JB Hunt. My husband has been with JB hunt since last August ,he was
two weeks out two days home.

week but never even came close to it .His highest paycheck has been
600.00 dollars everthing else was only in the two hunderet dollar
range.He requested another dispatch ,got one but nothing changed .So
he decided to try reigional .But so far his paychecks don't look any
better.
> Since he started working for JB hunt all our savings are gone and
we are so far in debt now that we already lost some of our
belongings,phone has been shut off ,electric will be next and we are
waiting for eviction. It is hard to believe that one companie can
ruin your whole life. We have to choose to either pay bills or feed
our children because we can't do both with what little he make. My
husband has been a truck driver for over 22 years and should make
good money ,but so far no luck. I don't know what to do anymore ,I
can't work because of my disability or i would. Sounds strange but
true ,JB hunt has ruined our life.

>I am in th e same situation you are in . We have just bought a
house. When we found out I had severe health problems. And so my Dr.
took me off work. So Im disabled now. So now its all up to my
husband. We was over the road and hardly bringing in 400.00 if that.
He changed dispatchers. Nothing changed. Then he went to the
railroad. Hoping that would bring in mopre money. and so far he is
doing worse. One week he brought in 200.00 and one week he brought in
300.00 We don't know what to do. We are going to have to go on state
assistance which i hate because we are not making it. JBHunt has
really let us down. But the bad thing is they have great insurance.
So we are stuck between ar rock and a hard place so to speak. So I
know what you are talking about.

Yes I know the feeling,we lost our house and now we are living in a rental that is in very bad shape but can't even afford to pay rent.Even tried for public assistance which is denied they say he makes to much I can't see how. We give Jb one more week .My husband has switched to regional but still he is not getting any miles.If things don't pick up he will quit .He is thinking about joining Whiteline express. ***.*************.COM
He was told that he could be making better money there .And home time should be better as well. I wish there was anything we could do about the lies we were fed by the recruiter and the money we are not making.JB hunt is a very large coropration but don't give a damn about the drivers or their families. We are so far behind in bills its not even funny.I agree on the insurance but if the pay is not there and you can't make ends meet there is no sence in staying .You will just wind up like us losing everything. Have your husband check out this company .My husband has over 22years experience and makes less than his youngest daughter at burgerking which is a shame. There are a few sites where you can put a resume in and they will send you responses fast. Blackhawk transport is also looking for drivers. their phone number is 1800 *******, Whiteline express is 888 *******.
Good luck and I wish i could help out more.
