J.B Hunt Intermodel

Well your a newbie so bottom of the pay scale. I started lets see..... feb 2002 and in the first year I made 48500 and that was 6K more than what they told me. I never said you lie just stating something that he already knows cause to many people flap their gums and don't tell the whole story..

In 11 years I average about 54 to to 56K per year and I am home a lot. So maybe you got a bad driver manager




In 11

 

So your grossing over 700.00 a week then. Not too bad for your first year. What are you paid by the mile? How much is your P/D rate and live load/unload rate? I have been with JB intermodal for 2 years and a year and a half has been local. I'm on target to make 43,000 or more.

 

.30cpm-18.00 d/h-28.00 live load or unload.

 

Wow your D/H rate and Live L/U is a lot lower than St. Louis. I thought they all were the same other than places like CHI where traffic is bad.

 

From what the recruiter told me chi 4 state intermodal pays .42/mi no d/h or live ld pay. ave 2600/mi a week. $15/hr for delay at rail and customer after time.

 

Regional is different pay scale than local. And the pay scales vary region to region. As well as freight

 

intermodal is the higher paying of the two. but regions are all different. I noticed down in texas the starting pay is less then it was in Missouri... But I didn't have to worry about starting pay.

 

Supposedly after rich's baby is finished in haslet we are getting a raise. In what area, I don't know. I'd have to guess in mileage.

 

hopefully for you guys up the you get a little something... I am on a dcs and maxed the pay scales.. But I have no complaints...

 

Let me just call it the way it is: that pay is awful. In Harrisburg, PA our local drivers get $23 for every D/H and $43 for every live load/unload. Starting pay is 38 cents and goes up 2 cents each year. Many of the local guys are making $60-65k a year.
Reginal intermodal don't get the accessory pay but start at a higher cents per mile and many of the regional guys are hitting 3200 miles per week. I've done both local and regional intermodal. I grossed more money on local but I take home more on regional with the per diem pay option.
