    Ya...JB Hunt is back advertising they are looking for O/O to run these loads.

    They are back breaking to say the least. Trailers are packed floor to ceiling with every size, type and weight box known to man. Dog food, Kitty Litter and Snow Melt are the WORST.

    They want you to send each box down via gravity belts, but, they give you nothing to prop them up with, and, you have to build your way back into the nose of the trailer. The gravity belts are a piece of junk, with missing rollers, belts that fall apart, won't stay together.

    Speaking of trailers, the Family Dollar pool are some of the worst maintained you will find, leaking roofs, which ruins products, you'll have stuff crashing and breaking.

    As you work your way into the back of the trailer, you end up walking back and forth inside babysitting the stupid POS gravity belts that keep falling apart.

    Basically, you will do this load 1 day and be ready to quit. I was sore for 3 days.

    If you can get yourself reliable help, it isn't as bad, but, that cuts into your profits, and, unless you know them well, do you really want to sleep in the truck with some flunky?

    Idiot robbers rob the FD stores while ignoring the multi million dollar armored truck and 3 rifles twice a week at the bigger box stores on the better side of town.
