Bat-Boy must have been hungry when he posted that response!

:wink:

 

I don't understand why you would drive for JB Hunt if you have 22 years exp. , JB is a company that targets frustrated company drivers just starting out OTR and gives them a better alternative than staying out weeks at a time with a high amount of dedicated freight .

 

I don't know why in todays market anyone would work for ANY bottom tier OTR company with 2 years of experience, much less 22.

There is far more to this story.

 

I did. I went with JB Hunt because the process was quick. I was layed off and didn't want to wait 2-3 weeks to get into an orientation. They also got me in a truck and rolling faster than all the other company's I talked too. They also didn't care that I was going to leave when I got the call to come back to work.

Dispatchers, Load Planners and Driver Managers go through tons of piss poor drivers and when they see that they have a good drivers they are going to give the good loads to the good driver and they know that they will deliver on time.

 

yep i do agree i have been on this dedicated account for 4 weeks average pay per week for me has been over 1200 a week and home weekends....i have nothing to complain about except the other lazy drivers whose slack i had to pick up this week ......but lazy peeps seem to find their way everywhere they probobly even have more time to dig up obscure posts and put them up on our message board....

just kidding chuggy but i couldnt resist....

 

The problem with letters like this is that we will never know what influence the drivers own choices and attitudes had on their situation. I don't believe for a minute that any of these letter writers didn't contribute towards their own unhappiness.

 

All of you have valid points....22 years, and the best he could do is JB? I agree. However, it doesn't make the driver or his wife(who is posting this letter) a liar.

And folks, let face it. This board doesn't like JB Hunt bashers, or anyone bashing other companies, except for the extream bashing of CRE. Other boards have their complaint box filled with "hate mail". One board had over 113 pages on why not to bother with JB on one post alone..

And this site was given to me by JB Hunt safety personal for advice and tips on the road. That's why it's so funny when people post there that they are having problems with JB. :wink:

 

again, what point are you trying to prove? and is it worth the time and effort involved? grow up dude.

 

Kosher is food fit for consumption according to tribe elder/jewish rabbi. Back in the day tribes/clans would get wiped out by eating disease infested critters. To preserve/protect the tribe, the elder (wisest?) ok'd the food they could eat.

That's why they don't eat pigs.

As Jules so eloquently stated -

"Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother#)(!&%. Pigs sleep and root in feces. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces."

Presumably, thousands of years ago Pigs In The Wild were even filthier.

Hope I brightened up your day

 

Logically it makes no sense for a company to have 14,000 rigs and dispatching department conspiring not to let any of them move more than a thousand miles a week. They didn't get that big sitting in parking lots and avoiding freight.
