Jones Brothers Flatbed Trucking!’

Yep, there not a bad outfit if your a runner. You really don’t reap the benefits until you get 3 years with them. Happy Holidays to you to.

 

WRT their Medical, the insurance is Montana based with high out-of-pocket and out-of-network costs.

Concerning not starting out with FB, unless you have some sort of Heavy Equipment and/or Class 8 driving experiences, there is a great deal to learn about the industry especially relating to regulations, safety, etc. If you go with JB to earn your CDL, they will put you in a truck Solo with high-expectations of you to run without incident.

I can be more specific on a personal live with my JB experiences and/or put you contact with previous driver of the company.

What type of drug testing does Jones Brothers do?

 

I don't know; I've asked on here, but no one has answered.

 

I work for Roehl and can tell you that as a flatbedder living out west you will get some ling runs. My buddy lives in SD and he is given a lot of coast to coast runs. We have a lot of freight out west. It's actually very good to run out that way because the only real Terminal west of Chicago is Phoenix. We have a drop yard in Fontana and one in Vegas. If your looking to do some good runs it may be good to look into. I am very happy with Roehl and am averaging well over 1,000 a week in the van division. The miles are here if you just keep the door shut and make the loads happen. Most of the negative reviews are from people who have A never worked here or B from people who have worked here and either quit or got fired. They are pretty strict here but overall the training program is very good

 

Also normally those coast to coast runs will be ran like our curtainside division meaning multiple stops. So one run he was given was Portland to Deleware with 8 stops. He gets money everytime he touches the tarp and 50 bucks I believe for every stop. So that run paid him really good money

 

That's actually not true. They do have an I5 dedicated run but a lot of the West Coast guys run coast to coast because of how the runs are set up. Flatbed is probably the one division here that isnt regional. Just curious who did you get this info from?

 

Heres more info about what terminals have flatbed so let's you know where the runs kind of are.

Marshfield: Flatbed, Curtainside, Crane division also runs out of that terminal with dedicated accounts and trucks that doesnt say Roehl, also oversize and RGN as well. Also dedicated Thomas the tank engine trailer out of that terminal.

Appleton: almost never see a flatbed. Dont even train flatbedders to my knowledge.

Gary: the biggest terminal. Will see this terminal a lot regardless of where you live because we relay a lot of stuff from here.

Phoenix: has flatbedders because that's all they hire out west.

Conley: never seen a flatbed there but they do hire a few flatbedders in the SE.

Eastcoast: Bensalem has a few trailers we use for East Coast runs.

Runs are mostly Midwest and West Coast. I do see some every now and than on the East Coast.

The longer you stay out the better also. But living in Montana your in a good area to see all sides of the country. The key being over the road here is to not go home every week when they offer it. The guys NOT getting the miles are doing exactly that. My buddy that lives in SD stays out for about 6 weeks and he runs coast to coast almost the entire time

 

Does Jones Bros do a hair follicle test?
