jb hunt watch your self when or if you work for them

Here's an idea... Buy yourself some magnents which you will place right over the top of that 1800 #. Even be sure to copy the colors, font size and font type. Route the 1800 # to your own pre-recorded message answering system. In fact, get together with some of your other friends in the business... You can all share the 1800 # cost and get someone to record a professional sounding message so that the angry 4 wheeler can leave a message and no one has to be any the wiser. Whenever you are getting ready to pull into your depot get out and remove your magnents! LOL

I Just Left These A Holes They Give You Good Loads If You Get On Your Knees If U Know What I Mean This Place Was A Joke From The Start You Basically Can Get Fired For Doing Nothing Wrong I Seen Them Do It Two Plenty Of Senior And Newbies, And Every One From The Dispatcher To Terminal Managers Have A Combined 0 Years Of Trucking Experience Stay Away From These Scumbags U Will Regret Trust Me.

 

thanks for the feed back , you are not the only one that to me that.I was going to orientation but I cancelled it and they kept calling every day sometimes leaving cranky messages...

 

I signed up cause I just had to add to this fine thread here lol.

I worked for JB 2yrs, quit for 2 yrs, then went back for 3. JB was my first company so I had no clue about trucking.

The first of the 2 years was OK, but after I learned about a stinger in the speed sensor, I had allot of fun in that old cabover. Managed to get that beast up to around 82mph. I loved the other trucker's reactions. CB:"You aint gonna believe this..." I finally quit after paying off my $2,400 JB Hunt trucking school bill, thinking DOT Foods would be better since it was near my home. I was wrong.

DOT Foods was awful. 100% driver unload at food warehouses and mutli temp, multi stop loads. The reefers had 3 units in them with moveable bulkheads to seperate the loads. Awful job so I fell back on JB after throwing my keys at DOT one day.

By now the mistakes sure are adding up quickly.

I tried to give JB benifit of the doubt. When I quit the first time they had all Cabovers. When I went back, for the most part the transition to "hoods" and a higher pay scale was complete. I thought, "It's got to be better this time."

The second (3yr)period with JB was great for the first year or so until dispatch centralized in Lowell. My FM didn't want to leave KCMO so she quit and JB really sucked then.
Several things got put in my record...

• Called in on for tailgating, go figure, a 62mph tailgater on the interstate?

• A lady brushed my truck by failing to yield right of way while entering the interstate. She got the ticket, I got a "preventable" in my company record.

• A lady called in, said I ran over a bunch of cones that flipped in the air damaging her car(an old 88 Buick). It never happened because there was no construction in that area. JB hired an adjuster, paid for her damages and placed an "incident" report in my record.

There were quite a few more things but these are the major ones I remember. It's been 9yrs since I left.

JB treats you like everyone else says they do. You're just a number and when the S hits the fan, the driver takes the fall. The 401k, the equipment and easy freight is nice but the miles vary so much it was hard to depend on them and I didn't like the way they took caller's words over the driver.

I took vacation, requested that all my vacation pay be put on my first check. When Monday came around for me to go back, I called and quit. I got hounded by their recruiters for a long time after that.

I've been researching around and I'm pretty sure I'm quitting my present awful driving job and give Smith Transport a shot. Maybe I'll post about my present company Sisbro Truck Lines out of Quincy Illinois. They stink but are great if you like old raggedy Macks.

 

I'm pretty sure there arent too many companies out there that WON'T fire anyone for a roll over..

 

That and Train vs Semi, i'm pretty #### sure most fire on the spot if you get plowed by a train.

 

Most of the time...No, they do not have any driving experience. They are trying to do what is "good for business".

 

Sorry, but "Good for Business" in a company with 14,000+ drivers isn't a valid excuse, try again.

I'd say that almost 100% of them don't have driving experience.

 

Curious dude some of these posters have stated they may be putting call ins
on their dac I hope thats not the case
as it would be slanderous and hear say.
If so thats a definite civil liabilty for jb matter of fact i wish a carrier would put one on my dac i would be laughing all the way to the bank.
Maybe its not true as i would hope its not but as a recreuiter you would know you c the dacs on rehires.

14k drivers thats alot how many drivers are hired on a per annum basis on average just your best guess, im curious

 

14k isn't accurate really, because that does not take into account most of the dedicated fleet drivers. I'd say counting Deds, you're looking at nearly 20k.

Per annum, I'd say we hire about 5k. no, really, about 5k.

The more I read UnbiasedOpnion, the more it sounds like the garbage that my "Good ol friend" Neal would spout.
