Well, since they "turned up" their trucks.... I think, like most other companies.... they pay by the MILE! :lol:

Only J.B. Hunt is still slow enough to have to pay by the week! :wink:

Sorry, Dude.... just couldn't help myself! I don't know the answer, and I WOULD tell you to "do a search" but that function seems to be worthless on this board!

I'm SURE someone will come along and answer you!

OOps!! See there?? BigBird has allready answered! ops:

Kali, not trying to give you a hard time. But, you're going to orientation in 2 weeks and you still don't know such basic things about this company? Are you sure you did enough research to make a decent decision on who to work for? I'm not saying anything negative about your choice of employer, just that to be asking these things at this stage of the game makes me wonder if you are doing yourself any favors. Have you done any comparisons to other companies? There was a checklist floating around on one of these boards that listed a bunch of questions to ask companies. If you haven't seen it yet it may help you out.

Where are you attending orientation at?

This will make a big difference in the answers you get about the motel as well as others you may have that are location specific.

Anybody here about the J.B. hunt driver caught with dope in his truck?











They opened up his passenger door and a Swift driver fell out!!!!

Yes, I've seen it and used it too. It's very usefull in making sure someone asks the right questions when talking to recruiters. Better to know beforehand what's going to happen rather than getting surprised later.

Oh, was there a point you was trying to make with your lame response? Or are you just another one of those know-it-all types?

Geez! You need to lighten up! He was just joking around! OR, are YOU just one of those know-it-all types??? Besides, I don't think he was talking to you anyways!
