    Was not threatening you, was making a point that if the ones that started the nonsense that caused the other tread to be closed came here and started it, they would be dealt with.

    JBS was just not a right fit, miles were going up and down and had found something better thats more of a fit for what I need is all..

    Appreciate the comeback! Good luck in your new adventure and hope it works out. What was your opinion on JBS trucks? 387 or t660. Which did you drive? How was Cactus Tx plant and Grand Island to work with?

    Thanks giants! What about Thant plant near Phoenix? Greeley should get a little better once they move to the yard just north of current yard. Heard Greeley is terrible for truck service though? Hyrum much better I've heard. What percent of your loads are broker loads? 20-30? How is Greeley about answering their phones? Thanks again!!

    After 10 years of being an O/O I'm signing papers with JBS as a company driver. Me and the wife are just tired of all the bs,taxes,fuel costs,repair costs ect ect. I keep wondering if I'm making a mistake going back to being a company driver, would like some input but no beatings ok?

    Yeah grand island is a mess and when it rained or whatever watch out and dont get stuck in the mud..

    cactus is alright as long as they can get the loads out on time, that was a issue when going there every time..

    Az, Never made it to that one at all..

    Greeley is alright unless you have to get your load re-loaded then it blows because they want to take their sweet time..

    Pa, is not so bad either, just hope you dont get stuck there waiting.. The Wendy's down the street from there allows (or did) bobtail parking to grab some food..

    Answering calls is alright just depends on who your calling and if they are busy or not?

    That's why im on here also, just trying to find out all I can before making a move. I've been researching JBS for some time now and like I've said before, I hope JBS becomes a good company to drive for.... They are still a really inexperienced company as far as transportation goes but I believe they will improve in time. They have too!
