JBHUNT Ruined my career and DAC.

Sorry to hear what jbhunt did to you. Schneider screwed me like that after I got injured. Now here I am 3 years later I went through trucking school again and I can't find anyone to pick me up. Anyone got any ideas where I can find a company that will give me a chance.

 

omg. sorry to hear all these stories guys, hope things get better for you in the future. this is unfortunate.

 

crusher, ive only been driving a few years and i worked for jb. i liked jb untill the asked me to re-certify and when i passed they terminated me. to answer your question different driver expect different things from the trucking company they work for. some want more miles, or more hometime, or better equptment. its all trial and error. good luck. grouchy

 

jb hunt sure screwed my career up as well. they said i abandoned the truck under a load when actually i turned the truck in with and empty trailer. i was a lease operator and refused a load and drove to louisville and turned it in because i had sat for 9 days out of the last 3 weeks i was with them. my weekly miles average was about 1500. i drive a rock bucket for a ready mis company now and make more than i did with jb and i am at home every night and off on weekends. you might try ro contact OOIDA to see if they can help you in any way. drivers need someone on their side to cambat these sorry companies.

 

Truth is guys, an accident is an accident in the trucking world. You did it you yourself. Did anyone MAKE you hit anything? Was it preventable by you just getting out and looking? Being a "pro" isn't taking chances.

 

ya jbhunts safety dept is whacked .....had someone call in said i hit a stop sign ....it was alleady down when i got to the off ramp and i had a new xtralease trailer without a scratch on it but it still made it on my dac as struck stationary object should have left then but in a road closure in n.c they were flighting injured parties out after three hours i parked on an offramp with 4 trucks in front and quite a few behind we were all about 3 feet on right side of the painted line i got hit by a four wheeler who bounced off the dot bumper and drove off .....had to have bumper welded back on .....was listed by them as a preventable accident .....even though was not cited by trooper ......most carriers i went to after that still considered that non preventable no matter what the dac said wouldn;t touch jb with a ten foot pole now

 

15,000 trucks
40,000 trailers
$4,000,000,000/yr revenue
A number of drivers with 2mil, 3mil and even 4mil safe miles

Must be doing something right. Been out here since 02, and last 8 months has been with JB. Right attitude + right skills = this is a good company to work for.

But don't take my word for it. I've only been in the trucking industry over all since I could walk and have pulled vans/flats/doubles/reefer/intermodal for companies large and small in my 10 years of driving. I probably don't know what i'm talking about, but I'll be with JB until I retire if I can help it.

 

Stop working for these bfi scums work for the small companies make more money and get treated better plus your helping the industry out by not working for them

 

You've never rubbed up against something? You will. It happens. It is not an accident. JB defined it as an accident. They are the ones losing out. It was merely a learning experience. That ole boy will find a good job. Shoot, I got one just down the street. I just dropped by and filled out an application. Luck will find him.

 

How's their driver turn over rate ?
