    You want to file a class action because a company gave you less miles 20 years ago? Or am I missing something?

    EDIT: didn't notice this thread is 2 years old. Shame on King for bumping it.

    Often times , it's the company.
    JB still has a bad reputation. It's hard to get rid of a reputation as bad as theirs.
    I notice JB Hunt defenders almost always blame the former drivers. Maybe they teach that in orientation.

    Company suck ups are always anti-driver, former and present. They're all lazy good for nothing free loaders, in their opinion.

    Many of those who shill for the training carriers aren't even drivers at all.

    Not if it involves physical activity. The law is written to protect driver fatigue! Something you wouldn't know driving a pneumatic armchair!

    No, JBHunt is converting to 80% Intermodal. Those of us running Long Haul as Independents pay attention to the freight trains hauling JBHunt and sister co/Schneider 53' Double Stacked Dry and Reefer Boxes. That's 1300 feet of train minimum, moving twice your load every 64'.
    They hit the Corporate Retaillers up for Contracts hauling "Dedicated" from rail yard in major city, to distribution. 40mi truck haul compared to 1,400! Not rocket science.

    Not as a company driver @ $0.41 PM. I had no choice but run 2 logs, having longest haul into Eastern AZ, Northern WY (Staples and Dahl Tile), MT(Home Depot), and Kansas(Starelite to Starlite Lake Havasu). $1.27mi plus surcharge came to $1.57 and 10 month 1099 $127,000 gross. Fuel tax and IFTA refund $17,940 after all write-offs, for adjusted NET INCOME $145,000. Mileage on truck for that period: 87,000

    I RETIRED 2011, PUBLIC RECORD SHOWS MY NEW ADDRESS, Kailua Hawaii. NET WORTH, 9.27million..also Public record. I drove 4 years! Brokered my own freight, hired 3 company drivers to move 1 truck! Avg. Lane Rate, $1.96 Temp Sensitive Produce. CARMEL CA, SALINAS CA, Nogales AZ straight to Brooklyn N.Y. with backhaul maxing 21,000 in box..Plastic storage to Steralite 1 block from my house in Havasu.

    That's smart trucking.

    You know more than most recognize. Took me 2 weeks with JBHunt to read the fine print, that's when we made a plan to buy out cash in 10 months. They did not like that at all. Wanna know what I paid for that truck? JBHunt doesn't. $51,000 Certified Cashiers Check! If I stayed the full 3, They would have paid themselves $109,000! The truck would have 700,000 Miles on it, resale value $19,640 based on 5 year market index. U retired and sold truck 2011 605, 000 Miles with Trailer for $73,000 and public record shows, New address and Net Worth 9.7Million 2012 TAX Filing, Kailua Hawaii.
