I recently had a short time working for JB hunt and it was awful. I was told by the recruiter I would make between 900 and 1000 a week (lie). They don't pay deadhead miles unless you deadhead to get a load so what they do is tell you to deadhead to a city because they don't have loads right now then once you get there they magically found a load. I was on my first week heading to Denver and I got a call informing me a family member was in the hospital. I told JB hunt I needed to get home NOW at least for a couple hours to see what was going on..they told me they didn't have any loads going from Denver to phoenix. (########). I got the run around for 4 days before I got home...I was told by a load planner that the load getting delivered was more important than getting me home. I already decided after that I was going to turn my truck in. Your #### load is NOT more important than my family. I finally get home and on the 2nd day I got appendicitis and had to go in for emergency surgery. To cover my ### tried calling to tell them what was going on and that I wouldn't be retuning to deliver the load in phoenix but never got a response. Now at this point they still don't know I was quitting. I finally get a call back and they wanted me to return to work. I told them I have to be on light duty and no driving for 2 weeks per doctors orders. I was told I would have to quit. I said I don't want to quit I want to continue work after my recovery is done. (I know the FMLA laws and 1 year before it can be used thing). I was told I didn't qualify for FMLA and I would be classed as voluntarily quit. Once again I said "I DON'T want to quit, I had EMERGENCY SURGERY, I can't help that I got appendicitis and can't work on narcotic pain killers; you guys are going to have to wait until I recover and reissue me a tractor or fire me because I REFUSE TO QUIT because I got sick with something I have no control over.". The only response I got from that was well we are classifing you as quitting.
We need to put an end to this behavior, JB Hunt thinks they can get away with this because they are big. Let's all pool together and bring a class action lawsuit against JB Hunt. If you have evidence of JB Hunt treating you poorly and think you have a case send a brief description of what happened to you, how it has affected your life negatively as well as your city, state, name and contact info please, no addresses or personal information. When I say contact info I mean phone number or email so a lawyer will have a way to contact you.
