JB Hunt Transport, Lowell, AR Liars and Thieves Lowell Arkansas

 I am now Bankrupt and Homeless, no thanks to JB Hunt Transport

This was my 2nd Go-Round with JB Hunt Transport....(02/2012-05/2013)

I left them in 2006 due to Low, Sub-Standard Miles....I turned in my equipment at the Forest Park, Ga Terminal (on Thursday)  When attending Orientation for another company the following Monday, it was noted on my DAQ Report that I had "Abandoned Equipment".....After several phone calls and the threat of a Lawsuit, JB Hunt Corp changed their report to DAQ.

Dec 2011, a JB Hunt recruiter contacted me, offering me a guaranteed $1,200.00 weekly...When I arrived at Forest Park, Ga for Orientation, I was only offered .36cpm with a 12 day Board....  After picking up my equipment at Louisville, Ky the following week, Substandard Miles was the norm.....1,600 was the average, not the 2,500 I was promised....This dug into my savings account to pay bills...

Home-Time: this was a joke....I agreed to accept a 12 day board...12 days out and two days Off....only three times in 18 months did they get me home as agreed....After 40+ days and threats to resign did dispatch make an effort to get me home, and then it was for only 4 days max.

Equipment, old, and faulty to say the least.  I would make notations on daily Equipment Status Reports regarding equipment faults found during Pre-Trip Inspections, but they were ignored until something drastic happened, then it was charged as Driver at Fault....example: 02/2013, I reported the 5th wheel not engaging/locking onto the King-Pin...again, these reports were ignored....until a trailer came off the tractor and landed on retracted Dollies...I was charged with a preventable accident.

May 2013, while at a shipper in PA, I picked up a load intended for another driver....Auto Group msg'd me to return that load and wait for my load.   I was accused of damaging property (ripping 2 steel posts out of ground) while turning around. After delivering that load to Louisville, Ky,  I was terminated due to this alleged accident.   JB Hunt did not make an effort to get me home.

Unemployment Benefits:  When I filed for Unemployment Benefits, the claim was denied, due to "Intentional Poor Job Performance"...I appealed the decision.  During the Appeal, the ruling was amended to "Misconduct" because "I didn't get out and Look" when turning around,  the claim was again denied.

JB Hunt Transport is NOT a Good Place for Drivers to work,  it was a hostile workplace,
