Hello From JB Hunt

Not exactly an 80k job...

More like 30k base then Commission on each driver hired. I don't know the financial situations of the people who pull those bone-headed moves.

 

I assume all the inside recruiters are the same. When one posts that a 70K salary would be a pay cut that he couldn't afford, that tells me he's making some pretty good green being a recruiter/professional liar. I guess not all recruiters have spend-happy wives. Maybe these are the guys who are being led by the ear out the door.

 

I don't know, Lady. Maybe it's just me. If I'm working for a company, I'll be biased in favor of that company. I'll never become biased against it and still be employed there. If my outfit turns into a monster, I'll be out the door in a heartbeat. I couldn't work for a company I didn't like, at least not for long.

 

I don't do agencies anyway.....headhunters suck. you have no power here. away with you, before someone drops a house on you as well!

 

It's my understanding that Craig left of his own free will.

On the other hand, I understand that 3 were fired on Tuesday.

Could also be the Hiring average that we have to sustain in order to retain employment. We're coming up again on a 10-week review (more or less, it shows who's trying, or just showing up to get a paycheck.)

 

Three fired dispatchers last Tuesday means three openings today. You should go grab one of those open slots. Put on a shirt and tie, complete with dress slacks and Guccis and go after it. Just don't change for the bad or even worse if you get it. These days I wear a dress shirt, dress slacks, nice dress shoes, and a 75-dollar tie to work, yet I still come here to post at this site. Then again, I have an elephant's memory, and I remember well the abuse I got in trucking years ago.

After reading your posts here, you seem like a pretty good ol' boy, Dude. I think you've earned your keep and your welcome. I was wrong about you. I'm glad I was wrong, too. There aren't too many folks with inside access who will rub shoulders with drivers. And you do seem to give a #### about what a driver wades into when he hires on at a company. That I can respect.

 

Maybe you need to let us know more details so we can possibly help your husband find a better job.

Where are you? Do you want to stay there?
How much experience does he have?
What long-term plan does he have?
What does he prefer, mode-wise? Reefer? Dry? Flat?

I bet there's a truck at another, better company out there near you guys that your hubby can step into tomorrow. This may not be an improvement. But it might be.
