I don't know....Jesus. I think you guys are hopeless. Time to fly this coop here.

No wonder trucking is so fouled. Too many drivers with memories that last about two minutes.

Yeah I drive a Swift truck
And that means one thing
It means she's slow
It's a typical company truck
It's just all show and no go

I'm gettin' passed by Yella
And even Overnite
I'm gettin' passed by ever' body in sight
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight

No, my hometown's nowhere in sight
And if you think I'm pissed off
You're right
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight


Love pissing off those trucking company insiders.

Actually, Vulc, you can thank all those JB victims that are listed here in the "Bad Company" section. Especially check the thread that now has over 100 pages. Remember those? I remember them vividly, especially the guys who were posting not long ago about being screwed around by JB mileage wise. And then there are the guys whose phones keep ringing off the hooks because JB recruiters are pestering them. These guys and their posts are the ones who set me straight, and they can set you straight, too. Go and read some of those testimonies. Hopefully, I'm not the only one who takes those seriously. Some good folks have been run into the ground by that outfit we love to hate. I respect those people. I respect them a lot more than some recruiter who comes here poking his nose around looking for new prospects. A recruiter who may have made his bacon last month on the backs of posters who have left their testimonies here today.

What you're saying here in your post is that other posters' bad experiences at JB Hunt mean nothing. Yeah, you do sound a like a "to each his own" guy. Well, there is a better way than learning the hard way. It's called paying attention. History means everything when choosing a company to work for.

If I, or anyone else here, bash JB, it's because that outfit has brought it all on itself. Go read the testimonies and see. Come back here and tell us what you find.

Again, it is no surprise trucking is chock full of problems, boy.

It was that post that kinda fired me up a little bit because you automatically threw me under the bus, to which I replied with this:

Tip, WiseOne has the ability to find my IP address. Go ahead and ask him, I'm taking the time to contact you from MY HOME on MY PERSONAL TIME. If you have a question, be decent about it, otherwise, I ain't gonna answer jack **** from you. If i'd have wanted people to contact me, i'd have thrown my phone number out there or an email address. And no, we're not clones. you only believe we're clones.

NO!!! TIP!!! HOW could you have thwarted my DARK SIDE MIND TRICK!!!!!

My Neighbor, by the way, says he's known as hockeydriver on this forum. He was my neighbor when I lived in Seligman, but hadn't had time to join this site until i got moved into the apartment in Rogers. Sure as hell beats driving 70 miles a day to work and back. Then again, when I go see my extended family in Northwestern Illinois, it's 700 Miles in 1 Day.

TIP life is made up of good times and bad times, good experiences and bad experiences. Give me a break, you don't have to be involved in trucking to know how bad JB Hunt is. when I drove 20 years ago they were bad and Schneider had just as bad a wrap as them, but Schnedier seems to have become mainstream as far as I read today. Most JB Hunt driver that like the company won't come here looking to post because thier happy with them, we only see the bad side of the company on here. I'm not defending them for what wrongs they have done but their not much different then any other company in America including non-trucking companies.

I come here to purposely hear the bad things of different companies and decide for myself like a big BOY as you call me, at which companies are the lesser of most evils.
I'll point out again try asking the JB Hunt recruiter with a civil tounge and common courtesy questions and see what you get. I'm not saying give him a pulpit but ask him straight out why they do things the way they do. Maybe he'll answer you maybe he won't that's just another way things work in this world.

Y'all think it is bad now. Wait untill the government steps in and say's it is alright for Illeagles to have a drivers license and these companies like JB Hunt get wise and train them for CDL, the wages will go down to 10 cents a mile.
All (hopefully) joking aside, there a lot of noob's that think that they should be home every other night and make $80,000.00 a year. What they should do when they come out of thier CDL school, is buy thier own truck, get thier insurance, pay for thier own authority, and run the way they want to. They could have the wife travel all over the country to wine and dine all the big shippers to get the freight, so they can make that big dollar. I know I am being sarcastic here, but in my travels across the US I have talked to many drivers from the companies so many of you dispise. Some have gripes(who dosen't) but for the most part they have a job. I have run into dispatchers in upper state New York for the company I worked for, that I would not give them the time of day. Others were OK but they had a job to do. There are bad companies out there and good companies, BUT, you have to start somwhere. So you take a little #### for a year, get your experience and move on. I drove for 22 years, and took a 10 year break. I am going back, and guess what, I am starting out at 26 cents a mile. In a year I will have my own truck, and not have to worry what someone else is going to pay me.
To sum this up I feel that expectations are too high for a lot of people.
I know I kinda got off subject here, but I feel the JB hunt recruiter should be allowed to post here, and maybe bring some insight to the complaints about his company being lodged here

Yeah, I may come off as a smart ###. But understand I respect all your opinions, although I think you guys are asleep at the keyboard.

Remember--this is a recruiter we're talking about here at one of the worst of the worst. I don't really need to hear what he has to say, as I have those 100+ pages of testimonies right here in the same section.

When I myself was an IMP at a site much like this one, many a leech would come to my site, phish for names, and then direct those folks over to another site where he could recruit. Is this going on here? Maybe. Maybe not.

Let's see how this goes. As if JB Hunt is gonna change overnight.

I have not recieved an e-mail, nor have i sent a PM. Go on, ask WiseOne. He'll tell you.

There was a song by a band called Harvey Danger made a number of years ago called "flagpole sitta". There's a line in it that makes me think of you.

AAAHHH PARANOIA, PARANOIA! EVERYBODY'S COMIN TO GET ME!!!!

He-he. Forget the personal attacks, Mr. Armchair Psychiatrist. Let's focus on the testimonies and keep it on topic. The burden is all on you, after all, along with the weight of about 10 thousand former JB drivers.

Next thing you'll be telling me is I'm imagining things and all that negative press doesn't really exist. It's all in my mind that JB is rotten to the core.

So why DOES JB suck so much, man? Shall I start quoting some of these good ol' boys' posts in the JB Hunt threads?

Tip, your statements here while largely accurate, are very misplaced.

This guy is by far NOT the one responsible for JB Hunt being a crappy place to work. The ones who are most certainly will not dignify us with their presence, because for them to do so would give US a great deal of credibility with whoever would read what they have to say. People would think that they must feel a need to defend themselves if any of JB Hunt's upper management personnel were to show up here, and that would definetly help us.
