We are already moving jb hunt empty trailers for free when doing power only loads. Before picking up a power only load jb hunt demands owner operators pickup empty trailer hours away. And drop it where driver is picking up a loaded trailer all that for free. Same when trip is over and we do not want to take another cheap load from them. Jb requires an empty trailer to be delivered for free far away after a power only delivery. Not only is jb hunt tricking owner operators to work for free but jb rates are now between 1.30 to 1.40 per mile. Which will be less than a dollar if the free trailer moves are calculated into that. When on the other hand brokers are paying much more like 1.80 to 2.15 for power only loads. No free empty trailer moves like jb does. Better to start looking somewhere else like hire a dispacher or lease. Greedy ripoff jb hunt taking advantage of owner operators.

With jb hunt yes drivers are forced to pull free empty trailer moves for hours. Or else power only owner operators get no work. I only did a few moves I am done with jb hunt. Look at this screen shot of them paying 1.30 to 1.20 per mile. Keep in mind the bids mean nothing as jb hunt does not give what you bid. After a bid Jb hunt counter offers by 1 or 2 pennies. After the third counter offer jb hunt removes their penny counter offers. -
Go to Schneider..

On all other loads empty trailer needs to be moved for hours for free.
After driver is near the facility to pickup their first non amazon power only load. Jb hunt calls driver and says an empty must be delivered to the shipper before picking up power only load from them. Jb hunt are tricky ripoffsLast edited: May 13, 2024
