JB HUNT OTR?

Dedicated pays $200 guaranteed daily,plus accessory pay.
Otr is lots of live loads,heavy stuff,and short runs.

 

Sounds like the "Will Run" position. Talked to a couple of those cats at the lunch counter here and there and none of them had anything good to say about it. Around 2000 miles per week, lots of sitting around for free and they always find some way to keep that hometime pay. Do what you want but id run away screaming bloody murder if i were you.

 

I didn't think JBH ran OTR trucks anymore........all I see are on the rails and DCL trucks

 

Jb hunt got out of long haul truckload a long time ago .

 

Sounds like to me you will be doing NE regional with an occasional load to stretch your legs. But then no loads to get you back to thier freight lanes.

 

More than not you will be running parts into Ford at Buffalo like I did with JBH. I only ran with them several weeks. The only two freights worth doing OTR was auto parts or beer from St Louis. The rest of it was eh... so so. But keep in mind this was a experiment after 9-11 at the time and and in a cab over too. Which I warned them against.

I was out of NLR Prothro I-40 and dispatcher was in Fayetteville. I will say that dispatcher was what a dispatcher oughta be. One of the top three ever as far as I am concerned. I'll run into hell itself for him.

But as a overall experience with the Company? HA... the incessant training was make work Hamster wheel BS. But it did keep the drivers from sitting around telling tall stories too much. And that stupid smith road test in a mini van? Come on break my balls why don't you. Having 7 people give me a hard time driving them around town. HA. That was interesting.

It was strictly a experiment. I left within three weeks after taking out yet another car HA.... and you know, they kept calling me back every three months for years. I must have made a impression. But I refuse to believe that for a second. Otherwise I would not be able to get over myself.
