if you have a good job now and making good money with hometime why would you want to leave. I did talk to a driver that was running out of the Walmart DC there he said it was mostly night driving but was making the money and getting home on time like promised. I am sure sheepdancer can answer this question better

And If after all of that, you still go with JB Hunt, GOOD LUCK. You're going to need it.

DIAL 1-800-J.B. HUNT ...THAT'S 1-800-J.B. HUNT ... when I went thorough training my trainer had XM radio ,And I every time I see a JB hunt truck I think of that guy with the annoying voice doing that radio commercial . Sorry to take the thread off topic ,But that cheesy commercial still echo's in my head when JB is mentioned . :wink:

Wal-mart grocery is a great job. But its not local. More like a regional. You are delivering to Sams and Wal-marts all over the NE. 5 days on 2 days off (tues - Wed) Occasionally you might get to take your break at home during your shift....but I wouldnt think it would really happen that much.
If you want to PM, I will give you the name of a guy who used to run it. He doesnt work for JB anymore and is a Moderator of a board like this. He will shoot straight with you.

Exactly...You should talk to a few drivers who run or ran the wal-mart grocery account. When you want to know the truth about a job, ask the people who SUCCEED, not a person who FAILED at a job.
