    got a job with JB hunt but having second thoughts first they said i would be doing training on inter module with a trainer and getting motel room at end of day and said it would take 2 to 3 days at 75.00 a day talked with them yesterday and said now it will be about 5 days and running team. I don't run team with no body. talked with Kimberly at ACT and told her about other job and asked her to keep door open in case JB doesn't pan out. she said she would. was suppose to start with ACT march 5th. the reason i took job with JB was because it would be running 5 days and home 2 days, that sounded pretty good but like i said im having 2nd thoughts. suppose to start with JB march 5th. im a company driver and still would be at ACT. Just writing this to read your opinions

    Just my opinion but it seems to me the bigger the company the more they lie. Not sure if its on purpose just to fill trucks or if its just they don't know but I refuse to work for a company over 1k trucks.
     
    tbone53 Thanks this.
