Running with JCT, Part Deux

Posttrip showed a half flat drive tire. Aired it up and went to bed. Wake up and it is totally flat busted the bead so no way to re-air it up. Get my trusty 22 year old 20 ton jack out and raise the axle a little, lower landing gear and drop suspension and was able to air it back to 100 psi and limp across the road to TA for check and advise on a possible nail or screw in tire.

 

Good luck! Hopefully something that can be plugged. Hate a morning like that.

 

True, a lot of times I had to crank it down. Exercise, exercise, exercise. LOL

 

Yep, just a screw in the tire, waiting to see if it is paid through Eshop. Sent macro30 with amount for efs/comcheck, waiting waiting.....

 

Remember, If repair is less than $150, it'll come out of settlement, not your escrow.

 

OH I didn't know that. So they did an efs auth this time so yeah I guess it will be like and advance, makes sense.

Had another tire replaced last week about $900 (not sure because receipt did not have a number on it) anyway, the used truck I lease has used tires, wondering if JCT will prorate the cost of the brand new tire they put on?

 

Any repairs under $150 on the road comes out of settlement. Anything less than $50 at Sapulpa comes out of settlement. If you are close to that amount, throw something else on there if you want it to come out of escrow.....oil, additives, wiper blades, etc.

 

That only happens if you're at the terminal (I think). Hope you got a Michelin cuz JCT gets them cheap thru national account. I got one on the road right b4 I got my new truck. It only cost me a little over $550 for a newe steer

 

Yes the new drive tire was a Mich xdn2 on the JCT account discount I assume.

That's a pretty fair price for your steer tire. I personally don't care for these one direction steers (little arrow on tire saying only mount one way) because sometimes being able to rotate them around helps make them last longer or in the case of my old job, I could move them to the drive or trailer as needed.

 

You can still rotate, but they would have to break them down and swap rims. On the other hand, Michelin has told me that you can have them roll they opposite way after 50k miles
