I personally think they should leave it alone. Getting a whole bunch of new people in messing things up worse is not good. Just from my 2years. It's getting better, but you will always have lazy dispatchers and planners who don't want to do their job. Just as you will have lazy drivers who don't want to do their job either.

It is a electric APU that I was talking about. Don't think their is a wrong way to mount batteries. But your not going to get one of them to last for a reset running the ac.

Since then i got accepted to go with stevens but i have not signed anything or commited. come monday i was suppose to call them and then they would issue me a greyhound ticket to go from philadelphia to dallas, texas.
Well wouldn't ya know that i just got a call today from another recruiter and now they are hiring recent grads. ( i also did 2 months of otr with my company). My present company said there was no driver positions open so they stuck me with a yard jockey position. I found out later that there was open positions but they just needed a jockey real bad and i was a newbie. Well i gave my 2 week notice a week ago and now that jbs is hiring i am thinking of going with them instead of stevens.
Stevens pays .26/mile while JBS will start me at .30/mile after the training. Both companies are refrigerated carriers. Same amount of miles it seems and same amount of frustration it seems lol. I guess all companies have the ups and downs. Give me some feed back please. yes i read all 605 pages of this thread along with the other thread that was ended. I did get a chance to talk to a few of the trainers and drivers out there from both companies and JBS did impress me more and you guys were not afraid to tell the truth.

RUN MAN RUN..... don't go to NEW ENGLAND ... theres plenty of GOOD companys

Amen to tht brother, on the lazy dispatchers and planners...Thats the main reason I bailed out, I gave them 90 days to work out my mileage issue and they continued to fall, hell I stayed out 8 weeks once and it still didn't get better,Loved the company at first then i peeled the rind off.....

1st Thread that was closed.My Adventure with JBS Carriers Greeley, Colorado

I think i will form my own opinion of JBS. I tend to make things work in my favor since i like to look at the positive and when it comes to negative i will try to remember it and see if there is a way to it work in my favor. The people that are so negative on here seem to be working for other companies now. I wonder why? Couldn't hack it when things did not go the way they wanted? There will always be ups and downs with any company. None are gods. In the meantime i will get there, get through all the training, documentation, and whatever is necessary to get me going so i can get rolling on my own.
