I was told by an employee at JB Hunt that drivers get on average 2500-3000 miles/wk. Are there any JB Hunt Drivers on the board that can verify this for me? I am supposed to be going to their driving school next week.

Thank You,
Stephen

Hit up Sheepdancer... He is our resident JB recruiter. Tell him more about what your doing, and he will give you the scoop on the miles you can expect.

Warning, once JB finds out you are alive, they will never stop calling you.

Realize though that this is claculated on a 7 day week. Not very good miles for 7 days. If this were for a 5 day week it would be average.

JB took a break for about a year and then in the last 3 or 4 weeks they have been calling pretty regularly. its a different person each time so i have to tell him/her that i am not interested in the opportunity anymore. they just dont seem to put it in the computer or on the sheets. :?

i personally get between 3200-3500 per week with JB. as far as some driving school, you'll have to ask Sheepdancer.

As far as the driving school goes, I know that back in April and May when I was at Central Tech in Drumright Ok. they were sending some of the new hires there for thier schooling and license.

Fleet-wide average at JB Hunt is less than 2100 miles/week, which is not too good. Average trip is only 520 miles or so.

Bascially lots of short/medium hauls. That's why they pay around .40 cpm. It's also why they're always recruiting. :roll:

Actually Fleet wide average is 2560 a week.
