J.B Hunt Intermodel

Think nothing of it. It is better to ask and find out about it than not.

I cannot think of a time that I have delivered in or around Chicago or St Paul. I have on occasion picked up in the metro areas with loads going to the Green Bay area but those are far and few between.

 

So it's pretty much pickup at railyards and head to wisconsin.

 

Pretty much yeah.

 

I really appreciate all the info u have Mon and Tuesday off are u home usually on Sunday sometime or Monday.

 

I get in Sunday afternoon/evening and head out Wed morning 8am.

 

Thanks a lot for answering all my questions.Doesn't sound like a bad gig I think I'll give it a try.

 

Hello all.

I used to run Intermodal out of Los Angeles with Schneider for awhile, however many months, not quite a year. Of course I talked to a lot of JB hunt drivers, seemed to be quite happy. I have a contact, a recruiter who's direct number I have. He's told me to keep a weekly check in with him to see if a position opens up here in Phoenix Arizona, but he said it's very rare that anything local (home daily) opens up in Phoenix. He said being outside the company that the only place I could really sign on and get immediate financial assistance for relocation would be a place called Chester New York (no thanks...).

I would really like to run Intermodal out of Phoenix, although I could probably make a move to California if I had to. Is it true that it's really hard to get on doing local intermodal work here in Phoenix? Not regional mind you, but local home daily stuff. I see a lot of the day cabs running around here. Also I was curious, if I went and bought myself a tractor to run around locally (I know they use Intermodal O/O's for local work) would it improve my chances of getting on locally?

Thanks for any tips!

 

I have the same question as davidh06 i am thinking aboout signing on with them just dont wanna get screwed over

 

There are doing orientation in green bay, talked with a recruiter today about it.

 

I'm a local intermodal driver out of st. Louis. Well of course I can't speak specifically of arizona I do know one of our drivers was going to transfer out there but there was no available positions. Their terminal there as far as intermodal is not very big as far as the amount of drivers they have from what I hear.and I know for St Louis that the outside drayage carriers that we use generally have 10 or more trucks available to us. We don't just use a single owner operator here and there. so I wouldn't put your money on a truck thinking you're just going to do owner operator work for intermodal JB Hunt. I know in St Louis at least anyway that the times when we're really slow we don't have anything available but to our drivers only. Plus you would have to have a proven safety track record that JB Hunt could look up before they would hire you on anyway as far as a drayage carrier.
