If you are attending a J.B Hunt Orientation

Evaluating isn't a bad thing! But it's nice to be forewarned and not be unprofessional when you are in the Southgate yard.

 

how is it that you're not employed by JB Hunt but yet they pay you for orientation... If they're paying you then technically by Law you're an employee.

 

Technically you are an employee, however it is At-Will. Meaning they can let you go at any time. For any reason. Same with the employee, they can leave at any time for any reason.

 

they're paying you so regardless that makes you an employee at that point

 

Thanks for the info. Its good to know that they are worse than I even imagined. I would never work for them simply on principle, Ive driven by all those intermodal trains crossing the country with those containers, each one taking a load away from a fellow driver and driving down rates for us all.

I would be curious to know what you think good money is though, for me it starts getting good around the $1500 a week range.

 

$300 a day was not hard for me to do. Home every night and weekends.
I don't consider the rail taking loads away from drivers. Most drivers these days don't want to work OTR. They want a cushy job where they can see their families. Intermodal allows this. But it's also not for everyone. They are a good company in my eyes and had very good benefits. However this is my personal opinion and not everyone will agree.

 

you went thru a lot of bs to work for the worst company in the industry.....geez!
