    See the thing is I'm loyal to my company untill I sense being jerked around

    I dont #### around, I am a asset. Great csa score, nearly a million safe miles, prompt and on time. They need/want me more than I need them. Not ####y but I know my worth and I am worth more than being a dock hand that drives a little.

    If it were me, I'd stay. Like I've said on other threads I even tried several times to lease on with my own truck, but I'm out of the boundry. If it wasn't a good program, there wouldn't be a list.

    I do know it sucks ### going to work, when you don't like it, especially when you like to work !!!
    I'm doing that now. The love for my dad over rules what I want to do. And the boss actually did get on the customer about F around for 10 or 15 minutes, when they need to get busy and get the truck unloaded. 5 or 6 stops a day, adds an extra 6 to 8 hours a week to my week, that I don't get paid for, just so they can jerk off.

    How long have you been on the list?
    They have pretty good equipment too for L/P, pretty fair price, I'd get a Freightliner, I'd never touch a used Cummins.
     
    Md420 Thanks this.

    There's a waiting list? Lol I can apply to jb hunt now and get a phone call in 3 minutes.

    I know companies don't like when drivers switch departments but 7 months is enough time to give a FD account

    They do l/p through Quality. I was planning on doing a 06 Colombia with a 12.7 or a 2012 t700 with a cummins. I've had good luck with the 2350 isx's

    Phoenix has the most giant fleet of JB Intermodal you've ever seen. These trains roll in with hundreds & hundreds of JBH containers. I drive down the main rail line daily, have for 10 years, and JB has like 10 containers to everybody else's 1. Dunno how many tarctors, their intermodal tractor fleet isn't far from the DC I work out of. All ProStars.

    Most intermodel is the snub nosed cascadia's. On alot of the dcs they have the prostar with the small sleeper and the otr guys have cascadia evolutions

    They do not actually lease their own equipment out anymore. It is all handled by quality leasing
