    Their number is 1 866 432 - 1101
    I would not expect anything more than running dispatched for an average 1.55 - 1.70 per mile up to 2300 -2500 miles per week or before your 70 is used up. If you opt for getting paid on all loaded and empty, they pay 1.30 cpm + weekly Fuel Surcharge (about 24-25 c this week).

    They also require higher GL Aggregate of 2mil. If it's not on the COI when submitting documents, they will reject your application altogether.

    It will bring some food on the table until the truck needs a major repair or a set of new tires. Then all you can do is to switch from J.B. Hunt Power Only to J.B. Hunt Driver Only.

    Anyway, my take on this is that having your own authority while owning a trailer and then going there as Power Only seems like an awful degradation to me. I could also say, half jokingly, that doing that would only affirm all these conspiracy theories that Megas with ELD mandate, expanding their fleets and recruiting all sorts of poorly trained people, created circumstances in which small carriers and the independents give in and bow to their dictate.

    Not only they want to utilize your equipment and time for lousy rates but also want your insurance and more importantly they want you to give up competing with them. The only way I feel good about hauling their loads is when I can squeeze the hell of them and the more I hear from them "I am losing on this load..." the better I feel.
    You go do power only and some schmuck will tell you what to do and where to go...Awful!
     
    Tug Toy, jlafume and gokiddogo Thank this.
