So-So
Truck DRiver(OTR) (Former Employee), Lowell, AR – May 22, 2013
First few years were great.The dispatcher and I was working as a team.What I learn was to never ask for a few days off so I could rest and see my wife and kids.The management was only worried about money.The hardest part of the job was being out three to four weeks and only getting two days off.The best part was coming home seeing the family.

Good company to work for
Driver (Former Employee), Lowell, AR – May 14, 2013
Like any other big trucking company, they service as many customers. They have different divisions, which one can transfer to using a bidding process based on seniority, if they so desire, after a certain period of time with the company. Along with amenities, such as showers, a driver lounge and employee parking.

Productive
Professional Truck Driver (Former Employee), Lowell, AR – May 7, 2013
Pros: good equipment, proffessional and knowledgable staff, interesting runs, diverse employees
Cons: runs had to much time
JB Hunt is a very good company to work for as a solo. But not as a team. They have very good lanes with lots of time on them. The staff are very friendly and helpful with any questions or concerns. The dispatchers are very reliable and understanding. People of diverse background and cultures make for an interesting place to work. The runs within its – more... self were very educational, and at times full of adventure. I enjoyed working with this company. – less

I have learned how to work in a stressful high pace work area

High paced work environment.
Manager Trainee/Operations Supervisor (Former Employee), Winchester, VA – April 30, 2013
This job involved a lot of customer service tasks, and learning how to manage people. The account that I was working at had approx. 50 truck drivers. It was a very rewarding job because it was challenging and there was never a break from fixing problems. I enjoyed it and learned a lot while I was there.

Poorly managed company
OTR Company Driver (Former Employee), Lowell, AR – April 24, 2013
Pros: hometime
Cons: not enough miles to justify a decent income.
poorly managed operation.
had five different dispatchers in the first ninety days.
daily harassment over safety whether it was needed or not.
they made you feel self conscious about using the brakes to avoid
an accident or mishap. trucks max speed governed way too low.
they hire you for OTR and the runs are good at the first, but, actually in time they – more... run you with low miles. – less

– April 28, 2013

Very poor dispatch. Your told you can fuel anywhere , when you actually can't. I had to pay for diesel myself and did not get paid back. Slowest moving trucks ever. They want you to be on time with loads, but they will not leave you alone. messages after messages about stupidness that does not concern you. If you don't pay attention to the messages on the Qaulcom, then they send one that says URGENT. Usually it's not. I have had dispatch ask me (What do you want). When I really needed their help. Customers always complaining about the company. Directions suck. Also, dispatch tells drivers you cannot call customer for directions for delivery directions. They sent me down a road that had a low clearance and in a very bad neighborhood in Chicago, IL. The low clearance was not listed in map book. This happened three times. They pull these random drug test on drivers and they treat you like some kid by watching over you, telling you to stay like your some animal . I don't mind being drug tested. they should not treat other human beings like animals. This company tells you one thing and thens states we did not tell you that. They do not stand behind what they say. It constantly changing their minds on what they want you to do.

This company is the worst
Operation supervisor (Former Employee), Dayville ct – April 19, 2013
Cons: everything
Not a great place to work. Very high stress in large volume accounts. Nothing to do in low volume accounts. No middle ground. Absolutely poor training. Drivers are babies.

You are a number but if you work hard they will move you up until you burnout or fail

Operations Supervisor Way over worked
Operations Supervisor (Former Employee), NJ – April 12, 2013
Pros: none come to mind
Cons: management, health care, work/life balance
Management expects you to work 12+ hours a day for low pay. I did the math and I was working for $12 an hour. Admins were making more then me. (hourly employees are only to work 40 hours a week max no over time) Health insurance is horrible. Upper management acts entitled seems to be as soon as someone is promoted they become arrogant and egotistical. – more... It is a kill or be killed environment in the office part of JB Hunt on the east coast. I have heard that working in Lowell AR is a MUCH better experience. They expect you to have no life at all working close to 70 hours a week. – less

This IS a good company to work for.
OTR Driver (Former Employee), All over the US – April 11, 2013
Pros: all good. see review.
Cons: very strict about their rules.
Ignore the whiners, they've got personal problems. Even though they fired me for scraping another truck's bumper in the truck stop ($1150 repair), JB is a fair and honest trucking company, just very strict on the rules and zero tolerance for incidents/accidents. You have got to be the best to work for them, and they give you the best. Well maintained – more... tractors and trailers, good miles, high level of support and communication from dispatch, planners, and management, home time whenever you want or need it. Fair pay, quick and accurate settlements. – less
