Ummmm something really big is happening tomorrow.
 
I just cant say what it is. Just watch...that way I can say I told you so.
Remember you almost heard it here first.

Syncrosonix 03-19-2008 03:21 PM

if it's not on channel 19 or 14, it cannot be true. don't'cha know that all truths are spoken on those channels? :P

TK THE TRUCKER 03-19-2008 03:26 PM

You're right, something is happening tomorrow. My 7 days of home time is over and I'll be back on the road, so watch out !!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted:

CB JR. 03-19-2008 03:36 PM

I shouldn't let it out.. but since SD has led some drivers in some pretty bad directions I'll tell you JB Hunt is merging with Swift. Swift has a real big interest in their intermodal division so this is the reason. It'll be announced tomorrow like SD said. Sorry SD. Oh well, atleast Hunt is now gone.

Lol. I only turn on my CB when Im out on the trails in my jeep.
But this just might be one time where the big mouths on channel 19 were actually right.

Really Im dying to tell. I will just say its really big.
I wish someone else would talk about it, so we could discuss it. I just really cant be the guy who puts this out here, yet. There might be some Confidentiality laws or something I could screw up.

I have led some drivers in some wrong directions???? Name one. Come on, I have recruited many drivers out on this board. Surely you can name someone I have led down the wrong direction.

As far as Swift merging with JB....WRONG! Thank you for playing, however, YOU LOSE.

at the t/a in foristell, mo, i let my then girlfriend fart around on the cb (before i disconnected it). i had the curtains pulled in my truck, so that nobody could see who was yapping. she was saying stuff in the effect of, "i'm not wearing any panties!" you can imagine the rest of the night being quite chatty after that line. all the dirty pervs wanted to know which truck she was on.

at any rate, i'm curious as to what kind of news will be unveiled tomorrow.

CB JR. 03-19-2008 03:47 PM

You posted just a few weeks ago you've never recruited off these boards. Typical full of it recruiter. Announcement is you get a real job tomorrow.

Sorry, but if you don't tell us what it is, then you can't say you told us so, because you didn't.


Remember you almost heard it here first.
I could say my 80 year old grandmother "almost" told me too. :lol:


It's pretty clear from the TMC thread that one of the big carriers is either declaring bankruptcy or being bought out.

TK THE TRUCKER 03-19-2008 03:48 PM

Oooooo.... the suspense is killing me ! I just can't wait, I can't do it !!!!!!!! :twisted: I think a hint is in order ?

Sheepdancer 03-19-2008 03:50 PM

Im sure I would be one of those immature jerks on the CB if I ever turned mine on while on the road. Im just funny that way.

Syncrosonix 03-19-2008 03:51 PM

i'm guessing that tom cruise finally came out the closet, or that scientology has finally lost its tax exempt status, and that david miscavige has a federal warrant for his arrest. gawd, i freaking hope so! down with scientology!

I said I dont ACTIVELY recruit on this board. However, If someone PMs me and wants a job, Im happy to help them.

A real job? You couldnt do this job, numbnuts. I can assure you I make WAY more money than you with my "NOT REAL JOB"

in a long ass line at the indiana toll plaza along i-90, i popped off my arnold schwarzeneggar voice impersonation. i was doing that for the entire 10 minutes i was waiting to get my toll ticket. i could have done meatwad. unfortunately not very many truckers out there are familiar with aqua teen hunger force.

Sheepdancer 03-19-2008 03:55 PM

This is turning out to be a fun thread....At this rate with the little punk CB chiming in with his mindless rants, it actually might get locked before tomorrow.

You're right. This did get crazy really quick! :twisted: No more from me, I really need to get to bed 8) 8)

CB JR. 03-19-2008 04:00 PM

Sorry to get your post off topic. I know all you wanted to do tonight was create a little attention for yourself so ya could make a little bit of gas money from some new recruits.

Anyone can be a bullshit artist.. you're proof.

hahah! did you also see his speech at a scientology awards ceremony and the interview he did about his "religion", and dealing with "sp's"? i'll be rejoicing the day that cult loses its tax exempt status, or if he and david miscavige die in a fire.

Sheepdancer 03-19-2008 04:02 PM

Sure, Im always for making more money. You can never have enough. But thats not why I posted the thread.
However, now that I think about it, the thing that will come out tomorrow could actually make me a lot more money.

CB JR. 03-19-2008 04:03 PM

Keep listening to truck driver rumors and see how far you get in life.

Sheepdancer 03-19-2008 04:05 PM

Some truck drivers I listen to, some mindless clowns, like you, I dont.
However, if I got this information from a rumor, I would be the first not to believe it.

