Ok been here 3 months on a dcs family dollar account and here is my take.
JB Hunt treats me great honestly, the fm's are cool and helpful and they pay me what they promised($1,050 base a week if I get 3 trailers empty but I make more honestly but have had things come up and still made $1050 even though I didn't really earn it). The benefits are like everywhere else sense suck ### obamacare started but they company is honestly just a middleman on the cost so I hold no ill will.
The trucks are slow and have no power but are new and reliable thus far. Trailers belong to family dollar but are ok. I am truely ok with JB Hunt, they treat me good.
Now as far as the account goes I can only say one thing about it. It's terrible. I am physically fit, 5'8 and 180 pounds and its running me and my body in to the ground. The way the dc loads the trailers is ridiculous and there is 0 accountability for their actions. Alot of the store employees/managers are lazy and slow at unloading with no regard to your appointments and schedule.
I am not lazy nor shy of hard work but I detest people making my job harder to do or making it take longer out of laziness. I am the type that feels I have a job and put in 110% and my blood boils when others slack with no accountability so I think that is why I hate it.
So in my eyes JB Hunt gets a big thumbs up. The Family Dollar account sucks though. I will answer any questions I can to my best abilities, completely unbias
My opinion on JB

Glad to hear you're on a good account with a good account manager. Not all accounts are equal, some are run by penny pinchers who cut pay and don't compensate their drivers fair
horsecrazychic22 Thanks this. -
Yea. That's why I hate to leave it. But being so tired on my off time that I find it hard to play with my kids plus the numorous bruises on my legs from boxes falling sucks
horsecrazychic22 Thanks this. -
They always treated me good too. I never touched a single thing in almost 2 years.
Now the last place I was leased onto as an O/O, I touched more than my fair share, and a lot of it was heavy. I'm 6' / 200 and there were several places a bunch of young men knew an old man was going to whoop someone's ###.
Same as you, by the time people get done arguing, him hawing around, blah blah, whatever, there man, there's ur stuff, just using a pallet jack. I got to go, you guys still be arguing about who gonna unload the truck while I'm being reloaded or clearing the city limits.horsecrazychic22 Thanks this. -
Stick it out and switch accounts? I think you only need 6 months then you can switch.
I did the family dollar account 1 time and told my manager to not send me back lmao -
I made a good chunk of change doing power only work for JB

Don't just quit. Find out if you can transfer to another account.

You should try Intermodal. It's pretty easy.
Md420 Thanks this. -
Get away from Family Dollar. The rest of it I take with a grain of salt, I ran for JB once for a month, but wife said my place or hit the road, classic ultimatum. So I went home. I continued to recieve calls from JB for years until I explained to them that my disbalitys made sure I cannot get a medical card.

Think I am going over to master brands account
