JB HUNT WHAT'S THE BAD & GOOD

I'm never home now normally stay out 4 mths at a time run reefer currently. So I might try it and if worst case scenario happens I can always switch to dedicated if I want.

 

Good luck switching within jb hunt

 

my ex-codriver is on the out 3 months off 1 week, makes good money. he's clearing over 1000 a week. im clearing 500 to 700 a week. I stay out 30 take 4 off. that's the way I like it. im on the 12 on 2 off. but my dm is good and doesn't care, I gave him an extra week this last time. moneys ok truck is newer. it will due for now. ive only got 7 months experience so still looks around.

 

all i can say is that i had a bad experience. i was with them for 2 weeks and never got a load or a working truck. hell the first one was filled with roaches and garbage after they claimed it was "detailed". the problem with the cleanliness is that the people they have hired to do the cleaning of the trucks do not know what they are doing and dont even have a vacuum. i had to clean the carpet with a dustpan and foxtail. then the engine died.
but some good is that my own ex codriver is having a blast there making money. and the dispatcher i had was a very nice lady.
they do need to fire the cleaning guys though. no reason rotten food should still be in the truck.

 

Been making $1500 gross weekly,running 2000 miles,on a dedicated account...why own a truck?

 

Nobody likes autos..I ask for them.
Got a truck,nearly new,23k mileage.

 

I had to borrow a truck after mine got hit in a J parking lot, they did a great job of cleaning it. but the shop wouldn't fix an air leak ? he said if it wasn't major they wouldn't fix it. but most of the shops are great, they get right on it.

 

Are you still with JB , I'm starting Monday on the intermodal out of Atlanta, .40cpm to start and work Fri-Tuesday

 

not anymore, thinking of going back to them but from my experience whatever they tell you about your job, miles, off time, pay, benefits they mean. One of the few I have worked for that stuck by what they said

 

ive been with JB for 6 months now. going very well. good miles, good pay and benefits. if you can handle a very slow truck then all is good, im going to go lease. cant stand the slow trucks