CB JR. 03-19-2008 04:07 PM

Hey uhhhh while you're insulting me, could you find me a $1k a week OTR gig while you're at it?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

TK THE TRUCKER 03-19-2008 04:08 PM

Ok it's tomorrow. 00:06 by my clock.... let's have it............. ok I'm really going to bed now

dle 03-19-2008 04:12 PM

Hey sheep you want me to tell them?

CB JR. 03-19-2008 04:19 PM

Do you really have to ask for his permission?

Sheepdancer 03-19-2008 04:22 PM

Sure, dle...if you know what Im talking about, you can say.

dle 03-19-2008 04:22 PM

is this in relation to the e-mail you sent me?

TK THE TRUCKER 03-19-2008 04:28 PM

This is great. People are going to see this thread and have to dig through 3 pages just to find out what it's about :D :D I would have been in bed an hour ago if it wasn't for this thread :twisted:

Cluggy619 03-19-2008 04:28 PM

Is it going to affect me?

That's the real question on everyones mind.

If so, I would like to know what and how.

If not, then I don't care. I got more important things to do.

One more thing....as far as recruiting off this board..you told everyone you were back into the game when you came back from the other job, so why wouldn't you? I would, if I was you. Cash is cash. :wink:

And everyone would be crazy to think that you wouldn't.

And some of us are still waiting for my t-shirt and cap. :lol: :lol:

CB JR. 03-19-2008 04:30 PM

Sheep should be donating some money to this site for it helping his business. Too bad he doesn't make much to give out though.

Sheepdancer 03-19-2008 04:42 PM

I dont think CB realizes how much recruiters actually make.

I will say this about JB Hunt recruiting because I no longer work there. If you ever drive down 540 in NW arkansas and pass the JB hunt building look over at the size of it and know that there are very few people in that huge building that make more than the recruiters in there. It is potentially the highest paid job at JB hunt corporate. Just the VPs and upper management usually make more. My last year there the top JB recruiter made 345K ( it wasnt me...not even close....I was about 18th out of 120) I left there because I knew I could make even more money than I was.
Thats personally what I love about recruiting. Im free to make as much as I want. Commissioned income is the only way to go

I tell you what Clugg...Next time im down in the DFW area, I will personally bring you all my JB Hunt hats, t-shirts, my little desk size metal JB truck. My JB Squishy ball and about 200 of those log ruler thingies.

CB JR. 03-19-2008 04:46 PM

Dont believe JB would give a recruiter 345k for one year. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: There's plenty of washed out JB recruiters on other boards who claims they dont make chicken feed. Dont go pumping something up that isn't true.

Recruiters are commissioned based employees. Their income isnt limited.
The big wigs at JB or any other corporation with commissioned employees WANT HIGH PAID EMPLOYEES. Of course they would be happy to pay the top recruiter that much...HE DID THE WORK.

At JB you are paid a 30K base plus commission. And yes, quite a few people fail at it. A lot of people get into it because they think its an easy job, then they find out how hard it is and quit. Basically at JB if you arent making at least about 52K a year, you will be fired.
A pretty funny story about how hard it is. My father is a retired executive VP of Merrill Lynch and also a Harvard MBA. Not too long ago he got bored with retirement and wanted to go back to work. So I got him on recruiting. After about 4 months, he decided it was the hardest job he ever did and quit....lol
I dont deny that their are probably ex jb recruiters on message boards whining about how bad it was. People who fail at jobs usually blame the company. But what I said is true, the top recruiter made 345K....a pretty high % make 6 figures easy and the rest make 52K-99k plus.

mikey4069 03-19-2008 05:24 PM

Hows it going sheepdude ? :lol:

Twilight Flyer 03-19-2008 05:26 PM

I'll play.

Let's see...two 600+ outfits have gone out this week. One major training company is cutting back on training, possibly to zero. Another major flatbed company is teetering on the brink and may be gone by the end of the week. One of the big boys is being actively marketed, but no one wants to buy...in the meantime, they've reduced their truck speed and have completely shut down all new hiring, as well as announced that no one will be deadheaded home more than 50 miles. In addition, another large company and likely more than one, is eliminating their pet programs to cut down on idling.

Am I close? ;) I know the names of all the companies listed above, by the way. :)

Lot of big stuff going on right now...the next 30 days are going to very interesting. Those that survive stand to do well in growth and rates are going to shoot back up. Why? Because those trucking companies that were doing their cheap freight are no longer around to do it and the survivors will set some nice new contract rates because of it.

Survivors will stablize, profit, and grow, and then a whole new batch of lease purchase operators will be borne in order to start the downward trend once again. :roll:

It's a self purging industry...the purge is going on fast and hard right now. When the dust settles, outside recruiting firms and commission based recruiters are going to make a killing. Almost sad to be on salary myself. :)

And the cycle rolls on.
