Take a hike. J.B. Hunt is not worth any of our time. All J.B. Hunt does is waste our space. Call us drivers whiners but I don't care what you say, J.B. Hunt recruiters are liars. If you know a person won't make it through orientation don't send that person to orientation. It's a waste of your time and that person's time.

By the way, I finally got off your crappy mailing list. I did so when I had to call 8 months after being sent home from orientation when I had to call to get my status changed as a non-employee because your company has it's head so far up it's rear no wonder I always see tons of J.B. Hunt trucks sitting around.

Everyone needs to avoid J.B. Hunt and as long as I am a trucker I will be one of the voices against that crappy dishonest company.

By the way, tell your drivers to take a shower sometime and to clean their trucks. Both are filthy.

[Jb Recruiter]

Why not ask we why you were sent to orientation and then sent home and be civil?

Im not here to argue with anyone.

What happens in orientation when I driver gets sent home is something shows up that HE or SHE didnt tell us about.
We ask you all sorts of information while we have you on the phone. Driving record, Criminal, Dwi's, Past work history. Most of that stuff we can find out about almost instantly. What we dont check is information about your current job until you are in orientation. This way if you change your mind, your current employer wont know you are looking elsewhere for work. Now say you tell us that eveything is OK and something slips by us until orientation. Say we find something else on your criminal or DAC that you kept from us....Is that our fault? Honestly....why would we pay to send a driver to orientation, feed him, put him up in a hotel room drug test him...and then send him home on purpose. It costs us over 2 grand to put a driver through orientation. And like I said before....I make no money just sending you to orientation. What would I gain by lying to you to get you in there?.

Honestly Im sorry you had a bad expeirence with us. We are doing great things over here. We didnt become the number 1 most profitable trucking company by doing things the wrong way.

[Jb Recruiter]

You said on another string that you were sent home because you didnt have three months exp. Yeah, that will do it. Im sorry but even 3 days short is not a full three months. There is no getting around this because of insurance reasons. What happens is that we cant verify your current employer until you actually make it into orientation. The reason is this. We dont want to inform your current employer that you are actually looking to change jobs. That would be horrible for you if you decided not to come in. This is exactly the reason drivers need to be honest with us about work history. Once again Im sorry that it didnt work out. I hope US Xpress is paying you what you are worth.

Have a great day and Drive safe!

[John52168]

Well, like I said. You J.B. Hunt recruiters lie. I should have been told that I wouldn't be hired because I was short three days experience, but know I was told everything would be fine, just to get me there.

I am not arguing. I am just saying, you can't trust any J.B. Hunt recruiter because I wasn't the only one they suckered into showing up, only to know they would be sent home. Just read some of the messages on this site. There are other drivers that have had similar dealings with J.B. Hunt.

If it was just one recruiter I would be more understanding. But it is not one recruiter for J.B. Hunt, it's quite a few. It says a lot about the J.B. Hunt recruiter. Most, maybe not all, but most are liars and unethical.

Alright guys, let's try to keep this from spilling into any more threads. I understand both sides of this argument, but this has gone on enough of a tangent to take it out of general discussion and needs to be moved to Everything Else or the JB Hunt areas. I applaud the civility of your disagreement and I think it has been handled very well, but it is derailing the threads you're in.

John, you're a valued member of this forum who has an open grudge against a company that practices policies that you greatly disapprove of. You have made it your mission to learn from this mistake and help keep others from doing the same.

Recruiter, you are someone who is trying to complete your job duties in the manner laid out by your company.

Both are respectful positions and I don't think either of you are in the wrong for your stance. It is mainly an issue of two people disagreeing about the hiring practices of a company and the ethics of such practices. I'm glad that this forum is a place where the two of you can come together and disagree in a civil manner. With that said, I hope that you can come to a resolution. There comes a point in an argument where nothing new will be said. I suspect that you will have to either meet halfway or agree to disagree.

For now, please feel free to continue debating as I think you both make good points. I only ask that you try to relegate your debates to the threads they already exist in. If you do continue in new threads, those also will have to be moved or joined with the already existing thread.

[John52168]

Okay. D. Finley. Sorry I about that. I will do my best to ignore him.

[EverytruckMod]

Thanks, but there's no need for an apology. I appreciate the sentiment, however. The two of you can continue to discuss this matter with no objection from me so long as it remains civil and confined to a small area such as this and its neighboring thread. Like I said, you both make good cases for your respective viewpoints.

So, feel free to express your dislike of J.B. Hunt so long as you don't object to another person being able to trumpet the virtues of that company.

