The Nerve of J B HUNT

Both of you are right, but JoBHunt, just like all the other carriers, tries to fleece its fleece drivers by sticking them with more expenses than they should. The piddling runs are short and it is probably not profitable to take them. But this is the very reason a fleece driver should expect to be forced to take such loads.

Fleece drivers are set up to fail in the fleece operator deals. Companies know the odds are stacked WAY against the fleece driver, meaning those drivers will probably fail eventually, no matter how the fleece drivers are treated. Treat the fleece drivers well today, and a month from now the fleece drivers go broke. Take advantage of the fleece drivers today and those drivers go broke next week. But a profit is made, which is the number one priority. A company would be playing the fool if it treated the fleece drivers with kids' gloves. By allowing them to refuse loads, a company would be catering to a fleece driver's wants, which will probably mean less profit. Not every load can be a coast-to-coast cherry run.

When it comes to the fleece fleet, the masters simply take advantage and cause a situation to happen sooner that will probably happen later with each and every fleece driver. What ARE the odds a fleece driver will complete his fleece deal? It's long, no doubt. By causing the eventuality to occur sooner through careful, guile planning, a company can profit from the train wreck that eventually comes no matter what.

 

Mom, that is one looonnnngggg sentence. I don't think I'd refuse anymore loads, really. Call it Karma. Take the garbage today, and tomorrow you get the jewel. It's like going to New York City--the best part about going there is you get leave it on your next run.

Good luck to you.

 

No doubt, kinda tough to read....

 

man they call me all the time .you can tell right away there a recretor from jbhunt . they say they have a job opening that pays big money dedicated account $1200 a week guarantied ,. but they wont say who there with unless they talk to you person.the last time they called me i listened to his speech of making $1200 a week ,then i picked up the phone i said your from jb hunt right he said yell . i said well the money sounds good how about send me a letter saying i will make $1200 a week guarentied he said oh i cant do that well you say it guarentied send it in writing and ill think a bout it well he said he'd get back with me on it .never her ad a word again from that rep. they will tell you any thing to get there comision .so if they call you just ask to have them send it to you ,its the easyest way to keep them off your back . when i was putting application out i bet i had 25 of them call me and they always had that little rap down they figure once they have you doing the 3 day orientation that enough drivers will go ahead and try out the company saying they cant be all that bad ,its a beginners trucking company just like swift as long as they can get enough beginners who don't no better they will make out like a fat rat .say away from those companies are you will lose your ### I'm money that you will never see.

 

The reason they do this is drivers let them get away with it. Some people (dangerous voters) raise such a stink about harrassing phone calls Congress takes action and passes the "do not call" laws. Truck drivers should do the same thing. If you get a recruiter from JoBHunt or who is affiliate of JobHunt pestering you, call up your attorney general's office and report it. You had 25 of 'em call you up? They must have believed you were push-over type who'd put up with it.

Let 'em call me ONCE and see what happens.

 

All I can say is JB Hunt is famous for this.

 

I had my experience with Jb Hunt myself . They called me everyday for #### near a year. I got a call promising a run from Dallas to Ok city and back 3 times a week so since I was layed off because of another G.M. shut down I thought I would give it a shot. I get there I do there physical drug screen ect everything for the first day. Then I get told that the position I am there for is full that I would have go OTR ! Yea not happening! So thats it 1 day. They still called me everyday!! I had to change my phone number. I will say they have nice recruiters there just full of it ...Has anyone had good experiences with Jb? I would love to hear some?

 

Just for the sake of clarity, here's an explanation of the basics of the National Do Not Call Registry rules, taken vebatim from the Registry web site. Emphasis in the body of the text is mine. The site is at https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

Needless to say, any requests for a company to stop calling should be made in writing - for the sake of later litigation. Paper trail is a lot harder to ignore than "stop calling me" on the phone.

Keep accurate records. Include date request to halt contact was made, when it was received by the company, and the date and time of every call thereafter.

If their calls are coming after the 3-month grace period, get in their face about it and file a complaint.

(of course, this pre-supposes you've registered, and allowed the 31-day waiting period to pass)

1. My number is on the National Do Not Call Registry. After I bought something from a company, a telemarketer representing that organization called me. Is this a violation? No. By purchasing something from the company, you established a business relationship with the company. As a result, even if you put your number on the National Do Not Call Registry, that company may call you for up to 18 months after your last purchase or delivery from it, or your last payment to it, unless you ask the company not to call again. In that case, the company must honor your request not to call. If they subsequently call you again, they may be subject to a fine of up to $11,000.
   An established business relationship with a company also will be created if you make an inquiry to the company, or submit an application to it. This kind of established business relationship exists for three months after the inquiry or application. During this time, the company can call you.
   If you make a specific request to that company not to call you, however, then the company may not call you, even if you have an established business relationship with that company.
