JB Hunt No miles... not enough to make a living E. Brunswick New Jersey
I work for JB Hunt, seems like the same old complaints. in 2 months I haven't driven past 1500 miles and have gone as little as 500 miles.. I do not believe these people! you sit all weekend at a truck stop or terminal and when you do drive, it's mostly short hauls. Talked to different drivers and 8 out 10 have the same complaint. No miles, screwed up home time and no way to combat the situation.
Some may say "talk to your fleet manager" that is no help believe you me!
Came back to the trucking industry in hopes of catching up and paying some bills, nothing but headaches and finacial hardship in 6 months. One more month try for me ( home 1week because no truck available after forced 4 days off ) and hanging it up if no improvement.

You didn't say what you did for Jb . OTR , local , regional , dedicated ?? If you've been on that job for the 60 days you say you have enough time in house to transfer to a different account . You don't have to ask your fleet manager for permission to switch , just call the NE Regional manager named Susan B. and she'll take care of the rest . There are other boards that are still humping , and as a current driver you get first dibs on the openings . Someone should have told you this already . Good luck .
