    no its one truck, the account I am on pulls overweight loads every now and then.. That is an 8 axle unit... our usual tractor/trailers are normaly tandem tractors with triple axle trailers.

    Way too many newbies bad mouthing companies they have hardly worked for. Everybody has there ups and downs, companies would be out of business if they were that horrible. Like everyone bad mouths cr England, I started there and had no problems except an ahole DM, which is why I quit not knowing I could get a new DM if I asked to. That DM belittled and humiliated drivers all the time on the qcomm. My ex father in law drove for JB Hunt on ppg account and landed a local intermodal with them and was doing great. It is not always the company that is bad, it is the driver that is a problem child usually.

    those people are jealous and they work for small companies and they need drivers or they are gonna end up shutting down.

    I totally agree with you , I just ignore the as you said aholes.

    I just started with JB 3 weeks ago they rushed me into the job due to needing drivers for a new DCS account in York Pa (not C&S) we went through all our training for flatbed even though I have 8 yrs flatbed experience we still dont have our trucks yet, was told we will e picking them up on Monday we will be getting .42cents a mile and 33.50 a stop average 350 miles a day and 2-3 stops per trailer because they dont have our trucks ready yet we are getting paid 600 a week just to sit at home at least they are helping us due to their ######.

    Please, someone tell me the company out there that has 100 % driver satisfaction. Is there one????
    Yes, I'm a JB Hunt driver and PROUD of it. Been with the company for 7+ years now. Sure there's been a few rough spots here and there, but who doesn't go through those rough spots on their job....any job. With 15,000+ drivers, it's natural there are going to be detractors against JB. Sure there's a high turn over, but JB still gets new drivers to fill the quitters shoes. How do they do that if their rep is sooooooooooo bad? Granted, this is just my opinion...so let the backlash commence.
