They were very picky and only wanted flawless drivers.
So the book would go like this.
Work hard for 2 years in OTR.
Never get a ticket
Never get a dwi ever
Never get a felony
Never get ever a misdemeaner charge. If you had a hot check charge 15 years ago for a 5 buck hamburger, they will still turn you down.
Never have any unemployment. Even if you were unemployed 2 years ago for 3 weeks, they will still turn you down.

Needless to say it was a hard job to hire for. However, I did find quite a few drivers that qualified.

do they still hold those same standards? if so, in about 10 more months, i'll qualify for that company.

Dont know, I dont recruit for them anymore. I dont even know if JB hunt Recruits for them still. However I bet you can find them online. The company is Praxair. Tanker outfit, pulls pressurized gasses
