    I have little experience driving big rigs. Have my haz, and tanker endorsements. Would J.B. Hunt train me more and would they be a good company to get on with for a new driver or could someone recommend another company for new drivers? Thanks.

    Plenty of good companies to choose from.
    Where is your location; state & nearest city. Need this info so we know the hiring area you live in.
    Did you graduate from a cdl school?
    Your age; are you over 21, 22 23?

    I think jb requires 3 or 6 months exp.Far as I know they do not train.There has been many complaints about JB so I would say you can do better.

    What type training are you wanting? You already have your cdl; does your present company have their own cdl school or did you get the cdl by on-the-job-training?
    There's lots to choose from in Texas.

    Depends, I'm with jb. What part of texas? I'm getting out of trucking. But I would suggest a company with a terminal in your area. Seems to make repairs easier. If your set on jb and in the Dallas area I can recommend some dcs accounts. If your a vet, they will train now I believe.
     
    AK357 Thanks this.
