Home Time
You can count on more than the driving jobs of the past! We believe that providing a better job gives you a better life, and that means we work hard to get our drivers home to what matters most. In fact, over 90% of our drivers are home daily or weekly, which means more time off to do what you love.
Because J.B. Hunt is an industry leader in intermodal, dedicated services and last-mile delivery, you can find a career with us. Whether you want to be home every night or out on the open road, we feel confident you can find a job that fits your lifestyle and helps you reach your goals.
Career Path
Your career should grow with you and give you room for change and advancement. A commitment to putting our people in the right position coupled with a promote-from-within culture, we set members of our J.B. Hunt team up for success.
We accomplish this by giving drivers the opportunity to move into roles that better fit their skillsets or schedule needs through our Driver Transfer Portal or by moving into driver trainer, safety or non-driver roles. When you drive with J.B. Hunt, you’re driving alongside an entire network of people dedicated to your success.

We strive to ensure that our drivers feel welcome and connected by cultivating a team environment and through programs like our employee resource groups (ERGs), training and continued education.
We have seven ERGs that help drivers and non-driver employees connect with people who have similar interests and backgrounds, make an impact in the community, as well as introduce them to coworkers they may not meet in their day-to-day routine.

With onsite management, fellow drivers to help train, local maintenance and safety teams and an open-door policy all the way to the executive level, you can drive knowing you have people you can trust backing you.

You work hard to keep our country moving, so we work hard to provide you with competitive benefits that can make a difference for you and your family. From medical insurance and parental leave to mental health, retirement and more, there are big benefits to driving with J.B. Hunt.
When you enroll in medical, dental and vision insurance, you are eligible for coverage after only 30 days of full-time employment.

Stability
J.B. Hunt was founded in 1961 by Johnnie Bryan, a former truck driver, and his wife, Johnelle Hunt. For over six decades, focusing on big ideas and people has kept our company not only surviving but thriving. We recognize how important it is for us to show our drivers that when they drive with us, they can rely on our company as much as we rely on them. We were founded by a driver, so we understand just how crucial our drivers are to our continued growth and success within the industry. Our freight volume and equipment, our tools and our capacity to deliver keep our customers coming back and keep our drivers moving.
J.B. Hunt Truck Driver Pay
Your money belongs to you, and we offer drivers the visibility to see what they can expect from their upcoming paychecks through our innovative technology. As a J.B. Hunt company driver, you will get your check on the same day, every week, directly to your account through direct deposit.
Along with a consistent paycheck, our drivers are eligible for service awards, safety awards and bonuses and celebrations to show our appreciation.
Driver Appreciation
Our employee drivers keep us moving and growing. They deserve a company that not only tells them they are appreciated but shows them. With programs like Adopt-a-Class, annual service and safety awards, our famous Million Mile celebrations and an entire month of Truck Driver Appreciation events every September, our drivers know we're driven for them.
