Yep, you guess it, another JB Hunt ad placed by a recruiter. I won't do it, but I felt that i should post to let others know that this is out there...who knows? Want to own your own JB truck? Give them a call.

Cluggy, if you are going to advertise for us....at least change the phone number to mine 888-524-8687.

I can understand companies advertising , most of them need to and I get it . Buy why the secrecy ? There are dozens of JB 3rd party websites out there which advertise jobs that are okay but obviously JB Hunt which they won't say until you call , it's quite annoying to anyone looking for a job .

Ive explained this before, smooth. However, I will again.
When recruiters like me run ads out there or create websites, we are not allowed to use JBs logo or name. We also pay for those ads and wesbites out of our own pocket. Believe me, if I could put JB hunt on my personal website I would in a minute. It would sure save a lot of my time by limiting the number of unwanted and unhireable drivers calling me.
Though there is also advantage to not putting JB on our websites opr ads. Those leads that I pay for are my property, not JB hunts. So I dont share them with other recruiters or the company. If you call me or fill out an application on one of my ads or websites, you are not going into the company database.

But I don't like you......

seriously, if I find a ad like this, I have to post it "as-is"....people on this board already find me as non-creditable. And I was thinking about it, but as I don't like JB, I figured someone here might, and this might work out for them.

I doubt it, but it might. So I posted it for them. :wink:
