JB Hunt Completed Orientation then sent home with not truck Lowell Arkansas

Hello, I just want to say what JB did to me.. twice! I went to orientation last week 7/20/09-7/23/09. I passed everything was given my comdata card, toll card for ohio and my little letter saying i was qualified to drive for JB. Well on Wednesday 7/23/09 about 4:30 in the afternoon they took all the otr and regional guys in a room and said you passed orientation but we are sending you home because we have no trucks. What no trucks!? Why did they send us to orientation if they had no available trucks for us. The only people that got trucks were the guys for DCS Accounts. Then to top it all off we had to find our own way home. I live in the detroit area and we were in columbus,oh. Why should we have to find our own way home?? They should have at least paid for a bus ticket as they did for getting down there. I could see if I failed my drug, or road test or did something wrong but I did not. I would have drove my own car but was told no you cant you will be in a truck on Wed or Thurs. So I found someone to come and get me, now I still have no truck. Called today they sd sorry no trucks yet. Back in Sept of last year the same thing happend except I was at the local terminal and I drove to orientation daily. I figured I would give it another shot since I am laid off right now and need work and I got burned again. So this is just to let other people know what happend to me. I will update this post if and when i get a truck or find another company to drive for.
