JBS Carriers Greeley Colorado

Well so far so good for day 1 of orientation in Greeley. Passed all the test even the superman test (ERGO).. Lunch could have been better I'm not a Big fan of Domino's Pizza would have liked a steak with all the beef they pull around..

 

Well if you ever come to Pepsi in Denver you better pack a lunch!

It's 7:30 and my appointment was at 3pm, I am still sitting in the staging area with 35 other trucks!

 

I wont be in Greeley till tomorrow night, gotta pick up a load in Golden tomorrow afternoon.

 

At the Tyson plant in Rogers, AR. Wish all meat plants were like this. Lounge area with big screen tv, bathrooms, showers, and even free wifi. What more can a guy ask for??? Well, ok.... so maybe a......

 

If you're gonna be a meat hauler be ready to sit in nasty meat plants, get a refridgerator for your truck and a coffee pot so you can have coffee of your own and when you're at Swift for 36 hrs you can eat. Been there done it. Spent many a cold, windy, snowy night in Fremont NE with snow drifting over the hood of my truck whilst waiting for a load. Amarillo is a nasty one, chicken plants not usually so bad. Glad Armour closed in SD tho. Getting washed out all the time can be a hassle. You always have trouble with a reefer in Needles when its 115 for some reason. Good luck.

 

Finally pulled away from the dock at 10PM!

My 14 expired while I was getting unloaded so I am spending the night here!

This place is kind of messed up, you have to back in off of the street INTO the building!

 

Well the beers cold in Green Bay, the women kinda of on the young side, food was good though...
Sitting here in the hotel with another JBS who's truck is in the shop AC issues.
Oh well better days coming so I hope lol

 

What's messed up about that? That dock is well lit, the doors are nice n' wide... try some of the places back east that are barely wide enough for a 102" trailer - risking taking your doors off in the process, street so narrow you have to jack the trailer back into it in the process.

 

I agree with Ironpony about the docks back east. been to more than a couple that are narrow,short and unlite. I had a dock at the school districk in Paterson, NJ. i had to jack knife the trailer to get into the dock, let alone the streets being so narrow I have no idea how i got down them with out knocking door handels off of cars.

 

Good morning. I've been reading the threads and have enjoyed them. One question how many miles are you getting in a two week pay period?
