Question about the JB Hunt I/C program?

[Driver2003]

I am considering getting involved with the JB Hunt independent contractor program but have noticed a lot of negative comments about it, does anyone have anything good to say about this? Should I avoid getting involved? Basically GOOD or BAD?

JB Hunt, in my opinion, stinks! They, along with some other notable large trucking firms, have so segregated the trucking industry by lowering tariffs to get freight at any cost. And then to bow down to the government and ask for help. That's how they got into rail shipments. Through rail it makes it really cheap to send freight and to then have their trucks at the rail yards to pick up the freight and deliver it. Thus taking money out of our pockets by lowering freight rates. You want to pull for them?

Be very careful. I was just in the Atlanta terminal and talked with several l/p guys. They are not making the money they were told they were going to make but said the company told them it was the slow season and would pick up at the end of feb. One of the guys was turning his truck back in and getting into a company truck. He couldnt make it but that may have been due to not wanting to stay out.
