The Nerve of J B HUNT

TruckNMom, does JobHunt pay layover if you're sitting on a weekend? I read somewhere on this site that they don't. If that's true, then they use weekends to assign the piddling runs to drivers, as if you refused, they'd simply park you without pay for two days as a sort of 'punishment'.

 

If you don't know by now I'm on a dedicated with JB in my 4th year and was hoping on eventually getting a raise Well even though most of management say It's a raise, unless you get a perfect weekly dispatch(that means hell has frozen over) It's a pay cut. The fact that they tell me that is like saying I'm an idiot that would believe it. Right now they're messing up my miles putting me on a 50% pay reduction. I talked with my fleet mgr nice and polite and he says he'll look into it but he's not a nose to the grindstone kinda person so I don't know what the outcome will be.
I try to stay positive but this place makes it extremely difficult...... UG
keep on truckin safely

PS. thanks for giving me a spot to vent this crapola

 

And all the bustin butt and favors don't mean anything,they all go by numbers and what's on the computer. I'm guessing favors don't make it to the computer.

I dont know your situation, so I wont say what I think you should do. I will say, that if that were me, Id ask them where they want the truck parked and who do I leave the keys with. Thats not worth my time away from home. ...and your FM swears on the QC? Thats very professional.

 

Don't leave the keys on the seat and walk away just yet.

I'd first park it at a company terminal. Then I'd clean it out. After that, I'd ask 'em to send somebody from safety or the shop to the truck so we can go over it together, like a driver always should. We'd use one of the checklists either from the back of a logsheet or one the company provides. Finally, I'd take plenty of pictures.

After the truck has been turned in PROPERLY, I'd walk away from this deal.

 

your complaining because you sat so long yet you refused 2 loads.

some miles are better than none man. I worked for them and never again will i go back. But you really shouldnt whine because they gave you 2 loads that you did refuse.
