    Oh, please. Pulling loads across the hills comes with the territory. Sooner or later we all have to do it. The important thing is knowing how to come down that hill without killing yourself.

    That would make sense, but as long as the 40,00 didn't put he over his gross or axel weight. He would have rightly been charged with a load refusal or a service failure. I believe that JB Hun's policy is that if you refuse a load without good reason, you can and most likely will be fired. If he had bad breaks he should have called the main shop and explained the situation. They most likely would have told him to pick up the load to prevent a service failure from happening. They then would have relayed the load, and sent him to the nearest shop. I too had some problems with JB Hunt, but maintence or bad equipment wasn't one of them. I hauled heavy loads for JB all the time. They haul a lot of beer, and paper rolls. Both of these type loads came out of plants in Virginia, which required mounting driving. It's just the nature of the beast.

    I heard a story once that they fired a muslim driver for refusing a load of beer. Apparently in Islam you are forbidden to have any contact with alcohol.

    If you put misleading information on one of those boards, and state that you represent 30 or 40 companies, and you don’t! That is false advertising if not flat out fraud. It may be punishable under the law. In fact if its not against the law it is down-right dishonest. Who would want to work for a company that lies to you right off the bat just to get your phone number.
     
  6. i dunno where to begin saying as i know he is banned IF YOUR COMPANY DOES NOT HARASS PEOPLE THEN WHATS THE POINT IN EVEN HAVING A REMOVAL "TEAM" kinda tells you right there they know they do it secondly i had good ole jb calling me a while ago as they put it i was a prime candidate and thats why they called so much i eventaully did go through the removal process which is a joke in itself because they will still call the way i got removed was to tell them that i had 2 duis and i was a felon that worked wonders they have not called since

    Ok I was going to stay out of this one but I can't. As far as im concerned Rectuters, Lawyers, and Used car sailsmen are all the same in my book.

    It's pretty bad that you have to hire one to get rid of the other most of the time.

    Gee I guess 2 wrongs do make a right ! I thought only 3 lefts did. :happy3:

    I don't believe anyone said you did. We just know what we have experienced over the years. Don't take it so personal, or do you have a guilty conscience.

    At JB Hunt that's one of the fastest ways to get promoted. Especially if your a fleet manager, or load planner.

    Right and I have a bridge on some prime land in the middle of the Sahara Desert that I'll sell you cheap.

    Then you are way outnumbered prob. 20/1

    I am an ex JB driver, they are sneaky about the way they short your miles too. The will put you on back-to-back 200 and 300 mile loads. While they put the 900 - 1500 ml loads on the rail. It happens every day at JB Hunt. The problem with the 200 and 300-mile loads is that they burn up your logbook. They also chew up your 14 hr rule. I asked my FM one time why we keep taking these BS loads her answer was they pay good. "PAY GOOD FOR WHO" I sure as **** wasn’t making any money off of them. O and don't get stuck at the NJ terminal on Monday morning either. You will wind up delivering one or two loads that other people have dropped over the weekend. Then they will give you a load out of their maybe.
     
  10. well do tell man i mean other than shorting your miles what all did they do to you
