Yes wow word of mouth is indeed powerful, I heard about these clowns and their evil practices yrs ago. Thanks for reinforcing my opinion.

You would THINK that considering the state of our industry, our nation, economy, problems world-wide 2 wars, on and on and on - we would look out for each other. We are brothers and sisters in arms RIGHT? Lets look out for each other.

I got a call yesterday on my cell from a J.B. Hunt recruiter and being in a ill mood, I wanted to have a little fun. First of all I was impressed by this person, he could talk people into the grave before they bought the plot.
First he told me on how special I was as a professional driver, a point that I never gave myself credit for or wanted attention from others. He went on to tell me that JB had two accounts, drop and hook and the money that the drivers were making each week and a promise (?), that I would get two days off for ever 7 worked. Some of his drivers would work for a month then take of 8 days. But if I was happy with my current employer's pay and home time he would understand, a dead give away on his part.
He went on to tell me that there are abount 12,000 drivers who lost there jobs because of companies that folded and now are looking for work.
I said with 12,000 out of work drivers and they are not busting down the doors of JB to get a job, and I was the only one that got your call?
I told him to give me a break and the 12,000 drivers who lost thier jobs have good common sense than to go with your company, do you think I was born yesterday? Hvae a good day then hung up.

The highest paycheck I ever saw a recruiter get was 19K for 2 weeks work. My largest paycheck was about 9K. Now, with that said, For a long time there, the base salary was minimum wage. So along with those huge paychecks, I did see some 400 dollar paychecks too. Just not that many.

BS!!! You have been spouting that stuff on here before and you know you are full of it--you were full of it before and you still are. I know at least 2 recruiters at JB Hunt and they have told me that JB is not paying anyone the type of salaries that you are talking about. Facts are that JB Hunt pays their recruiters one of the lowest salaries in the entire industry. If you dont beleive that then look it up. If you really recruit for JB, then you know that JB pays only $300 per recruit as the commisssion, and that is providing that he/she stays 90 days, if they dont it is only $50 per recruit.The average recruiter at JB is paid in the neighborhood of $60,000 per year. If you dont beleive this then look into it, I know I did.
If you honestly beleive that recruiters in this industry are getting paid $19,000 ever 2 weeks then I have a bridge in ALaska to sell you. That is almost as laughable as Swift trying to tell everyone that their top company driver(who BTW, was not a trainer) made $100,000 last year. And they wonder why all us drivers think that the company will say anything, do anything, or be anything untill it comes right down to it--then the facts say that they are really nothing but a bunch of liars. And JB Hunt reigns as the "King Supreme" in this matter, and if you are truly a recruiter there then you know this. But see it is against JB Company policy to be on this board (or any other message board) while on their clock and if you want I can hook you up with either Wayne, Craig or Kurt and let them review the rules with you if you want. Or I can send you an employees handbook, in case you lost yours. You have been "outed" so get over it.
