    I saw a JB Hunt tractor pulling a flatbed trailer. No, I did not confuse them with Hunt Transportation. Didn't realize JB had or is starting a flatbed division.

    i think the flatbed division has been around a while. i remember seeing them back in the early 90's when i started. but i really had seen them myself for a long time since then..

    ah, this is why i probably ain't seen them for a while...

    The JB Hunt tractor and trailer looked brand new. Of course, it did just come out of a Blue Beacon.

    JB does have some flats.... But most of them are dedicated local work from what I know of.


    Take my advise though.... You'd be better off at a drive thru window asking "Do you wanna biggie size that?" Stay far away from JB Hunt

    Actually, I am going to Swift and hopefully be a protege of Dick Jones. Dick doesn't know that though.

    Usually the J.B. Hunt flats I see are have something to do with Home Depot, delivering building materials.
