    It is. Both times I left was because I moved, not dissatisfied with JB. Buying my house now so probably stay with JB until I stop driving for a living, God willing.

    Congratulations on your new home , please don’t drive so much that you are never there.
    Unfortunately I left Hunt because I was dissatisfied but only for 1 reason. I was very happy there until they gave me a new fleet manager that I thought was a nut case. After I left they told me why didn’t you just tell us ? We could have given you a new fleet manager. Oh well live and learn. It turned out well in the end because the job I have now I love. Most likely will be here until I stop driving and then still won’t leave , will move inside to a desk job that is how much I like it where I’m at now. Glad to see your happy and where you want to be.

    Yep I bought a few over the years for the same reason. An inconvenience for a lot of convenience.

    My friend had a local home everynite job with JB. They liked the company, but hated the underpowered trucks, only quit because of a move.

    Whatever happens, don't let Goat screw this up, we know how he is! Keep a tight rein on him....

    Back in the truck after 2 days off. Gonna sleep in it so I'm ready to roll in the morning. It's an entirely different event loading for 5 days instead of 10 or 12 weeks.

    JB is still big on there 5 days work 2 days off program ?

    I guess I'm the weird one in trucking. When I was at Hunt I could handle 1 day at home and 6 on the road but when they went to 2 days at home and 5 days on the road I felt like it was to much of a job and to little of trucking. Ya I know I'm weird I would rather work then stay home.
