Grasshopper,
40 CPM goes to pay by experience And the Fat Guy who used to be in the orientation Jeff who rolled a Bull Wagon is now a Recruiter, lol
And NOW JBS Hires Students right out of School, Ken is now the "Trainer Manager" whatever that is or means.

the two of you are doing well to keep a positive image going for JBS. As you can see by my user name, you can tell who I am. Mo did NOT hire Russell; Russell was hired by Corporate HR. I did leave to pursue something different....and being successful at it, as well.

To the one that commented that it depended on your DM on how much money you make......that is not entirely true. Having worked both as a DM and Load Planner while there, as well as holding a supervisory position....if the driver has done his job inasmuch as his macros, etc...and the LP has done his job to ensure that there are available loads...there should be no reason why the driver should not be loaded. Prior planning on the drivers' side helps; if the load isn't late coming out of the plant...if the driver doesn't accept a load that he can't legally make (contrary to popular assumption....I heard NO ONE force a driver to take a load!!)...and the driver is able to arrive so he can take his break prior to unloading...that makes it much easier to keep the driver running.

And, like any new company, JBS has had and will have issues. Any trucking company I have ever been with or managed had issues; it is the nature of the beast; shippers, weather, drivers, mechanical, receivers....there are too many variables for it to be an exact science. Everyone putting forth an honest effort and NOT spreading rumors will do more to keep the pride in JBS Carriers it needs to have.

And, the ONLY reason I left is I turned down an opportunity to be a partner in a company three years ago; when the opportunity arose again, I would've been a fool to turn it down again...it is very financially appealing to me and one that I am good at.

All of you...take care....if it is not something that you would say in front of your Mom...does it need to be repeated here??

Hellrazer,
You say MO Handpicked Russell, are you sure he did or is this something you heard around the Yard, Did you ask MO have you ever talked to MO. I have until working at JBS neither of them worked togther. Now you want to know where Russell came from Ask Rory Pluth he worked with him when they were at Jim Palmer, Oh that throws a wrench in it doesn't it. And to think that no one in the office is replaceable, take off the blinders. Emily the HR gal is married to a guy in Corporate, she is no longer there. Steve Edwards No longer there, You might have heard the BS they want you to hear, like Emily Resigned, Steve left to continue his Business.Well as for Emily I have no idea as For Steve Edwards I know different, and I got it from the man himself.
I never said JBS was Perfect at all, But you and all the other Drivers having these issues you are quick to throw out there, Makes me wonder why are you still here? I get home on the dates I put in for, I have 0 Issues with Payroll, I run like a scalded dog. Since last Wednesday (after a 34 reset) Charleston, SC to Marshville, NC P/U deliver Madelia, MN. DH Worthington, P/U for Macon, GA for Sunday AM, Monday 2 stops St Pete, FL Final in Auburndale, FL on tuesday, Pickup Tuesday 1500 Plant City, Florida for Richmond,VA on Thursday 13:00. Then Home for time Off.3476 Paid Miles In 7 Days. I will roll another 896 miles Wednesday and Thursday before I go home.
99% of the issues drivers have with Payroll, come down to the Driver not doing things the right way Bottom Line. No Glasses just plain common sense and the ability to follow the set guidelines to get paid on time.

You mentioned being threatened with termination, What did you do wrong tell the WHOLE truth, or nothing at all.
It is rather odd that you bring petty issues to this forum and rock back and forth with me about them. If I had half the problems you Do I would be in Russells office, and when that did not work I would be in Mo's office. If all that failed then I would consider going to another company, and if that Failed I would consider another line of work. When you point the finger at someone who you says is at fault, you have 4 others pointing back at you. Think about that until you are willing to correct internal problems it is impossible to fix the external. Not all these issue's you point out are being brought up by all the Drivers, now if you count the 10 of you standing around at a Meatplant complaining and ######## about the problems and not being a Part of the Solution, well then all of you are right the Problem is not you it is the company, as they have put up the Millions to put drivers in equipment, hired the Management to run it, and Set forth guidelines, either you can work with it, or you can go somewhere else. As I have said before to many people McDonalds is always hiring Future Managers.
Before you come back on here ranting again take the time to evaluate yourself and make the changes to make the JBS Program work.
having Spent the short time I have here and to make the money I am and not to have the issue's I hear all the "old" drivers complain about is amazing. This is Trucking, not Pampering or Wendy's it is what it is. 17 Years of pulling a Garbage wagon for the same people and now on with a "big" company I am stunned by all the whining people do, if they want to do things different they should go out, buy a truck and do it how they want. When you work for someone else, you do it their way or well you are not there anymore. Less than 90 days with this company and I have a Gross income of over 13k so far, 8 days shy of 90 days. I must have done something right, and by far a lot less whining about the bad.

Steve,
Nice to See you,
I hope you are doing well in your New Adventure, I can tell you this YOU are truly missed by Drivers and DM's Bkeuhne and Ddouglas are two who speak very highly of you not to mention many drivers, some of us Understand why you moved on for bigger and Better things. As Benny Hill is now Retired from Safety and a Independent Recruiter Benny Hill Recruiting LLC. Pretty cool that a Man with his knowledge of the industry and formidable driving record over some 40 plus years, is still involved in trucking in some way. Talk about trucking being in your Blood, Next time I come to Greeley (not any time soon maybe in Feb) A cold beer is in order Steve, I have not been in Greeley since the Bar B Q. Can not imagine why lol. But things are going well, as with anything there has been some minor issue's which have not in any way affected my income or mileage. But as you know sometimes personalities conflict and agenda's are affected. Oh How things have changed many changes for the better, some well I do not know how the DM's and Load Planners get anything done with all the Meetings, reminds me of a Senate hearing.

Merry Christmas Steve, and Merry Christmas to All Who read this thread, God Bless and Be safe out there on the Road wherever it may take you.

Striker,
That is funny No this Ain't Swift Jeff Is a Good Person, he has just been sucked into the wrong Department with the "certified Recruiters" Before Jeff went to HR and Recruiting he was one of the Boys. But now H has flipped to the evil side it is sad too what a waste of talent. And Yes JEFF I know you will read this I just hope that maybe you will let it sink in.

DocHoliday · Dec 26, 2010

Well Once again I will be home a day or two early and Dec has been another good month, considering I was only out for 25 days this month, I have done well.

Hey Doc I was wondering what the home time from your experience would be for a guy from the Tampa area. I see you are out quite a while but I must have missed it that is required or your choice. I see JBS trucks around her all the time but didn't know whether they lived here or what. Thank's for any help or advice about coming on from around here.
