Truck Driving Jobs

Called a recruiter for JB Hunt today. They have me set up to do a dedicated run, 2400 miles a week, $.38cpm.

I returned my truck to an England yard in Dayton. Before I did I had them fax me paperwork stating I would NOT get abandonment on my DAC.

SO...thoughts on a JB dedicated run?

Make double and triple sure that JB Hunt knows you have that run!! When I drove for them, I hired on specifically for a dedicated run, and low and behold, it was gone by the time I got out of orientation. At which point they said they'd put me in OTR fleet until another one dedicated run appeared. I refused - told them they need to put me in a dedicated run like the one I was told I'd get or another one similar or I don't drive for them. They found another dedicated run for me, was pretty good one for as long as it lasted.
They lost that run after awhile, and offered to put me on the Wal Mart fleet, which I did, and that was OK too, until they changed the residency requirements so that I was no longer eligible to be on that fleet. Then I was put on their beer fleet. I hated that one. It was at that point I told them goodbye. The whole point of a dedicated run is to stay on it! I got tired of having to switch runs due to no fault of my own.

I would tell you what I think about JB, but I'm disgruntal.

Talk with sheepdancer.....he will fulfil your dreams.

Too late for that....he already talked to another recruiter.

Tell me what dedicated run he put you on. 38cpm and 2400 miles per week sounds like the PPG run. If it is, you will like it. Pretty consistant freight. Almost all drop and hook. Home every other weekend for 72 hours.

Sheepdancer, it's SWTR. Huntington WV to New Brunswick NJ.

I dont know too much about that account, I have only put one driver on it. However he likes it. Flatbed with no tarping....he told me occasionally you will get random backhaul flatbed freight that might require tarping. I wish I could tell you more about it. As a recruiter, I learn about things beyond whats on the job description by talking to the drivers ive put on the job. The best I can do is tell you that my one driver ive hired for that job likes the job..

... I hope that helps some.

Decided to go OTR. Anyone have experience with JB OTR?

Hometime seems way better than CRE.

Pass the physical with the emphasis on blood pressure, heart rate during exercise and the hair samples taken for drug testing. Then you can look forward to 14 days out, then 3 days for yourself. Be sure to ask when you are there if a dedicated account is available to you. During your stay at orientation more than likely something will open. The worst they can say is no. Good luck to you...
