    So my question is which one of the carriers is better for an owner operator. I have done Intermodal for JB as an employee a year and a half ago until they got rid of the Chicago - WI run and got rid of the $25.00, drop and hook. I know hear from company drivers both 18 years with jb that all the good loads go to the o/o's, and the company drivers get no miles. So I need to know what the miles and pay really are at both carriers so I can make a knowledge based decision. I don't believe either companies recruiters. Thank you, in advance.

    P.s., I would take some advise about just going with CH Robinson, as well.

    Get this. They separated the WI and IA boards and there is a Chiil-WI board again. Not only that, we actually have an office in Green Bay again. They reinstated the drop pay, upped the live unload pay to $45. So couple a live unload, with a potential of detention pay, add the congestion pay.... last week, I averaged 60 cpm.
    Stick around long enough and you will see things come full circle.

    But from what I have heard is stay away from JB O/O. Not seeing as many o/o as we used to up in WI.

    If your going to go the owner operator route Hub would probably be the better bet.

    As JB Hunt is part of the Trucking Alliance bunch, I would have nothing to do with them.
