Running with JCT

Thanks, Drew352, I trained on a Home Depot acct and ran all over FL, it does get crazy sometimes, especially now that it's snowbird season!

 

I'm not a big fan of the PACCAR engine. I had one on a lease as a tester for the LTL outfit I'm at, a new 2013 Pete daycab. Great riding truck but under the hood it was a wiring nightmare.

In less than 15k the DPF w DEF was so clogged it couldn't regen and had to be completely replaced. The computers were updated every few weeks and always had to be tweeked. One of the idler pulleys broke and they had to pull the front end off to change it. That aside it was a good riding and looking truck.

 

No recruiters were online so I sent JCT and email asking them about medical insurance. That's really the last thing really big thing I need to get sorted.

 

I would be interested in what they say... As L/O for another company, they don't have any available for us.

 

As a separate business owner you are going to have to provide your own medical insurance, you will be expected to do all of your own finances and whatever else a real business owner does, I think they file your IFTA which is a good thing, But I guess they would be as responsible as you would be if it was messed up. This is a business affiliation, You are separate from JCT you are their sole co tractor source (X 850) that hauls their loads with the truck you are buying and their trailer.

 

Ur better off signing up for Obama Care. Will be cheaper than getting an actual policy , as rates have went thru roof cause Obama Care is going into affect

 

Been there 1 to many times. Drop ur trl bobtail to 1 of the sheet hole gas stations and sleep.8-12 hrs later load is rdy. Dead give away to be JBS, out of Greeley,co. Thank god I dnt go there anymore.

 

As long as its Obamacare compliant it still keeps the door open. I priced private coverage in '08 when I did local hot shot contractor work before the '08 crash and they wanted 11-1200/mo for medical and dental. It was pretty good coverage, don't remember the details, but I'd hate to see what that'd cost now...
