I am a driver offered a job with JB Hunt but have heard they are not to good to drive for? Anyone out there have any experience on this?
I went to Chicago for orientation, only to be sent home because they needed a Dr. letter explaining that I am not on medications anymore as a result of an accident I was in.
Now that I have provided that they would like me to go back to Chicago on a Greyhound again for orientation and if this company is bad I dont want to waste my time.
I am looking for a good company to drive for. Please let me know your thoughts!

Start reading here. Should give you enough information to make your decision. -
Save your self alot of problems I work for JB and you don't need to work for them jerk's
-
Avoid them like the plague. Any other TL company for that matter is usually best avoided.

I drove 4 weeks with JB and only had less than 3k miles in that month.. Saw more of Cash's TS in LA then anything else..

Having read a ton of info on this site, and having sat at the phone in the Lowell HQ, I can say this with certainty:
It depends on 1. The Job. 2. Your Income Requirement and 3. Who your dispatcher is/which dedicated you're on. -
Well lets see, my income requirement was to make as much as I can. 2) My dispatcher was I believe her name was Christen the training DM.. 3) No dedicated, just a lot of BS from JB on how much money I was going to make...Plus the truck I had was a POS it was down more than it was up..
-
Use your own judgement concerning some of the other things they tell you. -
I agree with Mr Dude, it depends on what job you take and other factors like who is your FM.
Another thing to note. I remember sitting at the office at the first of the year and getting to find out who were the top paid drivers at JB for the previous year. The top 2 paid drivers were in two jobs where you see the most complaints from drivers. One was on the family dollar account and made a little over 90K. The other was an OTR driver.
Also I found funny that the happiest drivers who didnt complain were always on the dedicated runs that didnt pay that much...about 700 bucks a week. I couldnt ever figure it out.
I guess like any job, how much BS you are willing to put up with has a lot to do with pay. -
