My wife started working for JB Hunt in Oct. I ride with her but I am handicapped. After working for the company for 7 months they offered her a lease truck. They said she would average 2500 miles per week. You also have 3 wks to back out of it. Those first 3 weeks she did real good but after that they would only give her 1800 to 2000 miles per week.
To break even fuel, ins, truck payment, It's 1800 miles per week. Some weeks she didn't even break even. We don't know if it's because she's a woman lease driver or what.
Then she got sick the doctor gave her a note saying unable to drive until released by an M.D. She called her driver manager He said he needed her Medical records, her doctor said all they needed was the note she wrote. So JB Hunt Inc fired her. She asked If she found a driver could he drive the truck to lowell ark. They said no they will come and get it.
She went 4 weeks without a pay check hauling JB Hunts freight for free. Jb Hunt cost us our vehicle credit and stole 3000.00 in escrows. Since then we have talked to other drivers they said similer things have happened to them. I just hope a lawyer reads this and we can do something about JB Hunt preying on drivers to get their freight hauled for free. I am giving my name because JB Hunt doesn't scare me because every thing i have said is true, I was there.
