JB or Covenent
My husband was offered employment by both companies. He works for MTS (Martin) out of Michigan, which should be avoided like the plague. Which would you guys recommend going to?

My brother worked for Covenent for 1 year he would stay out for a month or so at a time. The only complaint he had was he never got home when needed other than that he was happy.

lmao, exactly.
Whats so bad with Martin? There are a few drivers on here with them and like it.
If he hates Martin, then he will really hate JB & Cov. Atleast I would think living in a truck for weeks at a time for free would suck...:hellno:
Hey JD,
PS: Oowwwwwwwwww, BLACK ICE!!:clap::smokin:

PSSSSSSSSST Jim,
MARTIN, the company that the OP is referring to.
MARTEN, the ones with the "BLUE BIRD" on the trailer.
I hear that JB has a nice account in MURRYSVILLE that might interest you:lol or maybe WEST MIFFLIN )

HA! I may have to plead "temporairly out of my mind" on that one.
However, if they will let us run team out of West Mifflin, then maybe we can make the big buck$!!
BTW, what the hell truck am I supposed to be looking for now adays?? It's to the point where every AIM truck I see, I hollar at em on the cb!
I'm still running around the Burgh. No change in sight, and thats ok with me. BTW, get you and the wife down to Diesel on Carson for the DVE Xmas show. King Cool Donnie Iris, Joe Grushecky, The Clarks, and more. Dec 18th. I'll buy ya some cokes! We're heading down!
OK, enough of me hijacking the post.

i thought the question was "jb or covanent?". either way i would rather get kicked in the balls, less formal than hitting.

If I absolutely had to go with one over the other, I'd say JB Hunt.
Never seen, heard, or read ANYTHING positive about Covenant!!!:thumbsdown:
