    JB Hunt and lease programs are usually not deemed as being good things separately. I'm not sure what you get when you put the two together, but it can't be good.

    any company fleece program really needs to be gone over with a fine tooth comb. Its not just jb its all, they are out to make money and they will.

    Indeed. Any flease I would even remotely consider are the ones were you own the truck at the end of the term for a dollar. Even then I would read the fine print 50 times.

    If you do research, Why not call JB and ask questions. What one drivers says might not be true and he might never have worked for them either. The only one to make the decision is you .

    that sucks sitting and waiting for parts. BTW JB does have an account with bull wagons, But that account is hard to get on with.

    You just told them to call you back. You never said you'd sign on with them. :)
