    I work for jb hunt a lot of what he said is true and if you seen the places they send you in the winter. The stores have the snow plowed right in front of the docks. Docks that even without snow are so tight your inches away from hitting a wall or a trailer.

    I drive for jb and that bald tire pic is just plain embarrassing. And I know for sure I wouldn't be caught driving on it. Is that tire even DOT compliant?

    That's the c an s account. The 1st 2 pictures are from a store in ct i think its off of 95 exit 33. That store is no joke and there are plenty that are worse then that. The tires and trucks are poorly maintained since there are no shops except outside vendors and the account managers are more concerned with their budget then safe equipment

    Yup c&s newburgh. The tires were worst is the winter and that's just the tires. Oh yea there are stores much harder than that . Bronx you have to back from the st and they plow snow in front of that dock too

    is that bald tire even on a JB truck ? I would never drive like that cause it is a safety issue.

    On this C&S account, are the trucks JB freightliner/international trucks or are they hold overs from what C&S drove before JB took over?

    When I left that account in newburgh in February of 2014 newburgh had all jb hunt prostar's and a few that came from a home depot account. There was only 1 freightliner. The guy that runs that account now is a penny pinching ahole. Name is Derek. But like I said before everything gets taken to outside vendors so it costs more money and the almighty dollar is more important.
