JB HUNT Telephone harrassing calling two to three times an week for one year in an effort to recruit, ripoff Lowell Arkansas
JB HUNT Called me two and somtimes three times every week for one year to recruit me as an owner operator. For example, JB Hunt promissed to pay 65% of line haul=65%=$1.5 per mile up to $1.8c.p.m. and guaranteed 5 pre plans sent every twent four hours and 2700 loaded miles each week.
I returned to JB hunt and the first weeks JBhunt almost did as the recruiters claimed. I ran two load one from shreveport la to Buena park ca. 1618 rand mcnally miles{JB Hunt also promissed to pay rand mcnally miles} The load payed 1550 loaded miles the shaved version of rand mcnally miles line haul was 2200 paid to me I was very happy.
The next load was from riverside ca to oklahoma city it paid $1.15 c.p.m. for 1260 miles. for the first week I net income was $1995 I was happy for one week. The second week JB Hunt reveled the ugly truth about their company and the reason I left them two times befor. For example, JB hunt tries to force owner operators to work for slave labor 99% of all loads pay $.90 c.p.m and no fuel surcharge they only want to run you 1500. miles per week at $.90 c.p.m. and they only send you one or sometimes two pre plans each day.
JB Hunt treats ownner operators like the are an slave and try to lie about everything, JB Hunt can falsify DAC to make owner operator unhirable so they are forced into an life of slavery at JB HUNT.Falsifying safty incedens and Accident. What JB Hunt calls an accident is not DOT Recordable.
Jb Hunt like many other trucking companies is trying to take in owner operators under false pretenses lieing to them and then trying to falsify safty incident and accident report in an effort so no one else can hire them forcing then to stay at JB Hunt ,and paying only $.90 c.p.m. and no fuel surcharge at 1500 miles each week so trying creat bad debt to the company and askin the owner operator to sign over their real estate to JB HUNT to cover bad debt. JB Hunt is an slave camp. JB Hunt is also forcing dispatch at $.90 c.p.m. or you get no load at all.

NOT an owner operator. That's the problem.

The problems here are as obvious as the misconceptions. First of all, to TRULY be an "owner operator" you need to have your own authority. Then you are responsible for your own success or failure and answer to no one. You WERE NOT an owner operator at JB HUNT. You were LEGALLY a LEASE DRIVER. Nothing more. The second problem is signing any "lease" for a % of the line haul. Common sense would tell you this. You cannot run your equipment for .90cpm. The average cost just to run your equipment down the road empty is at least $1.25 per mile. Think about this. Fuel alone at $2.75/Gal at 4mpg overall avg including idling, costs you approx .69cpm. Thats just fuel! So how can you haul .90cpm frieght? You CAN'T! For you, the driver to make even .30cpm you can NEVER haul a load for less than $1.55 per mile. Even then it is tight. You really need at least $1.75 per mile frieght to still make the same or less as a company driver. This takes into consideration your out of route, deadhead and unpaid miles. NEVER sign a contract for a % of the line haul unless a minimum rate to the truck is guaranteed. Big fleets can do this, barely, but not 1 person with 1 truck. You have to get your rate on every load, or you will lose money. If you want to call yourself an OWNER OPERATOR, go get your own operating authority, your own insurance, equipment, etc. and pay all of your own compliance items and fuel and maintenence, repairs, etc. And book and bill all of your own loads, wait 30-90 days for your money, etc. NOW you are an owner operator.
