    Would "I" do it. No. If I was in your shoes I might consider it if I wanted to stay out all the time but to have one week off after three months out is not my cup of tea anymore. It would depend on what type of miles you get. They do have good equipment and I think their benefits are ok.

    I'm just started an MBM foodservice route in Cali with jb hunt a month ago. The route that they are having me run right now pays about $1400 a week. I'm home every night and I hv 2 days off a week. It's like a perfect gig but it has downsides like every job. It's a foodservice account for MBM. We deliever to jack in the box and del taco. Jack in the box is easy you just drop pallets of food off at the stores. Del taco is the one that everyone hates because you have unload the pallets out of your trailer then use a hand truck to bring in all of the food. Some of the loads weigh close to 40k lbs. so it sucks to put it in the store. It is definitely possible to make around 72k with jb hunt.

    I just started jb hunt on an MBM foodservice account and we get around 72k but it is a lot of hard work and lifting heavy ### boxes. A guy that went 2 orientation with me is on the will run fleet and he is average around 3000 miles a week . He gets home more than every 12 weeks, about every 3 weeks.

    I am sure 2200 is just an average, a lot of drivers do not want to run, But as long as you show up on time you will get another load right behind it. If your early and make a habbit to show your manager that you want to run, you will not be sitting long. your manager can be your best friend if you get out and run.. their job is to get loads moving and if you do you will get rewarded.....their region is north to south I35 and there is a lot of miles in the east..
