    When you got 10,000 empty trucks you'll say anything to get a driver to sit in the driver's seat.

    Now it was my understanding That for a hair test they had to pluck the hair by the roots... Cause the need the folical in order for the test to work. Sounds like you just got robbed to me. But ive been incorrect before (dont tell my wife I said that).

    Just my $0.02 - I think some, if not most, would agree with me. And don't take it as condescending, more as constructive criticism.
    THAT was your FIRST mistake -- Craigslist.

    I've put in for local jobs through local recruiting services and immediately been bombarded by CR England and JB ####... Relentlessly trying to fill OTR trucks. They're like zombies, they don't understand English and don't go away. "BRAAAAINS... BRAAAAINS..." I guess they ARE looking for brains, most company owners demonstrate their lack thereof on a daily basis, and most dispatchers aren't sufficiently equipped either...
    Meanwhile In The Dispatch Office.jpg ​
    And it never occurred to you that $1000 minimum per week is $52,000 a year, not over $80,000?
    Several hundred dollars in drug tests? Were you ever told why you weren't getting the bonus? FYI - Bonuses that large usually are paid out in installments -- First load, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year is the norm I've seen.
    I've never partaken of the 'devil's lettuce' or any other narcotic, but when they started talking about hair follicle testing, I would have said, "Thank you very much, I'll keep you in mind." As I've done with companies that only offer ProStars and Volvos... As I've done with companies that force per diem, and do business in other methods not to my liking.
    I think we've determined the root cause of the problem here. A company who has driven all its drivers away with "1984"-style fascist #### that it expects to force on all its new recruits. When will they ever learn?

    Oh, the irony. Pantifa stands in the streets and blocks trucks to 'resist' fascism that doesn't exist... Never knowing that If they want to 'resist' REAL fascism they should apply to companies that pull #### like this and then refuse the test. LOL.

    My last drug test 3 weeks ago cost 800.00 billed. They hunt for anything at all. Including a number of blood markers for other important things related to kidney and other organs too.

    JB hunt has always pulled this bait and switch... Why anybody would even remotely consider going to work for them in any way shape or form is mind boggling...
