Here I go on my soap box again but I have to say JB Hunt is about as low as they can get. Their company name should be Just Bull Hunt. Glad to hear you didn't go through with the lease purchase program. I can tell you that you would have gone broke. We just got my husband's 1099 form from them for the last 4 months he worked for them before we were able to get out of the LPP early and without penalty. (I told them I had a lawyer who is ready to file suit against them) Anyway they state he received $30,221.44. Sounds great right? Well minus the fuel, escrow account, maintenance account, insurance, just to name a few and he ended up with $4,500.00. Divide that for the 15 weeks and he averaged about $315.00 a week. Stylicho ....I don't know why Roehl sent you home. Probably something showed up in your background that disqualified you. Seems to me they would have told you the reason.

Oh, yeah? Have we had the ignoramus in question here before?

The grass may be greener on the other side, but it's still grass.

They do not run him "like a Mississippi mule" (whatever that is). They are very safety minded. If you like small paychecks, don't have a family to support at home, JBH is the company of choice. Most drivers prefer to make a good paycheck. I'm not telling you to leave them. Stay as long as you like.

Roehl was the first company I tried to hire on with. Straight out of school I headed that way with high hopes and lofty dreams lol. I ended up being sent home the first day during orientation

. At least I shared a rental with another guy who got sent back instead of having to take the bus again.

Yeah they told me the reason. I took a trial sample of Paxil like almost 3 years before I went to orientation. I took it for anxiety but it was still a trial sample and not even a freaking prescription. I shouldnt have ever told that stupid lady here in Louisiana that I took that thing. Because she put it down anyways. I took two pills and threw it away cause I didnt like it. Anyways I go to Roehl and the doctor sends me home because of it. Anyways I just wanted to point out that JB Hunt isnt the only one that does that. And to get hired onto JB Hunt I had a doctor verify that I could drive, otherwise I would have been #### out of luck again.

Well sorry you had a bad experience with Roehl. They are picky about what they like and don't like. When my husband went from here to Marshfield they rented him a car instead of a bus. I guess he had better luck. Good luck to you.

whispers65233 · **^ Top** #**998** 02.06.2007

I guess they had their reasons and maybe you are right when you said you shouldn't have said anything. But maybe Roehl isn't comfortable with a driver who may have a panic attack behind a wheel of one of their trucks.

stylicho · **^ Top** #**999** 02.06.2007

Yeah, apparently they werent even though I had went through school and like I said it was a trial sample. So ##&^ Roehl. If they didnt give me a chance then why should I say they are a decent company.

Hey no one said you had to give them a second chance. I feel the same way about jb hunt and pam they both suck
