Cons of working for Jesse; Small fleet of band-aided together trucks.Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. The shop man will only do enough to get by the day as keeping the hay press used to bale your load to the port breaks frequently.There is down time that will keep you from leaving to Tacoma in a timely fashion (critical to getting back without dealing with heavy traffic)sometimes daily if not weekly, affecting your bottom line.
Jesse is a very young man whom can't seem to mature; as such his anger issues affect workers loading and you as driver. Unprofessional mannerisms and 4 letter words to include yelling demeaning comments to everyone, from drivers, loaders, mechanics and salespeople, carry the day,week and month.
The excuse for this behavior, is that the owner had his parents divorce and his father yelled all the time,so he cant control his behavior. This is a hostile work environment.

The harried Receptionist is the only go between you the driver and the owner. She does everything, as the young owner is so driven by the ability to control that he won't allow any one else to work in the office. He yells at her as well. Due to the sheer volume of dispatching six Port loads a day and numerous hay loads, plus juggling logs, loaders, load orders, freight brokers and babysitting the owner's teenaged helpers, there are sometimes mistakes made that cost the driver valuable time at the ports.

Shop man somehow is God to Jesse, so dont bother asking him to do his job or review repair writeups, as he'll get mad and smoke in your truck as retaliation and then he'll call Jesse behind your back to say you were coming in the yard with your helper axle down etc.

This company wants Farm helpers NOT professional drivers.

Professional drivers BEWARE. You will be a valued driver one day and a fired driver the next, depending on the mood of a 32 year old.
