Running with JCT, Part Deux

When I was at sapupla las week in the shop for my QC I heard 5 drivers call in about the carrier apus seems they are not doing well

 

I guess i got lucky with my pete cuz i never had problems with it

 

Loving it. Was a bit apprehensive about the auto transmission, but man, it's a godsend.
Fuel economy isn't where I'd like it right now but I've only got 19000 miles on it

 

I feel for all you guys having issues with the Comfort Pro in the middle of summer. Hope it performs better during the cold months

 

What's the story on the new trucks? Do they have a stockpile of them at the yard or are they going out as fast as they come in? Or is it some kind of seniority thing to get one? I'm at 60 days just wondering if getting me into a new truck can be accelerated.

Just put the 3rd new tire on this morning.

 

Drivers in 2014s hey priority as they are getting rid of those.

 

You're right I forgot about that. They did say that in orientation. I do have a 2014.

 

Got me a pillow top today, hope the fumes don't kill me.

 

Get swapped by a training team in OKC from Sapulpa...with no empty. Load message states to grab empty from okc yard...

Tell.myself last night "bet there's no empties". 14 ran out as I was swapping, so had to sit tight.

Lo and behold... No empties...

Whyyyyyyy wouldent they send an empty from the terminal if they knew I was just going to head to Arkansas....

 

Spent time down at Haines City Florida, there is a washout place down the road from the Pilot. Anyway, saw about 7 or 8 or so JCT trailers sitting down there, a couple of them running. Is that one of our drop yards or something?
