JBS/GREELY, CO

During orientation was told if drivers don't get lumper receipts that the bill is deducted from drivers pay....1st time I've heard this ever brought up in 11 years driving after retiring from my first career and military service.
Well, had my 1st "entrapment" experience, several attempts with both a EFS CARD and EFS CHECK, authorization numbers "wouldn't work". Dispatch said authorization went through and client would claim it did not- client made sure they delayed me until time for them to go home and returned the B.O.L. with NO RECEIPT. I've never had this happen at any other company before and something didn't seem right so I called 911 to have a lawful record of what was happening. Well, I received a email from the client showing they canceled the lumper fee and moved on.
I found out from 2 other drivers that this is common at JBS.
I also found out JBS was indicted by the United States for price fixing, investigation was done by Australian government of this Brazilian company. The United States fined JBS $300 million and apparently it's not the only nefarious activity they are known for. DRIVERS BEWARE.

 

Google JBS and you will see all the information I've talked about.

 

Yes and yes. I was not letting $400 come out of my pay for someone else to pocket in a scam. I received a copy of the report and an email from the client showing they voluntarily canceled the lumper fee.

 

Nope, local police handled the situation professionally.

 

Dealing with what at the time had all the earmarks of a scam in progress was not a civil matter but a criminal one.
