Between a union gig or JB Hunt?

I did the check out the other way. Worked for JB on a regional dedicated account. Started a bit before Covid hit.

The group I ran for was pretty solid but that may depends on what region and division you get into. You need specifics for the work group you are looking at.

We parted ways over an administrative issue. I did my DOT physical at a small med office out in the county. Corporate chose to not accept anything other than one from one of their approved clinics in one the big urban areas. I felt that those clinics were not safe at that time so I chose to move on.

Six months later they did nearly recruit me back to the job, but I chose a different local place instead. If it becomes appropriate to drive again I would still consider going back.

Seconded on DCS being a solid option if you sign onto the right account. Bridgestone out of Portland is definitely a keeper, although I was last hire for a while since we're at capacity (read: every truck is assigned to a driver)

Recent CDL grad trying to make the right choice on where to work.
I've landed a union t/t job working night shift but I’m also working with a recruiter from JB Hunt.

I'm trying to get some wisdom here on which route anyone with experience would suggest.
I read the reviews for Hunt on the forum and there wasn't anything good on there.

Is it true? Is JB Hunt not worth going OTR with?

Why did you mention JB by name and the other company as a union gig a lot of union jobs aren’t worth anything. I use to work for a mail carrier MCA it was union but you got nothing no pension health insurance was so high is why I left.
