I drove for JB from 1984 to 1991. This photo was taken in 1990 I got this truck when it was brand new. Sheesh! I wished I was still that skinny and still had a head full of hair.

Brings back old memories. That is exactly the style tractor I drove for JB back in 1989.

I remember those day's back then and beyond, we use rag on the JB HUNT drivers. Now it's all about the SWIFTIES.......

I started with 'em in '84; think I stayed until '86 - still have all my hair

Well, if you see 82180, let me know. That was my old unit in '99. Actually a pretty good truck...

Seven speed trans, governed and neutered Cummins engines.. 18 to 23 mph on hills that I take now at 65 mph in a 400 hp truck.. Tripmaster data recorders with cassette tapes in them, no FM radio, tiny bunk, a solid metal jump seat (not air ride).. That's how we drove 'em in the 80's.

And the starting pay was..I think..13 cents per mile? Not sure, it was a long time ago..
