My next move: JB Hunt? Woodfield? Somewhere else?

Carter Express has a terminal in Paragould.
Don't know if it's good or not. Hauls auto parts.

 

One of my drivers left in august to work for jb hunt regional because they promised him great home time and $1300 per week guaranteed ...he called me back 2 months later and asked to take him back ...his actual check was around $700 and bunch of lies ( per him ) ...

 

Only in the trucking world can you put in a 14 hour day and not have it really count if that’s when you start your days off. Lol that “two days off every week“ is likely most of the time a 34 hour reset. Meaning the minute you get back to the yard or put that truck off duty the clock starts running until you’re driving for the company again. It really is only one day off plus a few hours.

 

Couple million drivers are ok with that. No problem for me; beats sitting in an office cubicle or factory.

 

Well sometimes you get the luck of the draw and you can get back to the yard early in the afternoon on Friday and then return on Monday assuming that’s how they set it up. Most of the time you’ll get back late Friday or even Saturday and they’ll still want you back Monday morning. That’s just how it is. Or in other cases they’ll get you home with the truck but it’s still the same amount of time usually. As a rule of thumb I would say about once per month you’ll get a full two days and two nights at home. The other three weeks? Like I said it’s in the evening plus a few hours.
Now most companies will let you stay out longer if you want, and take a third or fourth day. But you’re talking about staying out 3 to 4 weeks at a time to get that.
