    JBS Carriers, Now a private fleet for JBS Meats
    With one year your daily Salary will be $240 a day M-F and $265 as day for Sat and Sun. $2500 sign on bonus paid rather quickly. Avg $50 a week Fuel/Safety bonus ( paid monthly ( 3rd pay check of Month ) They Stress ON TIME DELIVERY..Not miles.
    So if you want to run 7 days... You'd be looking at $1730 plus avg the $50 bonus at $1780 for 7 days... to start with your experience. 5 days will get you $1200 plus the 50 avg. 6 days $1465 plus the 50 avg.
    Drivers can choose any 2 days off except Mondays...Mondays are busiest days for deliveries.
    If you want Tuesday and Wednesday off, you will work Sat/Sun and get $265 each for those days...so that 5 day week will be $1300 plus the $50 avg Fuel.
    My bonus was paid $500/$1000/$1000 within 3 months. Can't say as that is the Norm or not, it was what I negotiated as fair to both sides.
    Also Holiday pay. You take holiday off is paid one rate, and if you are capacity and available for work are paid daily plus holiday.
    I don'y know about health bennies as I don't use them.
    Meat dedicated runs out of Green Bay/ Plainwell MI, and Souderton PA. Outbound ( pre-loaded trailer ) loaded - back to plant empty. Drivers only haul for JBS.

    Okay. Maybe while you're looking for another trucking job you could do per diem work at a clinic or hospital. Some of our retired Doctors and RNs are pulling in big bucks and basically writing their own schedule.
    Are you an MD or an RN? I could give you a couple of leads and if your credentials and references are in order you could probably start working in a couple of days.

    Also Dedicated JBS Pork Div

    JBS Pork plants in Louisville, KY; Beardstown, IL; Ottumwa, IA; Marshalltown, IA; and Worthington, MN

    Midwest, with some Northeast and Southeast, but can change at any time depending on JBS Pork needs

    BTW... they will run you where you prefer in those areas. You'll discuss with your dispatcher when you meet them. Many drivers don't care as Miles are not an issue.
    Pay for pork is same as Meat Div.
    I noticed web pages nee to be updated for Pay. This is not the JBS of over 2 years ago. Not since the mother ship took over...

    Where do you live? Prime will pay for sleep study and the cpap machine if you need one. They will also moniter the machine to make sure you are using it by wifi. Not compliant, no dispatch.
