    Default J B HUNT ???

    I saw a JB Hunt tractor pulling a tri axle dump trailer around my way in PA. I think i may be seeing the same one but i think they have more then 1. Why is JB pulling dump trailers this was a day cab.
    Truck Driving an occupation consisting of hours of boredom interrupted by sheer terror!!

    Probably because they see a decent opportunity to make money.

    J. B. Hunt will get involved in any aspect of this business if they feel that they can make a profit.

    I've seen that one at the water gap. My immediate reaction was;
    WTF?
    When I get old, I move north and drive slow in the fast lane.

    Let me know when they start pulling tankers.

    Back before JB sold the flatbed division they had, one of their drivers went under an overpass in Detroit with a load of pallets. After the traffic behind him got done, there were a few pieces that could be recognized as pallets, but most of it looked like someone scattered a "vast array of tooth-picks". Somehow, I really don't think they are ready to deliver any "impromptu convertibles".
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)

    You haul cars? How do you like it? Must be a fun job when the weather is good, but a bitch when the weather sucks eh?
    You have the right to be wrong. If you do not have the correct opinion, it will be provided for you.

    Then you are in trouble J.B Hunt has been pulling cars namely conversion vans for Mark III conversions for about 10 years I think. They have a fleet of trailers that they use to pull them from the factory in FL to the large mixing yards all over the US.

    I took his post to mean that he hauled cars and didn't want JB Hunt getting into that and providing more competition. My mistake.
