee pricing if its lower. Discounts average about 30 cents a gallon off and its not just at hole in the wall places as they have a lot of TA/Petro stations in the network and its pretty expansive according to their map. Just looking at ways to increase my profit without killing myself.

    Also, Steel Tiger, hows the FlowBelow working for you? My DM is trying to get me out of my Cascadia and into a new KW and I'm just trying to think of ways to increase MPG and lower fuel costs because if the MPG is roughly the same as my current rig, but the costs for it as well as the insurance is higher, I'd just be losing money. But with my truck ticking over 300K and me not being in it a year yet, I'm not sure at what point I should turn down a new truck because I'm "too deep" in payments.

    I would think anytime after 1.5 years is too deep but that is on my money.

    I'm slated for orientation on 01/11. How does truck selection work, do they hand you a list of what's available and you point to what you want?

    What truck did you end up with? Its good they are flying you out there to Utah. You'd probably be contemplating suicide if you had to ride the grey dog out there, or maybe that's just me.

    Jct lets the first person done with the orientation vids choose first. You are shown what's available and you get to inspect the choose. The next done etc.

    So I swapped with a guy yesterday and he got a call today that the load I had has to go back to shipper because they loaded the wrong product.
