Promises not kept with JB Gold and Black

..."come on cody "
You don't have to rub it in their faces bro ,we all had to earn our OTR stripes in the beginning ,in fact some of the loner type guys & gals actually like the OTR lifestyle ,no bills to pay ,no steady lover,no children ,the TA buffets, corndogs at the pilot ,CB showdowns in middle of the parkinglot of loves truck stop ,cowboy hats & turgois jewelry ,making 42cpm
,dodging DOT shake downs ,logs ,heavy loads ....."livin the dream " ....yeah im home every afternoon ,bangin my wife ,eating home cooked dinners with my babies ,fishing Saturday morning with the ole flatbottom bass buster or not to mention bowhunting season ,well rested everyday and enjoying life more then sleeping in a truck at the end of the long day with short pay and some low life dispatcher 600 miles away that you just want to choke to death
America needs OTR drivers but she doesn't mind seeing them get cut to pieces ,degraded ,ripped off as long as it doesn't get someone killed ,safety first ....it would be a real shame if someone important got killed by a truck driver

 

I've been to Fontana. It ain't nothing to brag about. That smell you smell is probably Stockton.

 

Keep your chin up missy ,he needs to get with an LTL company ....home every day ,paid by the hr ,medical coverage
Union retirement package , ....LTL wages start at around 18 an hr and top out around 23 an hr ,usually a day shift
M thru F ,some Saturdays ,OT after 8 hrs ,401k plan, paid vacations & sick days ......I've seen guys retired at age 47
from USF holland ,just ask any holland driver if he likes his job ......YES this is the UNION for ya !!! and YES JBHunt is
CORPORATE for ya !!! ....this bein merely fact as example ,not debate political veiw but to welcome all Americans
to a good look at the comparative values in these two systems ......as all you red blooded Americans know already ,
the things we were raised on ,phrases like "We the people " or "Don't tread on me " this means we are declaring responsibly for our values ,freedoms,rights ,free will to choose god or not ,and so on .......unfortunately

The days we live in our society has degraded values .........lyin ,cheating ,marriages are destroyed ,lust ridden
things like this have become not only acceptable but a good thing to brag about .....same with as if to say
" the more deceitful you are ,the more we consider you for promotion " ....we call good evil and evil good

 

I was cruising Facebook this evening and the JB Hunt page showed up in my recommendations. I was curious so I started reading the reviews. I was surprised at how many good reviews I read. Don't know what to make of it. One guy even claimed to have weekends off as well as two weekdays and said he made good money. I wonder how many of those reviews were company shills.

 

Actually...I really do. I'm an intermodal driver so I already hear smack talk from otr drivers about me "taking there jobs" and then you got the fact I work for JB Hunt who some drivers worked for years if not decades before and have a chip on there shoulders because of what happened long ago when they drove for Hunt doing OTR...even though intermodal and otr are vastly different experiences...these drivers just don't seem to grasp that fact. So to me there is no point in being humble about it. I had an otr driver on Monday at an Allen Distrubtion center facility in Carlisle PA trying to talk **** about rail ruining his job, jb hunt and schneider creating the driver shortage on purpose to get all of the freight on rails...even though Schneider isn't even in the big 3 when it comes to intermodal and they might not even be in the top ten, and how the "megas" were ruining trucking with intermodal...even though there are a lot of ma and pa companies that are dedicated to intermodal. Of course he did that acting like he was whispering but loud enough for me to hear. So after hearing his bs when I got up to the window in the shipping office I said loudly "Hey I need you all to hurry up this is my 2nd load and I got 4 more afterwards" Needless to say the driver talking smack wasn't happy to hear that and I smiled at him which pissed him off even worse. No point in being nice about this just go below the belt every time some idiot says something stupid and they shut up real quick afterwards.

 

Actually you need to get into the specifics or I'm just going to call bs right here and now and believe your just fabricating the whole entire story. You said your husband brought home $325.00 a week and not a penny more. You also said sometimes he would be at shippers and receivers for 3 hours to. Okay if I was at a shipper or receiver for 3 hours I would be getting $43 for the live load or live unload, after an hour and a half I would get $17 an hour for the first hour and $25.50 for every hour after that so for 3 hours I would get $72.75. Just going off that and not factoring in mileage pay or any of the other loads you would get through out the day if you multiple that by 5 you get $363.75.
If you want to factor mileage in we can say your husband drove a lousy 100 miles a day...we'll even say he only got paid 30 cents a mile which I know he makes more than that. Right there between the live un/load pay, detention pay, and mileage pay he's over $100 a day which if he did throughout the course of a week he's at $500 a week and after taxes and deductions should be more than $325.00 a week take home. You even state he works max hours as well. So that means your either lying or your husband has absolutely no idea how his pay scale works and when they went over it with him he just bobbed his head acting like he understood when he didn't.
