    Hello everyone. Kinda new to the trucking industry. At 6 months with crash &roll stunt team ie. CRST. Getting ready to jump ship and have been approved for JCT. And seriously thinking about going. What would you guys suggest. Thinks that will make me more cash and make the transition better. I see your spreadsheet and think that is a awesome ideal. What is this modules that you were talking about for orientation with JCT? And and advice you could give would be very appreciated. My co driver and I probably will be there in the next month.
    Just a few of the many questions. What should I expect the avg. Check to be after all truck expenses? I have talked to a few of the drivers and just don't see how they are making so much at .90 cents a mile?
    We drive a lot between Co driver and me we been popping the 7000 miles a week and the check with crst just isn't cutting it.

    Help please hehe

    Modules are just little videos to watch. Some of them are pretty long. Some of them have a little quiz. Often times they will call you around to do some quick little interview or something, or you want to go take a quick break, they say pause or log off your module. Don't do it lol, let it keep playing because when you come back you'd have to start from the beginning again. I tried to open all 20 modules at once and have them play all at once in different tabs, that didn't work then I tried different windows that didn't work either. But what did work is I only had a few more to watch to finish so was able to log on at the hotel and finish them the first night.

    If you watch your fuel you could average 7k miles a week so take home about 2800 I would guess. I'm a solo driver I bring home about 1200 a week. Well that's what Jct deposits then my wife takes that and I get 100 or so lol. I know teams run way harder then me.

    Watch your fuel and you can net about 1200 a week as a solo.

    Also, the videos only work on Internet explorer. It is best to try and get them done before you get to orientation.

    This is awesome. The WalMart DC in Monroe, GA has overnight truck parking. Only before delivery, but it's better than nothing and cheaper than paying $10 for parking at the truck stop across the street.
     
    Top off Thanks this.

    Anyone ever pick up at Scientific Games in Alpharetta, GA. Load is going to West Sacramento, Ca. Any idea on who the consignee is?

    No clue, but most likely a dry load. I know for sure it's a live load. Pre plan stated live load in the notes.

    Looks like the back is going to be a pain when I found it on Google Maps. But, that's cool with me, I like the challenge.
