JBS Carriers Greeley Colorado

Harley,a division of lone star milk is bullseye transport in baxley ga. I helped them out in feb this year for 2 weeks and did nothing but baxley to orlando and went to miami 2x,velda farms exit 14 on 95 right beside. They only pay .29 cpm to start but you come back empty 95percent of the time. Drivers scoff at the pay but I made 45k last year and was home every week. Detention has changed since I left but it was 10 an hour after 4 hrs and you fill the sheet out-no teeth pullin to get paid. I only left from burn out,tired of runnin 3600+ every week and I mean every week. Bad thing with milk haulin is cows have to be milked daily an that includes christmas and turkeyday new years etc. Things don't get betta I might be MOOOOVIN milk again......

 

Driving Florida and Georgia sounds great!

 

Well my load was finally ready 12 hours late and I really wanted to get on the road and stop sittin around thinking so I went ahead and drove till I couldn't hold my eyes open anymore! I have been awake for 23 hours so they better not ##### about me only driving 8 hours tonight!

As it stands now I see no way possible for me to deliver this load at 9am tomorrow as by the time I get there IF I can make it there, I will be out of hours and there is NOWHERE to park anywhere remotely close after I unload! So they better come up with a relay or push the appt time back..............

 

Learn recovery/wrecker work.

Sleep at home,

live a real life...........

Plenty of new truck drivers to supply you alot of work !!!!

 

I've been towed a few times, those guys have WAY more skills than I do!

 

what a depressing forum the past few days.....

 

Depressing enough I am taking XANAX to read this....
I am on my way home in about 20 minutes as soon as I transflo my paperwork from my truck, and then I am on my way home, look out BUD LIGHT Here I come, Drinking away the crappy 2 weeks.

 

So what does the other jbs drivers think is going on here at jbs? I was deadheaded from albany, ny to marshallltown, iowa. Still don't have a preplan yet so god knows how long I will be sitting out in iowa. Yea let's try not to get too excited. I hear from this board that people are quitting jbs. I wonder why?

 

Could be that load planners are so bad at what they do and have been getting yelled at for not being able to plan and cover loads that instead of learning how to trip plan they are simply having trucks sit there waiting for the loads.

Much simpler then actually working wouldn't you say?

Can't miss a load if trucks are sitting waiting, sucks for the drivers but on paper and as far as management knows, they're doing a great job, all loads are now covered.

Just one of what are probably many mismanaged reasons for you guys sitting over there.

 

Or could be that Marshalltown is getting ready to unload an enormous amount of freight and J.B.S. is simply setting you guys up for a huge payday. That's possible as well...

You guys might be the lucky few. Starting to wish I was out there with you now.
