    How do you make 46 cents a mile and where are you going from Kentucky that will equal 2900 miles you know you in the middle of the country bro. I been here a year and a half and I can see from other post you are brand new. So I'll let you get a month in and then we will see who doing the bravo siera ;)

    I got ya. Ya Hyrum does have pretty good loads out of there. If you can get up that way. Well you be safe buddy and I look forward to reading your post to see how they r treating you. I know its the economy so I'm not going to complain to much. Just letting you know bro don't put them on that pedestal yet, because they may disappoint you, but you being out here for so long. You know the honey moon doesn't last long. So get it while you can and save up for the bad weeks because its a roller coaster.. Have a Good night.

    Will hopefully continue to run with J.B.S. but they will or can never be as bad as Covenant Transport so I think I'm in a Win Win situation.... lol!

    These guys sound good. I'm trying to find a good place to team with my girlfriend. She is in CSL school, I have 4 years exp. We live in northern Ohio, do you think this would be a good company for us?

    We do have teams although we are mostly a solo company so I really cant speak about how the miles are for teams.

    my O class had 20 on monday then 5 more showed up on Wedsdays. one quit two hr into class on Monday. Some could not pass the ergo testing. Some of the students were lied to about their pay scale. So they quit. It was an outside recruiter. My recruiter was right on the money with everything. Arrived on Sunday. Waited two hrs for a shuttle van from greeley,Co.
    Took about 1.3 hrs from Denver Intl to hotel Clarion in Greeley, Co. Okay room but room service is only 1 day a week their. They change the towels but not the soap.

    They don't put new coffee out for the in room coffee maker.

    Breakfast is buffet. Eggs were cold everyday, coffee was hot. Sauage was warm... cheap... Lunch that JBS bought was Pizza on Monday, Tuesday and Wedsday was Subway crap.

    Dinner at the hotel can be expensive. They have a bar, pool, workout room. They have plenty of other places to eat for cheaper and good food. Mexican RT to street LT to mexicon place. 5 min walk. Family dollar, liquor. go out motel turn right. Turn right, walk untill you see F dollar on right smokes and booze across the street. Watch for traffic. FYI. Watch out for the Hotel manager. She is a #####. She jumped on us for reading the todays special sign. Not sure what that was all about. We just laughed at her.
    Their is a transsexual living or staying their as well. He/She is related to the manager. So don't get to drunk.
    Over all good company personal. they just fired a bunch of the top personal. from the President down to the Driver mentor trainer. So things are changing here. Orintation Dan has been here for 1 month now. somehave been here from personal only 2 years. Truck are good. KW T700 2011. I finished orintation on Wedsday 8/24/11 then did the driver tranier course, Completed that on 8,26/11. Still waiting for a load. i need to get home to unload some stuff. Everyone else got a load out right away. or the next day.

    Call recruiting and talk with Catlin. She was right on with me about miles, everything.

    Silly question, little off topic, but......do you use the soap only once at home and then throw it away?

    I was thinking of goin to work for jbs straight out of truck driving school an my recruiter was saying they would start me out at 30cpm. But she say that 20cent was miles an 10 per diem can anyone shed some light on that for me im a little confused how that works. An also how many miles are the solo company drivers avg a week. Any extra info would be greatly appreciated thanks.
