JBS Carriers Greeley Colorado

I'm leaving tomorrow morning to go out for orientation with jbs.. I've seen a few posts that's its hard for women to pass the ergo test... I guess ill see what happens. ... kinda worried now.

 

We have women who work here, and they are not the body building type. I think you have to lift 90 lbs. We haul meat, and sometimes you might have to help unload a few cases. So they are making sure u won't hurt yourself and then file a work mans comp claim. I have only had to unload or use a pallet jack a couple times in the 2 years I been here.

 

I drive one of the Pete's with the electric APU for FRE. They can last two nights if you use them only when you lay down to sleep and keep it turn off while you are awake. It can suck but you can find ways to make it work. If I am going to set I will send a MSG to my DM that I am not in my truck and if a load comes in to call. I also will run my truck for 10 mins tapping the clutch after 5 mins with the ac at full blast to get the cab cooled off. That way the APU doesn't have to work hard to get the cab cooled off. They also have a plug in on the driver side. Get a ext cord and you can plug in your truck. Runs the ac and charges the batts. On e you figure out who to work them they are not that bad. As far adhering rushed, not sure what that's about. In the past 40k miles I haven't been rushed once.

 

The guy was speaking of being rushed to pick up a load. Then sitting in Lap Porte/Houston for 2 days with an electric APU. So in his case. He would need his ac all day,because of the humidity in Houston. He said something about them calling him telling him the load was ready and needed to be picked up and he was like it doesn't even need to be down there till Tuesday and its only 700 something miles away. Think his truck number is 410 not sure a younger guy. He said he worked for Western Distribution b4 them, but got better miles at Western. Maybe you know who I'm talking about I don't know. I'm just going by what he said.

I know when I worked for a smaller company. I think the plant's would cry about loads sitting on their yard and not being picked up. So I think this was the case not sure. Think he was just saying it because of the fact with his electric apu. To run down to hot texas and sit is a little crazy.

Grand Island use to be the JBS playground now its the FRE playground everywhere I looked there was an FRE truck. They are taking over lol.

Just in case that was his truck number he wasn't complaining the company sucked. Just the APU sucked when you got to sit in high humidity with a truck that cuts off every 5 mins. Can't recharge the APU. But he did figure out how to make it work. So might want to see how he rigged it up. Just in case you get caught in that situation. Was the first pete I seen. Seen a fre cascadia the other day.

 

You don't know what your talking about trks don't have apu's they only go 65 and they pay up to 0.40. the person I was talking to is a newbie. Maybe they'll only pay you 0.29 but thats not what they pay. Trks are band new just came in this year. They are set up with fridge and sirus radio and they'll run your butt off.

 

will they hire u out of greeley n how about a number

 

wait till you get around page 370 more drama then general hospital
