J.B.Hunt Lease Purchase

JB HUNT has only 3 terminals where you can drop off or get a LP truck. Yes they are the worn out company trucks they sell you. I was company driver for around 3 years. Some years mileage not that great. Lately though they usually average company drivers 2,700 miles. HOWEVER they have cut everyone to about 32 cents a mile. Even people that have been with them forever so a lot of them are also hanging up the keys not just LP people.
LP people are lucky to get over 1,500 miles except for the first 3 weeks. Just because you run a bunch of miles you still probably will get a $50 check per week being LP with JB Hunt. I suggest you stay company or starve. I saw LP people dropping trucks in Atlanta every weekend. Probably as many as they sign on every week.

 

Keep up the good work. It sounds like you have a good deal working for you, and that's all that counts.

 

well you are the excepion i tried jb LP meet 3 friends there will started in june 2009 one left in two weeks i left in a month another left in 6 weeks the other one didnt have a family or house so no bills so he just recently payed his truck off because he still was not making money on a good week maybe 300 and had to much money invested took him two months and a lawyer to get a payoff he said drivers were abandoning trucks everywhere because of checks i the red and weeks with out any money i worked for a month and only made 600 so if and i mean IF you are doing so well you are one of the very few with JB

 

i would like yo know more about jb LP drop me a line when you have the time

 

I have just got my title from jb for completeing the lease purchase program.

 

Would you care to go into further detail as to how long it took, what kind of area and the type of freight you hauled, and how was the experience as far as making money and home time were. Lastly, would you do it again.

You would be doing a great service to many on this board by giving facts from someone that actually has done this, and completed the lease.

Congradulations on getting your title.

 

What happened to all that "leader of the industry" crap?

They used to brag about having the highest payscale, at .40 cpm, on up.

 

So..the day we got our title was a couple of months ago. Didn't have to watch our back. The company even took us in the boardroom and had a talk with us and wanted to know if we would like our truck painted for doing them such a good job. We agreed (who wouldn't) and now we have one of the prettiest freightliner centurys in the nation. If you would like to see pics of it just look on my facebook page or follow keystruckergal on twitter.

 

Any chance of posting photos on here???
