JB Hunt Cancelled the load good or bad

Why do you keep going back and calling JB Hunt if they continually dink you around? Just quit doing business with them. You may be surprised at many of the smaller brokerages/carriers who are looking to do business with small trucking companies just like you who can provide the highest level of service and communicate, deliver it on time without any problems.

 

The fatal error that you keep making is to let the broker dictate the rate, are you asking them for their rate? If so, stop doing this. Determine what your rate is prior to calling them, and when you call and they give you the load details be prepared to quote them YOUR rate, whatever you do, don't ask them for the rate....

 

Yep. JB has been on my "no loads" list for 4-5 years. Seems like it was always something, either detention they didn't want to pay or a problem at the shipper they didn't want to hear about and on and on. Some companies are just more trouble than they're worth, JB is one of them in my book. Figure out who the PITA customers are early on in your career and don't work with them, you'll be thousands of dollars ahead in the long run.

 

You've been in business for 5 years and still need a broker to advance you money to do a load? If your friends aren't having any trouble why don't you sign on under their authority, let them get the high rate and you take say 85% of it, which sounds like it would be more than your constant never ending problems on your own. I think maybe you just enjoy the pain a little too much ...
