JBHUNT Ruined my career and DAC.

Thats a tough one, Can you find another job? good Companies that are hiring are upping there minimum requirements. But with a clean MVR shouldnt be to tough.

 

clean MVR ,just been driving oilfield tanker for the last yr. and kinda got out of touch with otr co. I know one thing hurting me is an old assault charge on my DAC 7 yrs ago.
And although did not wind up a conviction (it was no more than an aurgument) it happened 1 wk after 9-11 when everyone was considered a terrorist.

 

Its youre call. I know of two small outfits here in AZ Hiring, One pulls flatbed Local, and OTR, and another is pulling an acid tanker local. There has to be companies like these 2 near you.

 

I'm sure there is, just gonna have to beat the bushs and find them.

 

Yep!! There is more out there than just the big 3. The flatbed outfit I was talkin about only has 6 trucks. The owner is my cousin. they only need one driver, I am bieng laid off the 23rd from my current job, I tried to go to work for him, and he begged insurance company, but my record is not good. But all they needed was 39 month MVR. NO DAC!! So I am Sure you can find something. as for JB, If you are hurting for work, and broke, it might be worth it, so you can get on here and post another bad thread about them!! LOL

 

I used to be a meter reader! it is a lot more difficult than you might believe. Animals, insects, poisonous snakes, angry & bellicosecal customers (mad about their bills they vent on u). Some are downright malicious & accuracy is paramount in recording. Failure of equipment, weather conditions etc. Cut the meter reader some slack! It is a tough way to make a living & there is the many miles every day of walking & body contortions required to read these things as they are not positioned with any thought about the reader. You may be doing multistory apartment building, residental neighborhoods safe & crime infested!

 

All I said is that they had hundreds of people applying for the job. So how did you go from that, to me needing to cut them some slack?

 

Thats not entirely true. In Jan of this year I was parked in a McDonalds parking lot. While I was inside getting my food an O/O backed up and plowed in my front bumper and grill causing a coolant leak and trans fluid from the trans cooler. My company told me I was not at fault for this since I was parked and logged as on break. BTW my truck is a brand new International Pro-Star, and it had 51000 miles on it when it was hit. That hurt the most.

 

Yea JB Hunt is bad in some areas, ok in others. Just one thing to tell anybody going to JB or just thinking about it. DO NOT stop for accidents. It is JB Hunts policy that you just keep going if you see an accident. If you stop YOU WILL BE FIRED. They do not like getting mixed up with it and they will TERMINATE you. It's the stupidest thing I have ever heard and you should beable to sue because you are supposed to stop as a witness but they will can you so just stay clear.
