I've been a highway driver at JBT for over 2 years. The staff is friendly, always take time to help. It's a non forced dispatch. There's lots of work if you want it. Give dispatch a days notice and they will turn you back out.

Dispatcher (Former Employee) - Ayr, ON - 5 January 2020

JBT Transport was an awesome place to work for. The people there really look out for you, and they want to make sure they can help you excel. It is like a family there, and they really work to make you feel at home.

Its an ok workplace

City Truck driver (Former Employee) - Ayr, ON - 14 April 2017

Salary is very low as a highway or city truck driver. People are nice trucks are well maintained. Still doesn't make up for below average wage salary in Canada. The cost of having family benefits is $95 a week for 80% coverage. That's almost $5000 per year coming out of your paycheque. Single benefit is about $42 per week. The pay out on you benefits is far less then what your paying in. Nice people and all but not making enough for the responsibilities associated with handling a truck and trailer. This is suppose to be a career. It's hard when you have to put in 60 to 70 hours a week to make a good pay cheque at JBT. Puts a lot of pressure and stress on a family working that much

Pros

No pros

Cons

Long hours with low salary

Very good place to work.

City Driver (Current Employee) - Ayr, ON - 18 December 2016

I would recommend to anyone. The days are long and the salary is a little on the low side. Operations works with you for family issues like doc appointments and or dentist. Smaller company with a good bunch of people
