Current Employee – been working at J.B. Hunt full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – JB Hunt is an aggressively growing company that affords competent people the chance for quick advancement. The executive management team has set their sights high and continue to deliver. JB Hunt promotes from within and appears to take care of the people who stick with them.

Cons – The company is internally segmented into four divisions that sometimes seem to clash and the pay structure doesn't provide incentive for operations to work together.

Former Employee – worked at J.B. Hunt full-time for more than a year

Pros – great company, good pay rate, friendly staff who is very helpful for drivers

Cons – some drivers seem to get more miles and the owner/operators get preference over company drivers from what I saw. Company drivers do a lot of sitting and waiting for loads. Load miles too short, Not many loads over 250 miles. That is J B Hunt way of doing business. They take the short loads no other company wants and they are making money. It is just not great for a driver! Mostdrivers like

Advice to Senior Management – Maybe they can look at getting more long mile loads. Things may have changed since I was there.

Former Employee – worked at J.B. Hunt

Pros – I worked in the offices at a dedicated contract services account as an Operations Supervisor, and was the only JBH employee on-site. I was very satisfied with the flexibility given to me in my position, as well as the compensation and benefits. My manager(s) were all very professional and courteous.

Cons – I never really had a true downside, but I was on midnight shift. This sometimes complicated how and when to contact someone for assistance in the event of a PC issue or otherwise.

Advice to Senior Management – I have no advice to offer. JB Hunt was a fantastic company to work for, and I would gladly work for them again in the future.
