JB Hunt's physical
 

I have heard that Hunt expects an applicant lift 100 pounds over their heads during the physical. Can anyone shed light on this?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

While there is lifting involved in the physical, along with some carrying, and some climbing, I can tell you that the weight you life is nowhere close to 100 lbs.

I think it was around 25-50 lbs.

But not 100 lbs. No-one could do what they wanted you to do if it was.

Best thing to do is to stop listening to the haters of JB Hunt who are out to misguide you.

Good luck.

Yes, I do.

Thanks for pointing that out. :wink:

I want those Hunt haters to understand that right now I have chose n to try JB because it is about the only option I have to get into the line of work I want and gain some experience. Each of us must decide for ourselves what works for us in our lives and in our driving. It may not be right for you but may work for me with the right attitude. So nothing ventured...nothing gained.

Personally, I thing there are enough reasons to avoid jb without having to make them up

lifting 100 lbs
 

i drove for jb hunt before the weight is like a normal weight you 1st put i think it was 50 lbs in a milk crate and lift it to waist heigh then you put another 50lbs in the milk creat and lift it waist high then with it waist high you walk around a small room the 4 walls and set it back down thats it for the weights then you step up & down a small set of steps i think it was 3 or 4 for a pre set amount of time then they have you prtend to climb up in the back of a trailer pretty simply stuff hope this helped

I hope you have great success with them

I guess I'm going to have to put that site up again.....

But to tell the truth, I'm bored with it. :wink:

During, and right after the end of my CRST contract, JB Hunt courted me like I was the hottest piece of ass in Indiana. Thanks to the due DILIGENCE of folks here, I was able to outmaneuver these JB Hunt scum bags at their own game. Since I had already lined up my next driving position, I allowed JB Punk recruiting to run with some of my info etc. Oh Yes, Oh Yes, Oh Yes, no problem, no problem blah blah blah. Right up to the day that I would have left for orientation. All of a sudden. Problems. Of course. MY problems. Nastiest snake oil salesmen that I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. Not a day has passed and I stumbled in to the tanker world, that I haven't expressed a heartfelt thanks to JB Punk for screwing me over. I think that shining moment has defined my having a great career, instead of flaming out amongst that filth. (that IS JB Hunt filth) And they still call me every week. Always comes in Private Call. That should tell you something there.
If my own situation had not happened. I would have probably felt that there was a bit of whining etc, going on here. But, after having been through it personally. I raise my right hand and swear "They are really THAT BAD!" Your Honor. Oh yeah, back to the topic; During the physical examination, the position assumed for the prostate check should be the position that you become accustomed to for the remainder of your employment term. A "super size" KY Jelly bottle might make things a bit more comfy.
