Default Well, I'll try this again. Another JB Hunt letter.

Again, this came to me and I'm hoping the mods will just EDIT out the part they don't like. I have to post the entire thing as I got it.

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.
The bottom part I think is a responce to the letter above. I post them as I get them. I don't write them. If anything comes up positive for JB, I will post that as well.

Any comments? Except those you complain about beating a dead horse. I'm making horse burgers tonight. :wink:

Subject: Re: [jbhunt_trucking_families] I agree!!

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.
Again, mods, if there is anything you don't like, please edit it out. I took the liberty to edit the numbers. Thanks.

You're welcome to post them if you want. I would, however, ask that you edit out their e-mail addresses. Having them posted in the header probably isn't the most kosher thing to do.

Plus the Fact that probably 90% of companies with Company drivers will always have someone saying the same thing about their company.

I am still trying to figure out how, with 22 yrs experience, that he is still struggling like that. I have barley 10 yrs and I am not struggling like that. You can't blame that on JB. I think there is more to this story than is being told here. I am not saying that you are not posting all the letter. I am just saying that the writer is not telling all the story. I think the writer is just writing this to get noticed. It is probably all BS. I know several JB Hunt drivers and I have talked to many more and I have found only one that was unhappy there.
