JB HUNT uses 3rd party telemarketing for recruiting.

NO NO NO
Find a company that doesnt HAVE to recruit.. You talk straight to the safty department or terminal manager not someone who is paid on a commision if you get hired or not....Cant state it any more easier for you to understand...IF they have a recruiter MOVE ON

 

ALSO, where does it say anything about cutting fleet by half??? Or most drivers having temp. alien cards??? Are you a truck driver or an internal investigator?

 

Calm down, I know. Thats what smiley face was for.

 

JB is not the only company that does this. The reason companies use 3rd party recruiters is because the people in their office now are called "processors". They use 3rd party to gather all the information about a driver and then submit to JB via 3-way call to the processor. The processor then takes all the information for the applicant. So, the "recruiter" only pre-qualifies the driver. In other situations where companies use 3rd party is, the recruiter takes all the information for the application. That recruiter is only given the information that the company wants them to have. All the recruiter is pretty much given is the pay rate in a sliding scale. (Between 34 cpm to 42cpm, for example) they are also given what they can take from a driver through a qualification sheet. If those qualifications don't match the sheet, they don't get hired. There's a lot more to being a 3rd party recruiter than you know. The 3rd party recruiter also does not get paid until that driver actually pulls his/her first load from the yard. The hire 3rd party recruiters so their company people can do other things in the office. In other words, 3rd parties do most of the work so the app's can pretty much go straight to safety for approval.

 

So on Craigslist and the internet ads why do the 3rd party Recruiters not say who they are recruiting for are they that ashamed of the company?

 

Thanks Lady T. It appears the OP just has a grudge against JB like so many others do. I hate grudge rants. Especially when its filled with misinformation or things somebody thinks they read or heard. I really don't care how they choose to bring a driver aboard, your good driving and personal record will get you the job.

JB may not be perfect but they have changed..and for the better. Many happy intermodal and DCS drivers.

 

It's in the contract to not advertise their names.

 

a lot of larger companies do this. SNI did it for a dedicated fleet I drove for. The guy was pretty nice and upfront about it. It's up to a person to ask the recruiter if he/she is in house or not and if they are working on a commission, have they ever driven etc..

 

Not based on my experience with them. You can find guys happy to be in prison also.

 

Whatever they are now, they're a heck of a lot better than 10 years ago when they were running all over the place with drivers who looked liked they were fished out of a dumpster, and drove like it too!!
