Ive been with jb for 3 months, getting good miles. And as you all know its up and down, I have a good DM. don't often have to go on an mt search. All miles east of I35. Don't like the 62 mph trucks and the way they neuter all the power out of them. Or the radar systems that they keep a close eye on. But the truck is only a year old, when I got it it had just over 100k miles. Cascadia with a 1200 watt inverter. free satalite radio. ive only driven cascadias, but this one is a step above what I drove at CRST, seats are better, rides smoother. all in all not a bad place, when I get better at backing im going to try an get on with the intermodal side. better money from what ive heard. any questions please ask, but it might take me awhile to answer. oh im supposed to stay out 12 and off 2, nut I stay out 30 and off 4. but that's because I like it that way.

jb hunt is so huge, and which division you can make you or break you.
The drivers pay is controlled by the account manager (dcs) or terminal mananger/director (intermodal).
For example: The dcs account I worked out of, the drivers actually got a pay cut when they got a new account manager.
For intermodal terminals, they all pay different. The yard I worked out of paid .375 mile, 26.25 drop and hook and 40.25 for live load.
chicago pays more than that and san bernadino actually pays less.
Also, while smaller trucking companies, dispatchers and other office folks might be former drivers, most office staff at jb hunt have never seen the inside of a tractor.
There are some hard working managers but at the same time most of the office staff jb hires has zero prior transportation/trucking experience.Night Prowler, rabbiporkchop and matt1502 Thank this. -
