I feel I wasted my time getting approved with them.I had to go through much paperwork to get approved with them.Do Maverick and TMc have loads for approved carriers?
I also recieved a call from a JB HUNT recruiter who later emailed me this.
I pretty much feel it is a bait and switch.I have another friend checking it out before I jump on it.
I appreciate your time today
The simplest way I can explain this offer to you is this: "Your trucks and your drivers, hauling our trailers and our loads." You would maintain all operating authority and ownership of the truck and the driver. Your driver would NOT have to follow any J.B. Hunt rules around safety or logs. Although we want you to be safe and follow all the DOT rules regarding logs. This is 100% dedicated round trip program. The routes could be irregular each time, but if you start at your house, and want to run 10 days then at the end of your 10 day trip you will end up back at the house.
Let's talk about the requirements to get you started! The insurance is going to be the most important item. You must have 1 million in general liability, 1 million in auto liability, 100,000 in cargo insurance, and 25,000 for trailer interchange. The first step will be to get our packet filled out. Let me send you our carrier packet then you can fax it back to me at 479-820-5989.
1. Works good for OTR drivers who operate in all states east of
I-35.
2. Truck maintains ALL operating authority and ownership. This is NOT
a traditional independent contractor program.
3. Must be available to run a minimum 10 days, if driver wants good
miles.
4. Average pay to truck has been 1.20 to 1.40 per mile loaded in our percentage
program.
5. Average miles is 2000-2500 per week on the OTR drivers.
6. About 50% of loads are drop/hook of J.B. Hunt trailers.
7. Paid in 10 business days from the receipt of your POD & your
Invoice. Can Fax BOL's for quicker response.
8. Support group working ‘behind the scenes’ is available to ensure you
have everything to be successful.
9. 800 number for Cargo Claims, Power Detention, Safety Dept, Fleet
Support, and Lumpers.
Thank you
