    Sounds good Sharpp. I like long runs. Thats one of the good things about JCT. I had a friend who worked there a few years back. Paid his truck off in 4 years. He used to tell me about the miles.
     
    Sharpp Thanks this.

    Yes, JCT assigns letters to trucks based on the number of previous drivers. I can almost guarantee that any truck with a "K" letter will be a Prostar.

    The letter does in deed indicate how many times the truck has been leased. No letter indicates that the driver is the first lessee of that truck. The letter A means he's the second, the letter B means he's the third and so on and so forth.

    From the Worthless Factoid folder: I counted TEN, yes 10, JCT trucks on my trip from Boise, Idaho, to Sparks, Nevada today.

    I thought they were all here at the Albuquerque Flying J! It looks like our drop yard here.

    Well I had an absolutely miserable fuel run yesterday. 5.5 mpg on 620 miles. That whistle I believed to be the wind I now think was the sound of my motor sucking up my diesel lol. Today was much better. 658 miles at 7.1 from San Jon NM to Kingman Az. Hope everybody is staying safe with all the weather out there!

    Well traveling from Canton Ms. to Middleton Tn. I saw 2 JCT trucks. Been seeing them in my parts of the world lately. Does Tyson have a plant around Canton MS. thought I saw a chicken plant today as I was in that area.
