Running with JCT

Yeah.... I'm firing them. Have to admit, I've averaged over 3k/week on e-logs (more than the average driver from this MONSTROSITY of a company), and my personal best was 3924 miles a couple weeks ago. I have the best DM on the planet. I may just kidnap her and take her with me to wherever I end up. She knows how I like to run, and will NOT squander a productive truck.

I figure if I can do 3100+ miles every week in a 63mph International Pornstar POS with a Maxxipad engine, I can smoke the road up at JCT. But.... I got an 11 year old that really needs me around more. That's why I'm sniffing up SNL regional. If they can't get me the income I want, I'm coming to JCT. I figure if I gotta be OTR, I might as well earn some money.

 

I'd by-pass the SNL taboggle and go straight to JCT! Just my 2 Cents, I'm not there yet but taking the shortest route I have to to get there!

 

The bottom line on the freightliner fridge was 692 plus 2 hours labor. I know that is a lot but it looks so good in there and I think it holds a lot of items for the size. Mine gets really cold and the little freezer part actually works pretty good.
Hope that helps.

 

Glad to hear from you Sir, I have wondered how things at JCT has been for ya? I am curious as I may be jumping over there soon! Tell us the gory details the good bad and the Ugly! Thanks.

Happy New Year All of you JCT-ers! I hope this year is better then last for you and for me!, and PLEASE Be safe out there! Thanks.

 

Well I'm back out on the road. Loaded in Auburndale today, had to go back to get it reworked to be California bridge legal. Now I'm parked for the night in Lee,Fl. Last night cooled down to 70 tonight I have a wind chill advisory lol

 

Yeah, I would bypass SNL if I didn't want to at least attempt to be home with my demon-seed more. Trying to have a life and so on. I came from Corporate Hades at the exec level. Haven't managed to make it back to that level since 2007, plus I'm now staring down the barrel at 50 years old. Nobody wants an old know-it-all has-been former mid level exec. I'm too expensive, and don't have a politically correct or "sensitive" bone in my body. I'm a relic. So, I have to do whatever possible to be able to spend time with "Mini-Me". But... like I said, if I can't manage to get something to keep me around the house, I'm back OTR while studying for the Network+ and Security+ exams.

 

I understand your situation completely. I come from the computer field and while I don't have any children as of yet, the wife is already making her displeasure known about raising any future kids alone. Best of luck in your search and if you don't find what you want, you know where we will be lol.

 

How many former computer guys are out here? I was a programmer until I enlisted.

And I too can attest to the Ohio turnpike stupidity. Had one truck almost lose it in front of me then he got scared and #### near stopped in the middle of the road. YRC goes blasting by with extreme enthusiasm and almost loses his wiggle wagons.

Found me spot and woke up to ice on the inside...

 

Kinda quiet down in southwest florida ?
