I’ve been with Jb Hunt for one year. With that being said, I’m lookin. It’s hard getting truck serviced because most accounts you work at don’t have a shop or shops near. Management encourages you to use your own money for getting the job done and says, “We’ll reimburse you.” They stopped trading in their trucks so now it’s hard to get one. Most days you have to wait for a driver to get back. They treat your personal phone like a company phone and will just call you all times of the day and week. Almost camaraderie between drivers.
If you need experience, go to Jb Hunt and then get out.
I worked as an owner operator with JB Hunt for 3 months until recently. Average take home pay was $ 1,500.
A week? That's not good for an OO.
I am with Shaffer trucking and I really actually want to leave and go work for another company. Shaffer actually treats me pretty good but I just want to get home more. However, everything I have heard about JB Hunt so far makes me think I should not risk it. Shaffer actually treats me really well. Maybe I should start making videos to convince people to come and work with us instead of me leaving.
If they treat you well and you like them, I would highly suggest you talk to them about giving you more home time rather than leaving them. And yes. Make videos sharing your experiences.
I work with Shaffer otr as well but thinking about jb hunt the way I look at it why be otr taking a 34 when I can be with my family plus jb hunt is closer to my home address
The only thing I don’t like is there driver facing cameras
Waiting on a truck is a problem specially at haslet terminal they try to fly u out to get a truck to Chicago or somewhere which I don’t agree to it but other than that good company to work for.
Grettings moses.. quick coment.. when you say. Jb hunt is growing.. i say is more like taking over the truck industry.. every where you look. There is a jb hut truck or trailers...😀😀
Yup
Amen brother
Just started with them and I'm already looking to leave. The drivers do too much paperwork. You are basically your own dispatch. The only thing my actually dispatchers are good for is just dispatching me so I can leave. Every problem I have they can't solve.
Do they have automatic trucks?
@@isscsmusic4290 Yeah all their trucks in the yard I'm in is automatic. Mega companies are going all auto
That’s crazy I thought I was the only one I was running the target account out of the North East and experienced the same I was only there a month left and found a home daily making more with less BS
I just started with the company I am a dispatcher. What type of paper work do you guys do I can you please share!?
Was it a pee drug test of hair drug test
Would jb hunt be a good company to lease your own truck on with?
How you doing Moses got hired for the bush account drop & hook in Houston texas, my question is I only drove flatbed & tankers so never back into a dock. Only Time I back up is when park at terminal to bring truck back . Will know hunt train me or they will have to hire somebody else for my position?
I think it will depend on the demand for the account. How long have you been driving trucks? The reason I ask is because it will be easier for you to learn if you already have some experience. Let them know so they can give you a trainer to help you with backing.
Hey Moses few questions…Do you have to urine drug test or get hairs pulled? How long is the cdl training program? Could I bring my family sometimes… or all the time there is just 3 of us… and when should I not bring my family?
1. We have both. I think if I remember right, it’s hair test when getting hired, then urine for randoms
2. I’m not sure how long it is but I think it’s about 6 weeks and depends on how much training you need.
3. Yes you can bring your family but you will need to let them know and sign some paperwork for insurance. You can bring them any time you’re on the truck.
Hello Moses I just got finished all the process for jb hunt and I’m going to start in October but I’m currently working for A big company in the food delivery I have free insurance for me n my family my question is Is it really worth it ? I got for less money But I just like the schedule and the flexibility how expensive is the insurance there?
It really depends on every individual’s situation. In my opinion, our insurance is expensive. I personally pay a little over $200 per week for my family’s insurance.
But I like the schedule and flexibility I currently have. No other company is able to give me that and since family is my priority, it’s what is currently working for my situation and I’m happy with the company culture.
Do you actually have to have 3 years of trucking experience to join JB Hunt or no?
3 months not years.
@@driversuccess do you though?
- my dad says yes you have to in order to join jb hunt but JB Hunt Transport says they have trainers when my dad says they don't have trainers
I would love to transfer to that intermodal account and Haslet Texas. However there's just nowhere affordable to live around there I've looked all the houses are in the 200 or $300,000 are you having to drive 40 minutes to work everyday. I used to live in DFW I was at the steelcase account in DeSoto Texas but I transferred to a different account out of state. I wouldn't mind coming back but the only account I'd really be interested in would be that intermodal account but like I said there's like nowhere affordable to live in that area anymore
House prices have been rising here. We currently don’t own a home we rent. I’m about 20 minutes from the yard.
I just went out of orientation today and went to pick up a truck and it was all beat up. I couldn't get in contact with my driver manager as well as other people in orientation with me.
Wow
Is there a huge difference between starting at an entry level position and a regular position since CDL school isn’t considered 3 months of experience? Is there only a pay difference for 6 weeks?
Yes the pay difference will be for the training program then you start your regular pay based on the account
Thank you!
I reached out,A recruiter said i have to get my 3 mo. experience 1st.
What’s your zip code?
@@driversuccess 12580
@@the_9th_power873 yeah, there’s no entry level positions there at the moment
are you lease ? Do you own a truck and if you.. do you feel in this time is it a good time to lease at JB please answer both
No I don’t own a truck. I’m a company driver. If you have your own truck that you want to lease on to JB, yes. Any time is a good time because they have loads.
How far away from home can you get by working at JB Hunt
Just depends on account you work on. If you’re asking about local driving, you are usually within 150 miles radius
@@driversuccess what about Dedicated C.S and intermodal. In My area to the closest intermodal yard southward is Taylor Pennsylvania. the northward, Montreal Quebec Canada
Does Jb have any manual transmission trucks?
Yes we still have a few
Hi I have a question. Is a high school diploma a requirement ?
No. As long as you have a CDL you’re good
@@driversuccess awesome!! Thank you so much for replying
Im in houston if I come along will I have to train in another city if I want a local position?
If we have local positions in your area then the training is done there (I’m assuming you already have the experience)
@@driversuccess I have cdl school training plus cross trained on some 18 wheelers at previous jobs under my permit. I had a class b license for 2 yrs and upgraded
@@MoneyMakinShepp JB Hunt will most likely consider you as a new driver and will have to put you through the training program but the last time I heard we didn’t have the new driver training program in that area
I was at the houston for a few yrs an tried a few accs...the Amazon one is why I'm still at jb hunt...overall. not a fan of the trucks ..their reliable but very passive some have a coast feature that is bullsht
How is their owner op lease on programs??
My understanding is that they have different programs. Depends on what you want. You can find your own loads or they plan and dispatch you. I need to learn more about those programs too
Do they have inward facing cameras?
No. Just outward facing
They do now.
How much is your referral bonus?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Get to the point damn all that yepping
I tried to text you but it won’t go through
877-667-3750?
Is it possible to get trained on automatic only. Or a 10-speed manual
@@davidobiadoh7682 depends on what your trainer has. If you only drive an automatic, you will have to let them know so they give you a trainer with an automatic
