This is a good company for new drivers. The dispatchers are nice people they always keep you moving, the pay structure is activity-based. Pretty good benefits and k.

Pros vacation time. Pay is average. Management wants you to succeed. Lots of new policies Would never work there again. Forced to work when tired or sick. Family does NOT matter.

Left to sit on side of road for 12 hours or more waiting for road service. Company as a whole is sneaky and undermining. Team leaders care about the employees at first but when discovered they get reprimanded and have to stop or get fired. Pros new trucks. Hunt is a good place to work and start or career or to jump start another. They will take the time to train in new positions. Pros Management. Cons Compensation. So when there is a change in manager it is as though you changed the company you work for.

Pros Great people to work with. Cons Not knowing the motives of your managers. In my role within ICS Integrated Capacity Solutions I am tasked with procuring capacity for multiple accounts and providing excellent communication on driver eta's and ensuring on time delivery of customers freight. The atmosphere is great, however; during slower seasons within the freight market may have you sitting idle.

Atmosphere is great, a lot of younger people tend to work the brokerage division at J. You can regularly see people throwing darts at each other, tossing footballs. Teams coordinate potlucks. Pros Lots of freedom within your role. Good benefits. Cons Management is very hands off. Advancement is slow. Pretty great. Pros: New challenges every day, a lot of leeway in how to solve them.

Cons: Working with older technologies. Ok needs work. Cons: they dictate my lively hood. Intermodal Truck Driver:. Pros: Flexible schedule, they are willing to work with you. Management is not bad. Most customers are regulars. Cons: Extremely tight backing at yard. One way in one way out train blocks you at least twice a day, very frustrating At times. Slow pay At times for weeks.

Truck parking is tight. Yard visibility at night is bad. Overly crowded yard with very limit space to Maneuver. Freight Handling. Pros: The team is pretty good, everyone's chill and helpful everyone except my manager. Cons: My manager's really uptight, has me work through lunch sometimes and has performance reviews when I'm on lunch as well.

Its about a mile drive for me so im just gonna swap my pickup for my daughters saturn and drive myself. Since they offered a bus ticket Im working on getting reimbursed for the drive but havent heard back yet and kinda doubtfull that will happen.

Just a little bit about me. Im not a brand new driver but only have had my cdl for 14 months. This is a second carreer for me because up untill the summer of i was a golf course superintendent for 18 years. My course was turned to houses and i went on to large golf cart distributer and was there for 2. From what im being told its not like im gonna be living in the truck so definately not like the hardcore OTR'ers out there anyways.

Made the drive and checked in late. Initially I was really worried about the bait and switch but what helped a lot was when the fleet or account manager can't remember what title he told me from Mission contacted me with a local phone number saying he saw I'm on the orientation list and asked me if I have any questions.

Either Thursday the 25th or Saturday the 27th. Since I was told I wasn't leaving in a truck I drove thinking that if it all went to pot I could just bolt outa here real quick. Day 1 orientation went well. Kinda like closing on a house, lots of signatures. Watched a few videos. Those pr guys earn there pay. Did urinalicist and folical sample plus a light personal performance physical test. Went over beni's and perks. They have a drivers legal plan that's pretty interesting.

Basically a DOT lawyer retainer program. So far so good. Also I lucked out. My roommate sprung for his own room so I have a single for no charge. When I arrived it was late and the desk girl said she doubted anyone would show up after me.

There is only 4 of us here. The food is great also. Nice full breakfast buffet and the lunch was very good too. This is a full banquet facillity.

Chef and all. Finally I'm still very pleased with what I'm being told about the account I'm going too. If there is anyone reading this that lives in Iowa you should check into the regional intermodal out of Cedar Rapids. Being told it's the highest avg pay in all of JBH. Have to have a Iowa license. Day 2 went good. Did a 93 on the road test. Just went for a quick spin. Think they just want to see you use your mirrors, signal, turn, and change lanes properly.

Need to be comfortable with a clutch. You can float shift but they want to make sure you can double clutch, and downshift properly. Had to back into a spot at a truck stop but the place was a ghost town plus it was a giant place.

Intermodal guys have to do a jackknife alley dock style backup. If you've driven at all it's a piece of cake. More paperwork, videos, and safety training. Since our class is so small were gonna be done by lunch tomorrow. We did lose a guy today. Have no idea why.

I'm really curious what's on the JBH orientation thread so I'm gonna finally read it. I can tell you my experience has been just fine. Boring in a lot of ways but I would think any company has to show you all the safety vids, and all the procedural stuff. I think the two other guys were lied too bye a recruiter about hometime but how is that a surprise? So far what I was told has been legit. I did have more interaction with people in JBHs safety department than I did with my recruiter cuz of something I knew I had on my psp.

I needed some assurances before I gave notice to my last job. If ur looking for a job just be sure you get a copy of your psp befor you start applying with anybody and if something is iffy on it have the recruiter get you to the safety department right away and talk to them.

That should avoid any surprises at orientation. For me everything got checked and signed off by quality control before i get to orientation and I suspect that is most common.

I don't know how common it is to talk with the actual fleet account manager you are going too but that help calm my nerves a ton. All done with orientation and home.

Final day went fast and we finished just after lunch. Very good instructer. We trained on their people net system. It's the e-logs and tons of other stuff. Little confusing now but I'm sure after a couple of training days it will make my life easier. Speaking of training I start tomorrow.
