New CDL grad. I'm about to head off to Schneider to start my OTR career. But I see JB Hunt is also hiring in my area.
Pros for JB Hunt
The only con is they require 3 months experience. I could join a beverage company for 3 months then switch. I hate to company hop but if it's the best strategy for my career I will do it.
- Annual salary is 30k more than Schneider, so they say...
- Terminal is very close to my home. Schneider terminal is an hour away.
- Lots of jobs from OTR, regional or home daily.
Is JB Hunt much better than Schneider?
JB Hunt or Schneider?

somewhere deep into that sales pitch, will be something like, "last year our highest earning driver made1 million dollars, so can you"!!
it's all in how much YOU apply yourself to MAKE that kind of money...
and if there ain't no loads, you're sitting like every other newbie driver.jsnell, John Joel Glanton and slim shady Thank this. -
JB Hunt is also offering a 10k sign on bonus plus the higher salary.
3 months experience is such an awkward amount of time. I hate to quit some place after 3 months.nredfor88 Thanks this. -
