J.B. Hunt Transport Employer Reviews

constanly answering phones, checking on previous inquiries, answering for own decisions. i learned that no matter what decision is made someone will always see a better decision to be made. management will not back your every decision however if you consulte with them before decisions are made they will stand behind their decisions.co-workers were very – more...  pleasant and fun to be around always smiling no matter what the day unfolded.the hardest part of the job is the micro-management to many chiefs not enough indians. the most enjoyable part of the day is when you know you made the right decisions and everyone is happy. – less

great company to work for. i was just attached to a account where i was not getting enough miles.

My biggest issue working for JB Hunt, was that I hadn't driven in quite a while. When I went through the orientation process, I didn't legitimately pass my road test, instead I was told that I would be at the correct percentage the following day. I then had to beg to retest. They still put me out on the road. The first few days were rough and stressful, – more...  but I survived without an accident. I eventually told them that I didn't feel safe driving. Luckily for me, my significant other was willing to help me out, so they allowed us to drive together, so that I could learn the ropes again.
The miles were iffy at best, but the pay is high. Management doesn't communicate effectively on a consistent basis. This was my experience, I know there are many. – less

JB Hunt was a good experience for me. During my time with JB Hunt I drove the southeast region. My duties were to drive safely to customers and most of the time drop their freight and hook to an empty trailer. This was also a good company to work for.

Enjoyed working for J B. At the end of 1999 half of the account was taken over by J B Road Drivers. I didn't have enough seniority to stay.

rail to rail good co-workers company will mess up your DAC report

I drove over the road in the Southeast region. Typically you are away from your home and family for about 1 1/2 weeks. It can be very dangerous when resting at various Truck stops. Driving in different climate of weather. A driver will have alot time to think when on the road alone.

Being with this company on and off since 2003 I have seen this company change with the times as we have had to do in the ever changing logistics business, ALthough the changes as with most company's is not in the drivers favor. As a driver i am the front line and should be respected more than I am. I appreciate the hard work that goes into finding and – more...  booking freight. Transportation companies should seek more people who have been on the front line. Who better to work with than someone who has had the experience of the other side? There are drivers who would make great office personel and are open minded to every situation and weights the risk such as myself. Overall I feel the corperate changes that affect the day to day operations are important and have been effective. We all work together as a team and if there isn't someone that is willing to work with the team they should be emliminated from the team and seek other oppertunity's. – less

GOOD PAYING COMPANY , BUT NOT ENOUGH MILES, AVERAGE MILES 2000 A WEEK WITH THEM AND , SLIP SEAT IF U WANT MORE THEN 2 DAYS OFF

They start you out with great pay, good home time, but then after a few months things start to dwindle. Not good runs, no miles, have to sit at center waiting for load. Service on trucks was a joke, gave me a differant one to use while mine was in shop, had to call service to grt it started at the service yard and then it broke down going down the road, – more...  so I was out of work any way and then when I did get my truck back they had removed all my personal things. Big company, felt like I was just a number. With family dallor everything stacked on the floor hand unload, always the heavy things on top of the breakable or lighter stuff – less

deliver appliances and install
i learned alot of safety/laws
management is not good they have no idea of the field we work in

hardest part of job is the drive to and from 65 miles one way

break rooms are set up for the drivers to be able to finish there paper with no prolbems

Would work for again, if I still had my cdl. Enjoyed driving. Great pay

Could treat there employee's better They do not stick to there word they will tell you anything to get you in the door

i was an employ and got fired for being in the damage path of the fultondale tornado last april,2011. they treat you horrible and dont care if you see your family ever!

While being a good company, it's main issues are within the management dept.. I enjoyed working with my fellow co-workers, the shop and facility are a good and clean workplace. However, management routinely micromanages all the way down from the regional director to the shift foreman. Work is based off of standard repair times, if you go over 1 minute – more...  you are given a warning and after that can be fired for the same or different offense. Management is selective as to who these policies apply to and what policies they enforce. Management is never consistent with regards to policy or procedure. It can be very difficult to get time off regardless to how much time you have accrued or whether you are a salary employee it is totally a shot in the dark. Shift schedules are day and night shift either Sun-Thur or Tues- Sat. except for special employee's. – less

not good they say one thing and do another . they tryed to mess me over. they tryed to mess me over coming off hometime. many. then if theyu run a load to lerado , you best believe you will sit down there a two or more day making no money waiting for loads to pass custom and your name goes on a list of driver that are already waiting on loads.

not truthful about their positions. consisently uses deception.

IT'S OK TO THERE, PROVIDED YOU ARE PREPARED TO BE "SAFETYED " TO DEATH. THIS COMPANY IS SO FOCUSED ON SAFETY THAT IT ALMOST DANGEROUS. YOU CAN WORK WITH MOST DRIVERS AND SHPRS/RCVRS, BUT MANAGEMENT IS A WHOLE 'NOTHER BALL GAME.

If you want to drive truck it is a fantastic company with many different opportunities. They always treated me professionally and I never felt like a number.
