I satarted lease with JB Hunt in May and worked for first 30 days and set my off time for 10 days. Came home and took my off time. Came back from my off time and JB Hunt had picked up truck and empty trailor and penalized me for another month before they would allow me to go back to work. They completely terminated my employment and required me to completely requalify to go back to work for them. I felt as if I was a convict.
Beakeven mileage was 2150 for me. Actual times ever reached breakeven mielage was seldom. My average mileage while employed by JB Hunt was 1700 miles per week. My term of employment with them was 19 months and for the past 8 months did not receive any funds. All earnings went to pay fuel, truck lease payment, etc.
I became ill and was off for approximately one month and got deeply in debt to these people and unable to get mileage to catch up. The company initially offered a loan to pay the amount of expense in excess of income so that I could start receiving a pay check each week. After signing a promissory note agreeing to pay back a small amount per week, the operations manager decided that it would be handled differently after the amount being borrowed had been given to me. The amount being borrowed was taken in a one time payment instead of the agreed weekly payment. That put me further in the hole because JB Hunt would not give me the mileage to get ahead.
I too hope an attorney sees this and will act upon it and will gladly give any information needed.
