But to hear him go off...you would think he was being shafted ...and if he did actually leave J.B. you know he tells a story of him being shafted by dispatch :wink:

 

well he will have it worse at wener because i can rember bobtailing 30 or 40 miles to get an empty and then it not being there and having to drive another 30 miles to find another this one not uncommon in some areas so good luck to him

 

Yeah no kidding ...But the best ones are when you spend 2-3 hours going around town chasing ghost empties ,and then get told to go bob tail as it''s pre-load ,However when you arrive at the shipper there aren't any blue trailers there ,and the shipping/receiving staff says we ...NEVER...pre-load Werners . Spent 3 Hours one day looking for an Mt to go pick up a load at Owl Cable in Rome N.Y. when I couldn't find one I was told just bobtail it's a pre-load ...Got there only to be told they do not pre-load Werner's ,So I sat and waited for 1.5 hrs to be given another pick up location for an mt By the time I got the MT and got to owl cable I had wasted 6 hours then it took 4 hours for them to set up the cribbing in the trailer for the odd sized spools ....But it gets better what my trip info did not mention was that the driver has to pull up all the cribbing for drakar cable ...So because it took almost as much wood as it does to build a house to secure these off size spools I had a very sweaty 2 hours of humping lumber ...wet smelly moldy lumber with no help from the receiver ...and Werner wouldn't pay me for an off-load just an assist ( whoo hoo 20.00 dollars ....CHEAP BASTIDS ...this was my last trip out as a Werner driver :wink:

 

Who failed ? If I quit JB does that mean I failed ? Blaaa I have not been late to one appointment yet Love the customers, Love the work (I unload my own trailer) And am thinking seriously of leaving JB. NOT because I failed, But because JB failed :shock: BTW I am doing the DCS Penny's account-reginal. Left once but they called me back following week and sed they would stick to thier promise. Which has yet to become true :twisted:

 

I dont know your story nor did I recruit you so how can I comment? I can tell you that if you are running the JCP out of WI, I have put quite a few drivers on it that love it and they are doing well. Thats one of my favorite jobs to hire for because once I put drivers on it, they tend to send me a lot of referrals. Your best bet is to find out whats going wrong and use the chain of command to figure it out and try to fix it. JB has a very good open door policy, use it all the way up to the top if you need to.

 

Lived in Colonie when I was younger. Went to Sand Creek. Then I went to Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake.

 

Well, that never seemed to stop you before. Making comments on how people fail before you even know what has happened is the thing you do best here.

But I'll go like this. To me, JB Hunt is like McDonald's. Good to start working to get something on your resume. And If you want to become manager, you can with time. However, like many people elsewhere, my time is valuable. So I went on to better things.

Funny thing though. I always thought you could make more......at McDonald's.

 

I don't like JB because of what happened while I was employed, but even I will say that this guy is lazy. Funny thing, he got more miles than me, and still not happy.

That's all I got to say.

 

If you really want to see what JB Hunt is all about, check out this table that CAD has:

http://www.classadrivers.com/rating....ings&ListAll=1

And notice the 2.14 in the respect for drivers column. That tells the tale why more people follow the "Sheepster" from post to post, bashing away. After all, they got the number from somewhere.

 

Those company ratings are not something I would suggest using to make up my mind about any company. The number of votes per company would have to be much higher and I would have to see as close to an equal number of votes per company as well.
Most of the companies rated the best have only 1 vote, the same goes for the companies with the worst ratings.
The most votes I came across was for Werner(20), still hardly enough for me to make a decision on any company.
I know from past experience that unhappy people from any profession are more apt to complain about their company than the happy people are to praise their company.
