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.
