    Just about like clock work JB Hunt calls our house and wants to offer DH a job....the first zillion times I was polite and when one of the guys offered to put me thru to a different area where our number could/would be removed from their system I put up with another 10 minutes on the line getting that done.....STILL they call. I have told them DH is employed and will not drive for them....STILL they call.....They call to offer him a lease, they call to offer him otr......and when I tell them NOT to call again they just laugh and say well it's not illegal and we will call again...and they do at least 3 times a week. The last time they called, yesterday I very calmly told the man on the other end that DH was NOT interested, and that we were requesting once again they quit calling....again I was put thru to the people that are supposed to take our info off their system and not 5 minutes later.....they called again. This time I told them I was going to start recording everytime they called and turn them in for harassment....this guy just laughed and said they could call me 10 times aday if they wanted. I am at my wits end with these people...any suggestions??? :evil:

    They did basicaly the same thing to me. What I did was I told them that I am now working on an account that you lost ( GP Toledo Oregon) and that I know of at least two other accounts that you lost recently in the region, so were are you going to put me to work at? When there was no answer I hung up and if I had a call from with an area code from the area ( I have caller ID) I hung up and if they snuck one through on me, as soon as they id'd rhem self as from JB I would say I'm not interested and hung up. They finaly got the message and stopped calling.

    Tell them he was arrested for a DUI.

    When I got tired of MCI calling me I told them I was the VP of AT&T.

    Ask him of he's been born again; offer to pray with him.

    Invite him to come to town and take you both out to dinner.

    Ask him if he can hold a minute. Then put the phone down and go sit on the porch.

    Ask him if this is a joke because hubby was killed last week.

    They call me all the time too. Last one was for a 52k a year job. Absolute BS in my opinion.

    For all you people that still have a modem installed in your computer, but have evolved to using high speed, I have a nice use for that modem, and it is a solution to your problem. I use it religiously, and it works GREAT!! It's easy to add numbers to be blocked.

    Yep....somehow, JB Hunt had mine as well, and they are relentless once they get a driver's number for hounding the crap out of them...
