I went to a JB Hunt orientation a long time ago I was told I was going to get a dedicated position. Well that didn't happen I was forced into OTR, the position was magically filled when I got there. The truck does not go home they are a slip seating company, trucks must stay at terminals or approved parking areas on hometime. If you take 1-2 days off you will lose your truck. This was told to me from the regional director at the time. I didn't like what I saw and heard so I came home and got another job, this was several years ago things might have changed? I know the process was pretty strict, really thorough background checks with local, state, and federal law enforcement as well as INTERPOL, hair follicle drug test, physical from their doc, work well assessment test (lifting weights, climbing ladders, stairs, brisk walking, heart rate monitors, blood pressure, etc.), road test in a van, then a road test in a tractor trailer. All for plain jane slow trucks and a whopping .35/mi at the time. But it's true they say if you can get hired there you can get hired anywhere.