[Sheepdancer]

yeah sometimes I get a part time job that comes across my desk....I just dont have anything in NJ now

[classicxl]

what law suit fill the rest of us in with the info

[Sheepdancer]

I dont know anything about a lawsuit nor do I care of you have information about it. Im a JB Hunt Recruiter not a company lawyer. We are a huge company...Im pretty sure a few people have tried to sue us a few times. I will let our Lawyers worry about that.

[Sheepdancer]

I can run you exactly the same as Chris but I will also buy you a pizza!...lol

[tex1979]

Recruiter,
Do you have or get part time or on call trucking jobs in/around 91773 zip code?
Thank you.
Gregory

Feel Free do ask me anything you want about JB Hunt, our recruiting practices, or orientation.

Lets get a few of the questions out of the way that I know you will ask.

Do I get a commission?
Yes, I only get paid if you drive for us. I do not get paid for just getting you into orientation.

Why do you call us at home so much?
Because we need drivers. And it works.

Can you remove me from your call list?
Probably not. I can try. But next time we buy a list of truckers chances are you will be on it again.

Are you here to hire all of us?
No Im here on my hometime. This is not work. Im here to answer your questions.

Will you talk to me about a job if Im looking?
Of course! Im all about the money...lol. I just think it might be OK to talk about US without the sales techniques I use while Im at work. NO PRESSURE, NO SALES....JUST TALK

Now feel free to ask me anything you want and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.
Im not here to lie to you or try to talk you into coming over to us. I just see quite a bit of false info on these boards and think it would be great to clear some of this up.

what is up with jb hunt? they dispatch around some drivers, want you to run for nothing. then when you turn down the cheap loads they put you at the botttom of the pile. it happened today. i am a o/o leased on to this crappy company. they change your eta to suit them. i never was late with a load, i have also heard from a former o/o that it takes weeks to get the money that i have put into my maint. account and the 2 cent a mile i had put into my savings . can you tell me why it takes so long? yall had no problem taking it out. no paying for tolls , but expect you to pay up to $55.00 for a toll. and the poor weekend fleet people. no layover pay on weekends. poor company to lease on to. you recruiters have no idea what really goes on with this company. we where told
$1.85 a mile . what a joke that was just a flat out lie.

Please do not consider this spam. This is for a important cause. I am posting this on as many sites as I can. Please tell your friends to come too! I will be putting up a petition soon.

Not subscriptions, not ANY form of paid accounts, twitter this is WRONG and you will drive away a lot of users. Join this group to protest against Twitter's proposals of paid accounts. We urge Twitter to advertise on their site rather than charge users to use it.

Twitter's servers are already cracking under the strain of the traffic they get. Who would want to pay for something that is slow & goes down all the time. What will they give us, a 'premium failwhale'?

Recent news is that b/c of a spammer, twitter is coming out this summer with premium accounts that will cost money. One of the best things about twitter, is that it's free to tweet! I for one will not pay, join in my group if you won't either!

I worked for an Owner Operator last year when we leased on with jb only to pull their trailers (in a supposedly new division) and we got royally shafted what with HEAVY hauls, short hauls, LOTS of sitting and waiting (at their junk yard in Atlanta), loads yanked after pickup at customers, and limited payments or no payments within the agreed upon contractual rates/times.
We were also told (after being out 2 weeks) that this new division did not allow for O/Os to pull freight beyond a 500 mile limit and weekends were basically free with no freight or with freight yet sitting still and no layover pay for O/Os.

Since last year after trying to run with jb twice and loosing over $1,000.00 PLUS having dead head miles for free, this local company again tried this year with the new and improved division that stated 48 hour pay after delivery confirmation.
They waited up to 5 days to get paid on the 48 hour pay plan and was holding a jb trailer as in trade for pay owed and stated it would be returned AFTER pay was remanded.
That was their LAST attempt to agree with anything jb offered yet jb was calling and e-mailing them every day and still calls them randomly because jb people do not understand what NO implies.

Jb may be a decent company for those that have been driving for them for many years yet it is NOT a good company for O/Os.
- - -
In '03 or '04 when jb was doing their harassing phone calls to Drivers, I told them (in an attempt to get them to leave me alone) that had 4 DWIs in the previous 10 years.
THAT tactic worked and I found out this year that they also make records of all conversations regardless of age.
I'm GLAD I said such since they've FINALLY QUIT calling and pestering me AND I never really ever wanted to work for them anyways.
