    If you’re worried that much about failing a drug test then I got bad news. Every single company out here worth it’s salt will drug test you, either urine test, hair follicle, or both.

    You sound like a recruiter. Probably never even sat in a truck

    As I unloaded last week next to the rail line I noticed the intermodal train go by had probably 12 to 1 ratio of JB Hunt containers compared to the others ...Swift. Schneider, UPS, etc.
    Appears they've really strengthened their position in the container field.
    Figured they must need drivers
    and w the competitive market for drivers wondered if they paid well.
    Saw an ad a while back for 92K per year and guessed that maybe that was for rail work.

    That's funny! Keep thinking that! I just really enjoyed working for them. If I didn't have my own truck now, I would go back to work for them. Have a nice day!

    I worked for J B 8 years, the last 5 years inter-modal out of Kansas City, I also enjoyed it. Low pressure, all the miles I wanted and home every weekend. I worked there til I retired eleven years ago.

    Please explain why you think they are the worst company to work for and cite your sources while you are at it. I'm nit disrespecting your opinion; I would just like to get a clear understanding from both sides.
    Thanks

    By the way, I drove for them for 2 years starting in '91. Back then, they were the best payi g, non-union company at .31cpm on their brand new hazardous waste division when everyone else was paying maybe .25 or .26cpm. Werner was paying .275cpm then.
    The drivers then were picked on mercilessly ( I guess now it's Swift's turn.)
    The driver in the NE complai g abot no raise in 2 weeks might want to inquire about their Famil Dolkar account. At this writing, I was offered .58 cpm, $100 for each trailer I pulled out of thge DC and $33./ stop. I'm still considering it. For now I'm helping out a struugling farm in AL making around $1200/week but running a hopper bottom hard throughout the states east of the Mississippi.
