    In 2002 I went to a local warehouse and found out that JB had a contract to haul their loads.
    The "yard" was only 4 miles from my front door.

    BIG thing was it was a DEDICATED fleet.

    Cool.

    I went to JB after 10 years of giving them crapola while driving "real trucks".
    They promised preloaded trailers, no waiting to load, home twice a week, and 2000+ miles a week.


    So what did they do ???

    - I got 1500 miles average.

    - Waited at mills for 8+ hours MANY times to get load.

    - Got home only on weekends.... home friday night and leave out sunday noon.

    - Wrote me up cause some lady said I was "honking my horn at her and flashing my lights". Which was HALF true.
    She had me hemmed in on the exit only lane I-65 north of Birmingham, and the "flashing lights" were my left turn signal trying to get over.
    Yes, I blew horn at her to get attention off her cellphone.

    - Pushed my to "get there", but penalized me if I ran over hours.

    They are a larger version of the same old #### you get anywhere else.
    Just SLOWER down the road.
