    Yes Tyson left JBS. Kind of not thou as I have pulled two load from JBS meat plant..lol.

    18kyle they bennies are good. Bad thing is you have to wait 6 months for them. But I pay about $30.00 less a month. As for the truck. Freightliner cornoado 2012 Detroit 60's 10 speeds. With APU, fridge and cb built in and yes red. Set speed at 65. All in all they are a new company. 4 years old but first year owning there own trucks. Pay real miles and not short so there is a good plus. So far it is like the small mom and pop feeling but I am sure there is going to be some growing pains.

    If any of you two want the contact of the guy to talk to pm me ill be happy to share. That way you can make sure you are in there routes to hire on.

    I see a brand new Coronado from Furniture Row express parked near my house in CO Springs each and every weekend, so they must be good about hometime.

    Well on my 2nd load right now. So far so good. Still get the same hold ups at shippers and receivers so nothing new there. Other then that dispatch works well with you. They don't bother you by sending MSG all the time. If you are moving and not behind they will leave you alone. Truck runs good. Not getting the fuel mileage I was thinking but it is new and still getting broke in so I think it will get better the more it is used. Other then that nothing to realy say at the moment.

    The coronados are nice,especially with a full gauge pkg and rosewood interior,tyson left jbs? I thought he was ba ba ba baaa luvin it like mc"ds! I'm lookin some-dont want to jump from 1 shat pile into another. Was lookin into hauling frac sand in the oil field but a bunch of companies are gettin in on the $,so the rates and detention pay has fallen-from what I've been told by current frac sanders.

    Don't know if Tyson left jbs. I have notice that most of the jbs cheerleaders are leaving. I feel ya on the jumping ship thing. I didnt want to either but then I wanted to be happy too. I was looking into the oil field stuff also but that work isn't for me. I know what i can do so I thought best to stick with that.

    Hey Dt, thanks for posting. I see these guys ads around and was checking them out. I agree with 18KB about Tyson. Lot of people runnin'. Me? I got my year in and am looking. Not so unhappy like some guys but money could be better. Would like local but all I find is food service like MBM/USFoods/SYSCO. Man I don't think my knees could handle running up and down a ramp all day. Take care and good luck.

    Not a problem milehibud. Thank you also always try to take care. As for posting I couldn't find much on this company so I thought I would share. So far so good. Still feeling them out and I am sure they are still feeling me out. Still not much more I know about the company that I havent already posted. I don't like the 2 weeks behind on paychecks but as long as they pay I'll wait...lol. You take care also milehibud weather you stay with jbs or not.

    If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. I'll do my best to give you a answer. It will be a honest answer at that. I am not looking to recruit here so if it is a bad or good part of this company I'll tell you straight up.
