JBS Carriers Greeley Colorado

I talked with safety today and I was told its bmi( or)neck to be a requirement for the sleep apnea test. Unlucky for me as my neck was only 15 1/2 inches at the doctors office. I guess it really doesn't matter because Im scheduled to take the test anyways but it does kinda suck that I'm wasting time for something I don't need or shouldn't be required to do.

Anyways I was just putting this info out there so people can know what I know and if Jbs orientation is in your future make sure you actually see the measurements. When I was in orientation I was told my bmi was high andddd my neck was to big (over 17 inches)but there's no way I lost a inch and a half on my neck in 5 months. O well it is what it is.

 

why dose this company make such a big deal out of the sleep apnea test ??? I don't hear any other company making a big deal about it isen't it apart of the lifestyle we as truckers live ???

 

I saw that this morning,I must've picked up close to you, I picked up at Stellar Dist. on 50th st. and Lawndale, think I saw your truck when I left out of there around 0830

 

alot of co. do this, but depending on who you talked to in safty will determan if you got the correct information or not

 

From what i can tell, i don't think that it's JBS that is making a big deal with the sleep apnea test. It looks more like the drivers that are making a big deal out of it on this tread.A few years back i saw this coming and i felt that i might have it. I put on some weight so i went and got tested and have sleep apnea, No big deal, i am trying to loose weight and get rid of it. Look at the weight of the current drivers out there, it's a bad deal,thats why the medical profession is jumping all over it, back in the day you would not really see that, all were skinny dudes that could drive like hell out here, must have been all that " California Coffee " back then. Just my .02

 

Yup,

I've had to cut back a few calories myself.......

 

I'm wondering if any of you that drive for JBS run out of Pilgrims Pride in Mt Pleasant, Tx? I'm betting on a real long shot here that I can find an old friend of mine, Bob Lubonski. I don't have his truck number or even his user name, only that he's living in Mt Pleasant. He's 46 and has red hair ... like that helps 100%. Like I said, it a real long shot but better than no shot at all. Thanks for any help!

 

That was me, I delivered my load then went back there to wait for a preplan!

 

And yet JBS doesn't see the problem with that statement?
