Jb Hunt
More of the Same (or shame?)

I hired on with JB Hunt in 2003 and stayed on with them for a year before I found a better job. Times were tough, and I ended up hiring on with them again in September of and "quit" in November.

My dispatcher was a little wet behind the ears, never driven a tractor-trailer kind of guy, who only knew situations that were black and white.

JB Hunt knows NO shades of grey. I could never please my dispatcher on the Southwest division, even though I was ontime with every delivery and a safety-conscious driver (like JB Hunt wants to have). First he said my log books were not good enough. Then he said I spent too much time in the cab. The final straw was when he came over the Quallcom and told me that I did a "hard brake" and told me I needed retraining in Washington. I was to drop a load in Washington and go to training. When I went to Washington to drop the load, I asked him where the class was to be held, and he told me to drop off my truck and find my own way home... To PHOENIX!!!
I tried to talk to his supervisor, but they didn't want to hear anything. I then told them I quit.

DON'T WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! I think they are recruiting drivers fast, and, judging by the number of complaints on this board, are only recruiting for government money, then getting rid of people.
