JBS Carriers Greeley Colorado

Wow Kinda thought this load was 2 good to be true. This is why I didn't jump for joy when I got it. A Ft worth tx to Syracuse NY. Only problem is it picked up friday. No big deal. Just head up to cow town sit at entrance of millard and get a 34 hr restart in. Even though I still had 45hrs left on my 70.

Then I get the dreded double beep. 1 beep usually means dispatcher is telling everyone she is going to lunch, but when I looked at time. It was 2 early. Checked message and was a PP. Quick thought went thru my mind. Maybe they pp already for monday when i'm Unloaded, but was a pp from Laporte to Lufkin Urkkk. I'm in Ft. worth. I already did my arrival at shipper call. Well make the call and the dreaded words I hear every time I get a good Pilgrims pride load. Load was cancelled.

Good part is I'm going to lufkin to drop trailer and bob tail to Brazil to get a new trailer and they will pay for DH up here to cow town total of 1300 miles. Could of been 1700 if load wouldn't have cancelled but its trucking. Now I just have to wait an hr to get my 11 back. Have a great day people.

 

I've only had that experience with one company, but they told me flat out, NO. I think thats because they were also offering a $2000 sign on bonus, and looking at their recent ads, they've dropped it.
It's just weird, some want recent, meaning past 2 years, or 5 years.
The application I filled out wanted to know everywhere I've driven in the past 5 years.
If I get up there, and they try and bump me down, they can fly me back home. lol

 

stopped at a Love's to get some lunch, came out and saw a trail of blood going from my trailer across the parking lot!............................

 

Wait till you unload.....its nasty

 

What, you didn't hide that body??????? You better get on that man!!!

 

MR Foxfire i realize you make more than new trainers, an to me the extra 2cpm is not worth it, but i have been thinking maybe the miles would make it worth it, do you get longer trips being a trainer ? an how many miles a week do you average ? can you take a break from training an run solo sometimes ?

 

I have a couple questions about jbs. Do they have company drivers and can you lease a truck. Do you have a choice? Also what is starting pay after you get hired. Being new, just got my cdl I do not want to lease a truck.

 

jbs is mostly company they have no lease trucks the starting pay for a student i dont know maybe doc harley or foxfire can anwser that or just browse the pages its in there somewhere

 

we are all company drivers no lease, no owner operaters, pay depend on experience, students after training is 30 cpm i think,,, i would advice against leasing anywhere in this economy

 

would you be able unload an easy load such as a rolloff or tailgate a load yourselves for the mulah$$$ had a lumper do an easy roll off to the back of a trailer for forklift to recv pallet load,, was 7total and it wanted over 200$$for a lumper fee no breakdown like he said it would be!!
