Running with JCT, Part Deux

Also if you need them I have the text messages from the QCOM I could forward you steel.

 

Need 30k dispatched miles before the end of the quarter. You do not have to complete the last load before end of quarter, must be dispatched. So, if you have 28000 miles on the last day of quarter and you get a load dispatched (load assignment sent to truck) on the last day before midnight and it's 2001 miles and it delivers 4 days into the new quarter, you qualify.

There are typically 13 weeks and a quarter. That comes to an average of 2307 miles per week. If you take 3 weeks time off, one week per month, you would need the average approximately 3000 miles per week to qualify. Being in the shop for 2 days should not affect your total miles for the quarter.

The quarters run from:
January 1st to March 31st.
April 1st to June 30th
July 1st to September 30th
October 1st to December 31st

 

Unless those two days were the last days of the quarter and you needed that last 2001 mile dispatch! Heh

 

I pm'd you

 

Oklahoma bound! see anyone in the yard on Monday. BTW how long does orientation take?

 

If small class probably leave out on Weds evening if you have no issues and the truck you pick is ready when you are. That is of course with a Mon start date anyway.

 

If you are ever bored while driving through West Memphis, AR...Just get on the cb and say you looking for that real deal with the good green.

 

Yeah good times. Last carrier I was with was based out of memphis. West Memphis police would spam the CB so much with that crap. Either they'd be trying to sell it, or looking for someone that has it.

 

Being the weekend, supervisors are limited. I spoke to Ron. His reply was basically this.....
Yes we run 80. Yes, they have been re-routing trucks from 80. They had one flip in the high winds the other day. Better safe than sorry.

I informed him that even asked for a reason, "Because the planner said so" isn't a proper reply. He agreed. Planner or DM should have said why to avoid the b.s. msgs back and forth.

No I did not show him the text nor given any names.

 

There was another truck that recently rolled over. They had just gotten the truck back to the yard a few days before I rolled into the yard. Not sure where it happened though.
