JB Hunt - Power Only program

Im not with Jb... Im going to stay put until, rates p/u. Then i am going to buy a dry van.

 

Good God no, how can anyone think of hauling for $1.46 per mile is good. It sucks period.
No disrespect to the O/P however this is why we are in this mess in the first place. One of the main reasons we are in this mess is O/O taking cheap freight. O/O should be asking a minimum of $2.00/per mile + fuel surcharge.

 

Wow, $2.00 per mile plus fsc, for dry van...Where do i sign up

 

If you are O/O and not bring home 1500 plus a week after all deductions(fuel , insurance.etc.) You may as well be a company driver!!!

 

I agree, but the reality of the current environment won't allow that rate on a consistent basis. There is quite a bit of $2/mile freight, but that usually includes the fsc. I would like to see freight rates follow a gallon of diesel fuel. If fuel costs $3/gallon, then the rate is $3/mile. It is simple and fair. Rates would go up from what they are today and wages could also go up. There would be no need for a fsc.

 

...so your next step will be?....

 

Good. Now, in addition to not getting properly compensated, you also don't have to worry about the tainted de-flowered appearance of your nice W900, contrasted with a chitty JB *unt wagon in tow....(grin)
