    Because "we" as in "you" don't make the decisions on what subjects people are allowed to reply to, and when. While you were beating up on the guy for what your perceived to be the problem, I was out on the road.

    You've had your say, and so I decided to have mine. The issue is not as cut and dried as you tried to make it. You jumped on "Zack's" bandwagon, and we have dealt with that guy many times over that company.

    I for one, don't happen to think that the guy was lying. I've read similar complaints about JB Hunt recruiters giving drivers the thumbs-up on applications, and then having the same thing happening to other drivers, with no dishonesty on the part of the driver being in evidence.

    I want you to pay particular attention to what he offered in his original post:

    "then they called another company and started asking questions. all of the sudden i have too many tickets."

    Now that could mean alot of things, and it's understandable that you read it to mean that he tried to hide something.

    The flip side to that coin, is that the bottom line here is, that JB Hunt does not BEGIN to process an application at all, until the driver is in orientation....period. The recruiters will ask, but no check is made to confirm anything, including whether or not it is too many tickets or if it is in violation of their hiring criteria. That again, is done in orientation.

    There is a time and place to "bust" people, but please....wait until there is more evidence in place before doing it.

    You've done your time with JB...right? It's important to note that you are no longer there, and I'm sure that is for some reason of your own....correct?

    Agreed. I'm going to review his posts. Something's up with this. He's too defensive on this one issue for some reason.

    Nope. You poked fun at the company. He made the choice as to how he responded.
