Former Employee – worked at J.B. Hunt full-time for more than a year

Pros – great company, good pay rate, friendly staff who is very helpful for drivers

Cons – some drivers seem to get more miles and the owner/operators get preference over company drivers from what I saw. Company drivers do a lot of sitting and waiting for loads. Load miles too short, Not many loads over 250 miles. That is J B Hunt way of doing business. They take the short loads no other company wants and they are making money. It is just not great for a driver! Mostdrivers like

Advice to Senior Management – Maybe they can look at getting more long mile loads. Things may have changed since I was there.
