Prob a stupid mistake on my part :/

I remember some of your posts........Ive never seen anything decent written about JB Hunt.

Assuming your in Georgia... @Chinatown should be able to help you....

 

They lied to you. Megas are known to do that. Why not go for a local job?

 

All you can do is try to make as much as possible. It’s rare that I see a local job that pays over $1400 per week. OTR either for that matter. A few dedicated runs available now, 50-60 cpm 2600-3300 miles per week. Like you I’m looking for something that just doesn’t seem to exist. All the ads are inflated at least 20%. Can’t be believed. Same ads all the time. I’m looking for 60 hrs 5 days local work, OT after 40. I can’t find it. Probably go back OTR myself for $1700 week, working 6 days. Till I can’t stand it any longer. Best to talk to other Company Drivers before hiring in anywhere. Even then you need to weed out the BS. Unfortunately the crappy pay you mention is about the same everywhere. Companies thrive on selling the lie. They don’t want Drivers like me that know all the tricks. Rather someone that doesn’t know better. I’m in the same boat as you right now. I believed the Owners BS. Turned down 3 other jobs. Time to move on. This job served its purpose at the time, past 8 mos. Might be good in the future after I retire. But right now, I need to make as much as possible for a few more years. I’m surprised at how little amount of money I’m able to live on working local. If done right local work can pay better than OTR. Local LTL is the prize. Get in while your young.

 

Most CDL holders don't make 90k. You need to look at what the average a trucker makes.....and it's a lot less than 95k. What you must understand is that if they advertise 95k, probably less than 3 percent of the whole fleet makes that, if at all. There isn't enough freight in the world for every driver to make that kind of money. Hazmat for dry van and reefer may pay a few cents per mile more or a few dollars per hour more, but it isn't about to make you rich. Having endorsements gives you more options but not always more money. You're not doing anything wrong besides working for a company that's too #### big lol

 

JB Hunt is NOTORIOUS for lying to drivers about what positions are available (along with the associated pay). They’ve been doing it for YEARS (well over a DECADE). And it’s been well documented here by previous drivers-including some of the mods!

Right now there just isn’t enough freight to go around (too many trucks in the market).
