JB Hunt vs Smith Transport

Wish you and your husband well. I think you will do ok with Smith. Smith was one of the companies we were considering before going with Roehl. Keep after JB Hunt. I can give you an email address of a Mahaffey who is VP of Lease Purchase Ops. I know your husband was a company driver but believe me you send him an angry email he will forward it on.

 

keeping track of the good ones thanx all for the info.....best of luck

 

I know they have some sweet equipment. I have seen more than one driver polishing the chrome while waiting to load/unload. That indicates some pride in the company/equipment.

 

Hey Roadhog how is your husband doing so far driving for Smith? Just wondering because I am scheduled to go to orientation this next Monday.

 

Oh man, not enough miles?! Oh well I guess we can deal for that first month. I will supposedly be getting home weekly as well, how much time at home are they giving your husband? I have been out of work for 3 weeks now trying to find the right company to get with that pays well and gets home on the weekends. The small company I was with, filed bankrupcy and I guess I got spoiled to running the way I wanted, being home when I wanted and getting paid pretty well too. I had several companys on my list but it looks like Smith will be the one. Thank you for the info and I hope everything works out well for you guys. Oh yeah one more question, are they pretty good about paying to get the truck washed fairly often? Just wondering because that was one thing my last company wasn't to concerned with, I would go for a couple months without a wash at times!

 

I talked to your hubby on friday. We were in mehoopany pa. He'll do fine. Just stick with it. Its a good company that will keep you movin. I am home weekly and still do fine. There are lots of short loads sometimes but they pay pretty good. Good luck and tell him I said hi.
