That couldnt be further from the truth. Their high turnover rate comes from their insanely high qualifications for being a driver there. Even 1 ticket and you are canned. They only want the best drivers working there and they wont settle for anything less.
Ive mentioned this before on this board, but bears mentioning again. Even over here at JB over half of the turnover comes from drivers being fired. Take away drivers terminated, drivers quiting for various personal reasons....and just leave drivers who quit because they werent happy, you are looking at about 20%. 20% really isnt that bad. 50% of your turnover rate are fired. 20% of your turnover rate quit because they didn't like it there. So that leaves 30% quiting for various reasons. This is the percentage of your turnover rate. So what is your turnover rate per year? And what amases me is that your happy with the percentage that didn't like the company.....what about those that just gave you all the finger and left, without giving a exit interview?

I give Cluggy crap for his disgruntled comments about JB Hunt BUT....... I do have a respect for him because he actually worked for JB Hunt. The greatest thing about working for JB Hunt was listening to guys like you, following me into a truckstop telling everyone on the CB to watch out because a JB Hunt is looking for a parking spot. I would hit my spot the first try and then watch bigmouth take 5 pull ups to get into a spot and then you never heard another word out of them.
