    Maybe you should read up on JB Hunt before you jump from the frying pan into the fire.
    There are multiple "bad" comments on the truckers report about them as well. I guess it will depend on your terminal. Good Luck with the "walking". I know how you feel. It comes from sitting too long! Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    Just make sure you get that truck to a terminal if you walk, USX will put that on your DAC as an abandonment. they have no trouble in making lives hard with putting negative things on your DAC.

    Yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Too many jobs in the past are really narrowing my choices. Right now I have offers from JB and HO Wolding, both dedicated jobs, both home weekly. I've actually considered packing up the family and moving right now cause I have a huge tax return. Nothing local available that I'm interested in.

    Well I am not telling you to not go to JB, just read up on them before making some changes. I have met a few people who was making a bunch of money with them but that was few and far between, There was a how bunch I spoke to that was having troubles.

    Hey by the way are you on a dedicated at USX? if not tell them you want on the Reket account(not sure on the spelling). when I was there I got a bunch of miles on that account. Now I had to stay on top of them but I got a crap load of miles. Just have to push them a little.
    don't expect to get detention pay. that was my final reason for leaving. I probably should of stayed there cause the miles I was getting were pretty good. But that's me I like moving around a little. Some think that's a bad thing but I enjoy moving around from company to company. keeps it a little interesting lol

    Glad to be able to hear things like this.

    US Express is one of the companies I had been considering if I do in fact go back to driving.

    I thought they were one of the better ones. They must be starting to slip.

    Of those three...place priority on CFI....they still are about 50/50..

    The other two just don't make the good list very often.

    Yes. CFI may not be the greatest, but they're a lot better then the other two.
