new to j.b.hunt

I've hauled otr for 16 months streight,but never for j.b.hunt. They're putting me on a "controlled regional" I start orientation mon. Can anybody elaborate a little on how jb operates? Load plans, dispatch, salary, hmetme, ect......?

 

Just passed all the orientation stuff and now moved into a new truck at jb hunt. I got a new 2012 freghtliner cascadia w/22,000 miles on it and im already getting dispatched to sparks nv. Great load so far, good miles. After that I got hit a second time on the quam with another load coming back to los angeles in 3 days. so far so good....

 

Im still wondering how this jb hunt credit card works..and, I kinda like the dickies uniform shirts.

 

Wow, I was pre planned on a load to go back to so-cal...it was cancelled, now iv been waiting for a load a whole day and a half...if I dont get something by tonight I know ill sit all weekend long...very dissapointing. My load made it on time, gave accurate eta, followed the route plan, ran it streight to sparks. Now, the waiting game.....time for me to call it while im ahead.

 

Well its 23:00 pdt and j.b. hunt says there is nothing going out of Sparks NV. Thats bull. I was given a 7 mile load that was do in 3 hours, and its a live unload. I asked for extra stop pay. They said, "talk to you dispatcher on mon" ?? I cant believe it...in 6 days ive done 800 miles...

 

I created this big thing today (monday) I said "with all do respect, can please get routed home so I can quit"? Ops mngr got on the phone asked"whats the problem"? I said, the 52 hr layover" he said"we'll pay you for it" I said"well that will pretty much cover lunch,but what about my bills"? ....so, just let me know so I can figure out how to get home"!!! After being put on hold for about 20 min. They said I was going to transder to dcs out of south gate ca. Mon-fri. I said, fine.....and still got layover$$$$$$160.00 that made a nice lunch at dennys
