    Thinking of taking a job with them for OTR. Are they a pretty decent company?

    Like most mega carriers.. that place is a meat grinder. Maybe they've changed... But I doubt it.

    Alright. I have to get experience though and they seem willing.

    You have to get experience somewhere. I seriously doubt they're much better or worse than alot of the companies that take on new guys. Go get in the truck and make money. Once you get experience you can afford to be choosy.

    I have no experience with them personally. But some folks have said they've had a fair run there. Also heard some bad press also. The same can be said for most larger companies though.

    I see a lot of JB Hunt intermodal running through Austin on I35. Have not heard anything good or bad about intermodal. Same with where I work, except for the recommendations here on TTR, all I hear from folks nothing good or bad about my company, and I love the gig overall. So no news could be good news.
     
    OldeSkool Thanks this.

    If you are open to other suggestions post where you live. I took a TTR recommendation from Chinatown and have done very well my first year.

    JB's reputation has much improved the past couple of years. I say, go for it.

    Last I knew they required 3 months experience so they must have some standards.
