    Sitting on JB Hunt load would not be such a bad thing considering $50 dol per hour detention after 2 hours. You need to, as with Convoy, use their 360 app, so they see you when you make these arrival and departure entries. When submitting BOL always make sure there is time in and time out, even if they would not give it to you, write it down yourself. I always do, stating the truth.
    They have been fair and square with me with detention.
    Sometimes, I had to call and prompt them, other times they paid separately a few days after the original check but I always had my detention money with JB Hunt.

    $4463 revenue/3844miles = $1.16 per mile.

    Pretty typical it seems these days.

    Our Governor, Kate Brown, here in Oregon just extended the Coronavirus lock down until after the 4th of July. My county, ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations. Less than a handful of positives. So, looks like dozens of more small businesses will be closing down soon.

    I let their solicitation tactics win over me. The lady I spoke with was so nice to me that I could no say no.
