new to j.b.hunt

honestly i do On 64 west of 81 its only one descent i really use the jake on and thats the crossing of the highest mountain. All the rest i just let it run because for the most part you'll run down for a mile and go back up there isnt to much risk of running away, Ofcoourse at night i wont do it because i cant see all of the road but during the day when i can see all the way down and ill let it go, getting up to 70-75 is nice lol

 

Thats my turf intermodal, Are you running intermodal out of chicago they tell us as far as freight volume chicago is number one so you should have a ball up there

 

So, the Siriusxm deal is just on the Internationals?

Anyways, hope you all listen to the road dog. Lots of good information on there.

Anyways, I don't know how the owner-ops get by up here doing Chicago, though. If you run day/night, either way you're going to be running into morning or afternoon traffic. It gets brutal sometimes. Took me an hour just to get out of the rail on 7600 Western Ave back to I-55.

I'm lucky I got down to Romeoville with 15 minutes to spare, and 55 was stop and go the whole way down. And that Gas City in Romeoville was taken over by those Speedway pricks. Don't allow truck parking anymore. Lucky I could park on the Prologis Parkway at the shipper or I would have been screwed.

 

Who would guess that jb hunt trucks have inverter units, sirius xm radio, ez pass, prepass...how nice to have all those things.

 

Im driving for schneider right now but im ready for a new job now schneiders good but there trucks are junk thinking about trying jb hunt out.

 

try inter-modal we have junk to, (the remaining centuries) but intermodal has mostly Cascadias and prostars now with a sprinkling of cents still out there

 

I was on a dedicated account for J.B. back in 2007. We had it good on that account and always had loads waiting when we got back to the terminal. I was working in upstate NY and I am originally from S. Tx and I wanted to go home for a week long vacation. J.B. had no problem with that and they put me on OTR status to get me loads down to Tx and back. I didn't like OTR at all. I had to wait a long time for loads and they routed me in kind of an odd way to get to and from there. I guess you have to go where the freight is but I never did that again. J.B. is good on dedicated accounts but I've heard bad things about the OTR division. The lady that I was talking to to get loads didn't work for J.B.. I don't even know who she was. Some sort of 3rd party dispatcher or something.

 

Otr is the wrong way to go at JB they are trying to get rid of it all together
