    Really? you can't PM anyone but yourself? that is odd! I am not sure why!
    I may want to stay away from you guys? I don't want that, I think Sharpp said the same thing? I'm not sure why!
    I would check to see what the Admins have to say about that?

    Yes, intact but not sure I was at the time. LOL. Had to get many from upstairs, go into sub divisions where trucks don't fit, downtown Miami at rush hour, no parking available. It is challenging everyday...

    Many if not most of our trucks now have apus so idling is not a big deal.

    This question is for any of the JCT drivers...

    Someone made a post a week or so ago talking about truck number L2xxK and said the truck was on it's eleventh owner. Does the letter at the end of the truck mean how many times the truck has been issued and re-issued or is it just coincidence that, in this case, "K" is 11?

    From what I remember,the higher the letter,the more people who have leased that unit.

    The letter designates how many times its been issued. I remember that post but I don't think he mentioned the make/model, I'm curious about that.

    Mine is simple, buy as much of the cheapest fuel (pump price) as possible. Use the Loves and other apps to see prices along the route. MAC 23 gets you prices on the unmagic box if you don't have a smart phone.

    Don't try to fuel per pay check, fuel for maximum cost savings over the long run.

    What we have to say about it is this, we want honest feedback on companies here, we want our members to get the most accurate information on a company that is possible, what we don't want and will not tolerate is folks talking up a company for financially incentive reasons.

    Now, I believe that Condo Cruiser has already made a warning regarding this issue, and it apparently fell on deaf ears, recruiting thru this or any other thread will result in an automatic no questions asked permanent ban of your account. If you want to contribute to the forum and stay within the rules we welcome that, if you have other motives behind it, then you know what to expect.

    California isn't bad at all. Yes, it's a bit slow, and fuel is high. But I rarely get stuck buying fuel there. Plan ahead! Most of the shippers have modern facilities. Parking can be an issue in L.A. just like back east, so network with your fellow JCT drivers. The best thing is that we have some bodacious runs out of there going to the east side.
