    Ok I'll do my best at this. You have ask a lot of questions and I don't have all the answers. But here I go.

    1. T-checks
    2. Detention pay is like layover. But you have to let your DM know when they are in. From what I have been paid is $65.00. So I am going to say $65.00.
    3. Layover, breakdown is the same as detention.
    4. T-check
    5. Bridgestone tire for trl's only. Have to get with DM if you have a tire issue with the truck.
    6. Transflow
    7. Yes $300.00 bond fee
    8. No but they will give you a racing hat
    9. Not sure so can't answer
    10. Same as 9
    11. Yes $10.00 per extra stop
    12. Yes mileage/mpg bonus both go together.
    13. Don't know but they will get you box seats to the race if you are in the area and have time. You have to ask for them.
    14. Yes

    Ok that's the best I can do. Sorry couldn't answer everything.

    Advance is $250.00 every Monday. No more then that a week. The advance doesnt get used for lumpers. So if you use it then it comes out you pay but if you use it for company expence then turn in receipts then it get put back you paycheck.

    Lol, you didn't overload me was just shocked. Someone would have asked them sooner or later. The more that are asked the more everyone will know about the company.

    Daniel, Does FRE give a bonus to drivers who bring on new drivers? Good to read that you are doing good with FRE. JBS was good for a while. Keep up with Anne & Craig on thier blog, they seem to be doing well. I have a local driving job, I am a crazy belly dump driver, Love driving off road in a truck with a load of gravel into a field that has no road. Good thread.

    Ya they do have a bonus for bring in driver. But I leave that up to the driver appling to use my name. If they don't put it in the paperwork during the orientation then I don't get a bonus. I don't even know how all except for two that did get a job with FRE and I think only one of them used me as a reference.

    Ya JBS was good for a little while but took a nose dive quick. I tried to tough it out a little thinking it would get better but I was dreaming there...lol. Anne and Craig still with US Express? Haven't seen there blog so not sure what they have been up to. Belly Dumper??? Well as long as you like it and get home to the love ones then thats all that counts. When did you leave JBS if you don't mine asking and why? Well hope to talk with ya later. Stay safe Ricky.

    I left JBS in November, I had two pay periods of 300.00 after taxes. too much sitting. Talked to FM and Darren, no good came from that. seemed like I did a lot of favors or could you help out another driver to get home. Seemed to get alot of BS loads. Wife asked me to comes home and drive local about that time, no brainer. Be on the road and be broke or drive local and make more money, plus this company pays for insurance.

    Craig and anne still drive for US, and still like each other. lol
