Back on the Rail with JB Hunt

I posted this on another OP's thread but it seemed worthy of posting on my own too.

The regional manager explained to me outright that they try to keep everyone pretty much even, spreading the work so there are no favorites and no stragglers. Difference in income is mileage pay for seniority and the occasional extra load for a real go getter. When freight volume goes up, everyone gets more and when it goes down less. Even contractors are kept pretty equal with other contractors based on sharing volume. Not terribly motivating.

When you think about $$ it all corresponds based on position like otr vs dedicated vs regional and local. And pretty much the same most megas. So the tradeoff is $$ vs hometime and location.

 

Absent minded much? I knew I had 3 bananas at one time but only ate 2. Finally found that other one.

 

That is always a possibility. I try to stay off that magical list.

 

See, I'm old and don't have as much go power as I used to so I wouldn't be much competition anyway, but I know my younger self would have found that demoralizing.

 

I probably shouldn't share this but I have no filter.
Did you see the New Fine Arts store billboard? It says... Wait for it.... More bang for your buck.
