Complaint Review: JB HUNT

No company, not even JB Hunt, can claim you have worked for them, if they have not paid you so much as one penny in wages.

It is a legal and swift basis for having any reference by them removed from your DAC report. I assure you, to those who have references on their DAC Report by JB Hunt for terminating or being fired during orientation, other than for issues of failing a drug or alcohol test or for falsification of an entry on an application for employment, if they challenge the entries based on never being paid any wages, the report will be removed, and without putting up a fight. USIS is well aware of this too.

The guy that went back and took the $350.00 now has no beef if they keep the negative issue of quitting during orientation alive. He took some pay from them.

If one does quit during orientation, and it is not removed for some reason, writing up a simple letter of explanation as to the exact reason you did not follow through with the process of signing on with them will do wonders to head off any negative connotation offered by JB Hunt.

For example, "I decided early on during the orientation process that key aspects of the job were misrepresented to me by a recruiter, and the job offered was not the one I was led to believe I was getting with the company"

"I applied for a regional position and was told that only an over-the-road position was available." - or,

"I was led to believe that I was hired for a local position by the recruiter, and was told only after I arrived for orientation that the position had been filled, and that my only option was that I would have to go over-the-road until another slot opened. I was unwilling to do this due to family concerns at the time and decided to seek another local job elsewhere, due to JB Hunt's default in placing me in the position I was led to believe I was hired for."

I just wanted to let you knowyour Dac is only saying you were there. If you read it closely it states " EMPLOYEE QUIT OR WAS TERMINATED IN ORIENTATION'.
There are NO boxes checked. It only says you were there.

ON you next application all you have to put is ......attended orientation only.

You do not have to clear anything with USIS, there isn't really anything there to worry about.

Jb considers you an employee when you submit a job application to them. Just the way they do things.

Jb Hunt did the same thing to me in September 2007. Was in orentation one day.
I found out about in February 2008. Dac stated I had been terminated. NOT SO.

In February 2008, I went back into orentation for Jb. When I did p/w for payroll, the computer said Jb owed me money. Checking into this I found Jb paid $350.00 for their orentation.

The funds were put on the Comdata card, which I had long ago destroyed. A phone call was made to Arkansas and to Comdata, and Jb issued me a check for $350.00 for that one day orientation in September 2007.

If you still have your Comdata card, there is probably $350.00 on waiting for you to collect. Once the funds are put into Comdata, Jb can not take it back. It will stay there for ever. The funds are yours.

Jb does do somethings right, they just dont give you enough miles to survive and the Dm's are real A^%^%$ holes.

You should have let them know about your concerns for the job when you figured it out , but finished orientation . Then they would have termed you " quit " . It really bites that you have to go the extra miles to clear your DAC , but you obviously pissed somebody off . Good luck .
