    Anybody here run this acct? I'm starting orientation next monday. Sounds like a decent gig, home daily, decent money. Just wondering how often there are live loads, waiting for empties, etc. Thanks in advance.

    I have ran the quaker out of Columbia, mo . They seem to have the trailers pre loaded most of the time. as with any place its not a gurantee.

    Well I spoke with my new manager yesterday, and he gave me the info. It seems they person that called me about the job had the details all wrong. When he started asking me "so what did they tell you?" I thought oh crap, here comes the bait and switch. Boy was I wrong. I found put ill running days, have an assigned truck and make more then I was told. I found it funny that he kept saying "now the days off aren't the best." I said that doesn't matter because everything else makes up for it. Home daily, way better $$ then I was making staying out all week running walmart for sni, so I was cool with that. He also seemed to be a very good guy and considering he only deals with 6 drivers his stress level isn't as high as compared to what I was dealing with.
    I must say I was a bit worried about my decision to accept the gig but now that I have spoken with him I'm glad I did.
    The perks out weight anything else. I will actually get to see and spend time with my kids and make beyond a living wage.

    Are you sure that is the account you are going to get? I've heard JBH is famous for hiring people for a specific account then when you pass orientation you get the old "that position is filled, you will be running something else instead." I hope that isn't what your signed up for, best of luck to you.

    when you deal with specific accts like this the account manager will tell you up front. The recruiters are full of BS...... You should be good.
