JBS Carriers Greeley Colorado

OK I am going to try to answer a few questions,

First Relays. and Mileage Questions.

These to topics will have many variations depending on the Driver, the Fleet they are on and Where you are, etc.

I have done a whopping 3 the whole time I have been here, 2 due to drivers not managing their time correctly and putting the load in jeopardy of being late, and 1 Swap so I could get home on time.

Miles Will depend on many factors, Again How you run, who your DM is, how you handle yourself with doing your QC messages. ETC this is why I wrote a Guide for new drivers and how to be successful while at JBS.

Sometimes I wonder I have in the past post my checks on here, and some understand them, and some don't this last pay period was my WORST taking home only 1441.00 for the two week pay period and I took 2 34 hour resets at home. I had 1261.00 in COM Check advances and only 490.50 in reimbursements, So when you do the math I should have had a 2211 check in the bank but I took cash advances and this was my WORST paycheck since coming here 2211 for two weeks. SO I am going to put it this way IF you are making better than 1100 take home every week, or 2200 take home every week then you do not want to read the PDF file I have for drivers. If you are making less than that you might want to think about this. You want to make money Listen to those who are making it, if you wanna stay broke keep doing it your way.

This next two week period will more than likely be the low as I am going to be home for a scheduled time suppose to start on Friday ( I am home now go here last night) truck is in the Cummins shop, so who knows when it will be done but at worst I will make Breakdown pay for 2 days this week, and anything after the 17th will be the same, Next Friday I only expect to take home this is Actual deposit in the bank ( which my spead sheet i designed is only off .10 - .35 cents ) of only 1345.00 with 600.00 in cash advances I will not get paid back for first time ever less than a grand take home per week average. And I have no excuse But I do put the blame on a new DM, which when I brought this to the attention of my other DM he is correcting the problem as we speak, he is working a DOUBLE shift this week to ( suppose to go home on WED) so he can better train the new guy. My Hat is off to this DM as he is committed to his Drivers, and HE actually still cares unlike some. He has not lost his passion for trucking and Yes he was a driver until personal situations predicted that he come off the road.

 

BTW that is a PUBLIC answer to several PM's and questions on here as I am not shy about anything including my pay. As Harley will tell you in a hearbeat I am as bold in person as I am on here I cut no slack, and I will never beat around the bush.
I am to the point and Yes I talk straight with the people in the office's just the same, I am brutally honest to Fault but that is who I am.

 

Now that's something I'm familiar with. Thanks for clarifying that. Makes a lot more sense to me now.

 

Well I'm off to the DeQueen plant then down to Texas.

Does anybody know if you can check in early at Kroger in Keller, TX?

 

You can check in anytime to the Kroger Warehouse in Keller, TX. They have a huge parking area outside the gate. You park, check in at guard shack and they will call you on the CB when have a door ready.

 

to all the new trainee's that smoke.....keep in mind that there is only 8 of us trainers that smoke or allow it on our trucks....we all have trainee's right now so you will be waiting for awhile...like 2 weeks or more....also keep in mind that all the trainers are not the same...some are hard core some are laid back...try and ask for what you thank will work for you best...me ...im laid back but unforgiving if it is saftey issue..also you should know that we are all paid diffrently and could effect the way you run with a trainer....just say'n...and like Doc. im straight fowerd and pull no punches...ask Harley...he servived me

 

I want to thank the few of you who have tried to make our lives a lot easier, such as explaining how things work at JBS. I have learnt a lot and have passed it all on to myhusband who is a new driver here. He is a very happy person, getting the miles so if he is happy I am happy. Thank you Doc, Foxfire and Harley Hope everyone has a safe day. And keep up the good work JBS should be honored to have you on their side.

 

Checked in at Kroger, waiting to get a door. Good thing they have a staging lot as I will be out of hours by the time they unload me!

 

Do you guys know if Jbs offers tuition reimbursement? I got a prehire with them and its one of the questions i forgot to ask. I thought i would ask here before i just called them back. Thx in advance

 

No tuition reimbursement that I know of.
