JB Hunt PPG Dedicated

I drove for J.B. Hunt doing southeast regional. I would never go back to JB doing regional or OTR. If I had a job offer from them on a dedicated acct or intermodal I would definitely take it. All the intermodal driver I ever talked to were happy but I could never get on doing that b/c there was a waiting list on that or they only hired at the beginning of the year.

 

roadkill: Good to see you switch. When I was behind the desk, I looked at all these jobs come up on a screen.

There's a good chance I know the "Nathan" you speak of on PPG (I used to work with him in recruiting, he's a short little mexican ****** who probably wets his bed at night)

 

I can't remember his name from when I was there but we always knew who he was. But maybe something happened and they decided to change that to. A couple of FM were threatened so maybe he was to and they were doing this to protect him or her.

 

When I was at Target we had a handful of "load planners" that I knew by name who worked out of the Corporate offices in Lowell.

There may be some accounts that have a "load planner" that works in the onsite office of an account such as Home Depot or Family Dollar out of Winchester, Va.

In Lowell they are actually called marketing reps or account reps...not necessarily load planners. Anyway, that's just my two cents worth!

 

Not sure,was thinking about going to thePPG account but after reading this I don't know. Anyone still working their now?

 

If you go to jb hunt i guarentee you will fail. Not because you're a bad driver but for the simple fact that the drivers are at the bottom of the barrel in that bottom feeder company!

 

Where are the main plants?
Thinking of transfering over, but manager says its out of Pittsburgh.
I know they' re corporate office is there, I hope I dont need to pickup there...worst design ever..for city driving.
Thanks.
