Is JB Hunt bad to work for?

Save your self alot of problems I work for JB and you don't need to work for them jerk's

 

Avoid them like the plague. Any other TL company for that matter is usually best avoided.

 

I drove 4 weeks with JB and only had less than 3k miles in that month.. Saw more of Cash's TS in LA then anything else..

 

Having read a ton of info on this site, and having sat at the phone in the Lowell HQ, I can say this with certainty:

It depends on 1. The Job. 2. Your Income Requirement and 3. Who your dispatcher is/which dedicated you're on.

 

Well lets see, my income requirement was to make as much as I can. 2) My dispatcher was I believe her name was Christen the training DM.. 3) No dedicated, just a lot of BS from JB on how much money I was going to make...Plus the truck I had was a POS it was down more than it was up..

 

Noted that too. OTR gets hassled and noted on here more often than you see other things. If it's OTR, automatic steer clear.

Use your own judgement concerning some of the other things they tell you.

 

I agree with Mr Dude, it depends on what job you take and other factors like who is your FM.
Another thing to note. I remember sitting at the office at the first of the year and getting to find out who were the top paid drivers at JB for the previous year. The top 2 paid drivers were in two jobs where you see the most complaints from drivers. One was on the family dollar account and made a little over 90K. The other was an OTR driver.
Also I found funny that the happiest drivers who didnt complain were always on the dedicated runs that didnt pay that much...about 700 bucks a week. I couldnt ever figure it out.
I guess like any job, how much BS you are willing to put up with has a lot to do with pay.

 

Is JB HUNT A GOOD COMPANY?
