That's a relief. I actually started to question her integrity. Glad I was wrong. Good riddance to that #######.

Why? It wouldn't have been necessary to have this bottom feeder spreading his poisonous lies around our forum. If it up to me, he would have been gone after his first post.

Well, if that's the case, maybe for a driver to make any money there he has to own stock in the company. That way they wouldn't be stealing from you.

Portand,
I have to agree with duckie. I am wish he was not banned. Seems to be one of the few suspected JB recruiters I have seen that didn't run or get rude when drivers started getting on his case. Perhaps something was in the PM to cybergal we don't know about? If so understandable. Otherwise I'd say let him back in.

Re: JB Hunt

Here's the a few thoughts on all of this.

When someone wanders in here, like a half dozen or so of those who work for JB Hunt have done, there are some good things that come of it.

1.) It allows people to see for themselves what kind of tactics are used in the recruitment of drivers, and through the ability to be able to respond to their tactics, it exposes the truth.

2.) It proves that this site is making people nervous, and it is indeed working.

I want people to understand something. The goal and purpose is not to run any company out of business. The goal, at least from where I sit, is to expose the problem companies, their unapologetic greed, their incompetent support staff, their refusal to improve the working conditions, and at the very least, allow interested parties to see which companies that fail to offer a job that meets a miminum of ethical standards.

At the same time, these forums can allow companies to get an understanding as to why they churn and turn drivers, if they are at all interested. If by chance these forums have any impact whatsover on their ability to continue the same practices that are exposed here, and it impacts their bottom line, then I for one, will not shed a tear over it, and will sleep like a baby every night because I know that through the dissemination of fact, opinion, and discussion, it is effecting change, be it subtle or majestic in nature.

References have been posted in other sections of the boards, to stories of research that has been performed to find out why drivers quit jobs and go elsewhere. In just about every one of those stories, the people polled, asked, or referred to in the articles involved people that sit behind a desk, but not behind the wheel of a truck.

Pardon me, but what the heck would they know about it? Why not ask the Governor of Iowa what the job as President of the United States is all about?

If you want to find out what is on the minds of drivers, what bugs us, what we are about, and why we leave jobs for greener pastures, HERE WE ARE BABY!!!

You don't have to spend a dime. You don't have to do months of research, and ask thousands of questions. Pull up a chair, click your mouse, and learn.

It's not a question of social status. And before we break out the violin, let's at least be honest.

IF any recruiter were to come out swinging, it would certainly counter the purpose that you are attempting by coming in here. Your hope is to debunk what is out there against JB Hunt, and to further your agenda, which is what?

The goal of a driver when he contacts a recruiter, is to inquire into the prospects of whether or not JB Hunt is a company that he might be interested in working for. He or she most likely has a family to support.

You made it clear as a bell, that you are not paid for drivers who do not make it into the seat of one of JB Hunt's trucks.

While the driver may or may not be interested in the job, based upon answers that he receives to his inquiries, you are not truly interested in providing truthful answers, are you? You are paid to get people to apply for a job, into orientation, and into one of those seats for at least a day. Having done that, your job is done. You're hardly concerned with anything like the fact that you may have placed a driver into a totally detestable job, that you may have placed him into a situation that will result in him quitting in short order which may throw his family finances in jeopardy, and you sure don't care whether or not they will stay.

You are PAID to LIE. Your very job DEPENDS on it. Forgive me if I do not find that noble and worthy of praise.

Quote:
As far as lying....once again, Im lied to by drivers much more than you are lied to by recruiters. Yet, you seem to lump everyone into the same group. Fact is that people in every profession lie.
Yes...SOME drivers do lie. They will attempt to hide negative issues surrounding their past, which I would never excuse in a million years. Two wrongs never make a right however, and as silly as that comparison is, it's pathetic for you to insert it into this subject.

What about those drivers that have good records? Do they not deserve the truth when they are seeking a job? Why screw up their futures and their employment records, by persuading them to take a job that they clearly are not interested in, and will likely quit when they discover the rouse?

Quote:
As far as your description of recruiters....you seem to be steriotyping. Gee....you drivers dont seem to like when people steriotype drivers....wouldnt that be a little hypocritical of you? As far as lying, thats the fastest way for me to lose my job. It just takes one time me being monitored and me lying for me to be boxed up (fired)
Please...you're insulting the intelligence of millions of drivers who have experienced this first hand, with recruiter after recruiter.

JB Hunt is KNOWN for the terms and conditions changing once they have a driver on site and away from the safety of their home. If I had a dollar for every post where a driver was told he was being brought in for a dedicated position, and told that there had been "a mistake" made, and that he would have to go OTR until "another position opened up", I'd be able to take my wife to Hawaii on a two week vacation, and she could shop 'til she dropped for the entire two weeks as well.

When I actually entertained and considered the idea that maybe I ought to check out JB Hunt, back last January, I discovered in conversations that I had with no less than four recruiters over a ten day period, numerous intentional misrepresentations, most of which, have been written about in various JB Hunt threads in this section of the site. I recorded those conversations. I still have them on tape.

Quote:
Have we ever had a recruiter here who lied? of course.....they are no longer with us.
I'm quite sure that's true. People with a conscience can't do it forever.

Quote:
I figured out many years ago that the best way to succeed at this job is to be truthful about the job offered, that way the driver I hire will refer more drivers to me. Ive been doing this 5 years and Im one of the top recruiters here.
I don't believe you. When you offered in another thread that JB Hunt was a "Fortune 500 Company", that was not true. The fact in the post that this is in response to, that you clearly offered, "Fact is that people in every profession lie", is an ackowledgement of sort, that you endorse lying and find it somewhat acceptable and normal.

Quote:
As far as your discription of a young college graduate being a recruiter. Not even close. Our recruiters come from many different sales backgrounds. I would say about 2/3 are college graduates. And thanks, but many of us arent that young. Me personally.....Im 41 with a BS in aviation and an MBA, with a background in investment sales.
Investment sales?....hoo boy. I guess recruiting drivers is a step up for you then....

Quote:
I tell you what....yesterday I got a PM from someone from this board. I set him up for OTR.....I am giving him permission to come out here and tell this board if anything I told him was a lie.
No user has to have your permission to post a thing. But YOU do have to have permission, in order to post on this board. And now that you have exposed the fact that you have supposedly used our membership to recruit someone, consider your privileges suspended.

Good posting Turbo, at best Me_at_JB posts had been evasive if not dirogitory towards drivers and was allowed around for educational reasons for the less experienced.

Hopefully this has helped everyone in seeing the good and the bad of the industry...
