Running with JCT

Just a reminder to everyone who reads all of our posts...You may not always hear (read) what you want, but you will get the truth, as best we can give it. Truck on!

 

Or Off If that is the way they want to go!!

 

Smells like Prime. If that's the case, don't put faith in what most of their lease ops tell you. They use a convoluted settlement to confuse people. Most of those guys think they are making more than they are because of the "inflated" income on there. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt and the hat. lol

My apologies! I misread what you were saying. Thank You. I have erased my post and will read a little more then just posting to a post without reading the referenced Post. My post are never to argue about anything here, I feel that Prime is not in it to move freight but to take advantage if drivers who think they will own a truck when the lease does not do that at all, This one does exactly that, There are several that have paid off their trucks and either moved on or are still driving them. Thank You Again.

 

LUVTOTRUCK,

I have read this entire thread from the beginning. My comment was not that JCT is anything like Prime. My comment was to what Kevin Horn had said, which I quoted in my comment, about another company he is vetting where some of their drivers are claiming $2/mile. There is nothing anywhere that I have found that makes me think JCT is even remotely similar to Prime.

 

Dadto3 Please see my revised post up there^^^ Thanks.

 

No problem. One thing I'll put here as a warning for anyone who maybe "shopping" here for info between JCT and Prime is that at JCT you are buying the truck. At Prime, you are only leasing/renting the truck. Unless you put money down at Prime and go through the purchase program, which hardly anyone ever does, you will turn that truck in at the end of the lease and walk away or rent another one. I was amazed at how many people there think that by leasing the truck, they will be handed the title at the end.

 

What a frustrating 24 hours. APU started coughing so being close to due for a pm I went ahead and had it done. I think it's the fuel pump because that didn't help. Then I realized I had lost my key ri with my pad lock key on it. $21.15 to have the lock cut off.after the free meal ticket and shower I came out even on the labor but will need to replace the pricey lock. Now I'm leaving Kingman headed to Stockton Ca then headed back to Sapulpa to get ready for the Joplin truck show.

 

Are you serious that folks think they are getting the truck at the end of a lease? Prime just turns those POS trucks into Company driver trucks so they can convince the Co. driver to go with a lease! Thanks. For explaining that.

Oh Man, I hate days like this, I wish you well, When is the Joplin Show? and I know this is a personal question but what do you get paid to go to these shows? I assume you stay in a Hotel when you are there, Since the truck is in the show, That must be a cool deal, I know this, that rig is a good looking truck! Take care I hope things get better for you! Keep in touch.

 

Where did you guys land? Sharpp should be in here shortly to let us know how his MPG is going! I look forward to all of your post! Thanks For all you do!.
