    Pretty good Mike.

    I've had probably the most miles in the past 4 weeks since I started. I think I'm around 10500 for the past 4 weeks. My FM doesn't hassle me at all and for the most part I've been getting nice weekend runs.

    I realize the economy is still in the crapper so if I have an occasional 1800mi week I won't go ballistic but honestly I haven't below 2000 since before Christmas.

    As with all trucking companies a lot depends on your FM. And sometimes they do screw up. The key is not to make a rift with him/her.

    Do your job, communicate, translo paperwork promptly, keep accurate logs and you can do all right here.

    LOL I enjoyed your saga, and the apparent punch line. I too am interested in banging my wife daily. Although for me it seems JB is the one that's going to get me laid!

    I think you explained that about as straight forward as it can get. I have been looking at the regional position being offered out of Winnfield, La. I had a old school driver tell me back around 2001 that the two best companies to work for starting out were J.B. Hunt and Schneider (I know a lot can change in 11 years). I have talked with Schneider to compare their options. When I retired from service in 2009, I received my DD214 one day then drove home and started truck driving school the next. Been in the oilfield since 2010 and am trying to get back to driving again.

    if people cant make their own decisions, that is a problem. there are people that say JB is the worst company ever but never give exact details on what happened. There will be more good comments than negative. i started for jb in feb 2002 and to this day still here. I have worked on a DCS account ever since. i have heard stories about how bad the company is but when I ask the people what happend you can see right through their story. Some people have had bad experiences but there are some who arent willling to work and refuse load.
