Finding the right truck driving job is a deeply personal decision – each driver has unique needs and goals for their driving career. At J.B. Hunt, we know that having a job you enjoy and one that helps add value to your life outside of work is important. That’s something our drivers know a thing or two about! Keep reading to learn why drivers continue to choose J.B. Hunt.
1. J.B. Hunt Drivers Know Home Time
Did you know more than 90% of J.B. Hunt company drivers are home daily or weekly?
We offer a variety of job types across our Dedicated, Intermodal, Truckload and Final Mile Services® divisions, and our driver recruitment team is ready to help match you with the driving job that fits your experience level and home time needs. Family is a top priority for Javi, an intermodal driver with J.B. Hunt, so having a local driving job that gets him home every day was a game-changer for him.
“Being home with the family, it’s something I appreciate. Over the road, you don’t get that much time back home. But me being home every day, it’s what counts, being with the family,” he said. “You get there, you get home. You relax. You don’t have to worry about your job or driving anything. You’re just spending time with the family. That’s the best part of being an intermodal driver.”
2. J.B. Hunt Drivers Know Support
From our driver trainers to our management teams, new J.B. Hunt drivers often feel a sense of community from day one. Our drivers are among the best in the industry, and trainers like Gary help us provide the support our drivers need to truly excel in their careers.
“Well, I just got to really say that I love it here at J.B. Hunt. I love the environment, the people, the management, the team of people I work with. They do an awesome job here. I just love it,” he said. “Basically, if I didn’t have people I can go to and talk to freely … I probably wouldn’t be a good trainer. But since I can, I talk to them, they listen to me, they respect me and I respect them. That’s the key, is being respected.”
3. J.B. Hunt Drivers Know Stability
Our drivers know what it means to have access to freight that keeps them moving. In 2021, we surpassed 100,000 intermodal containers in our 100% company-owned fleet, which helps us provide more driving opportunities for drivers. Being part of a company that continues to see growth means everything to Dell, an intermodal driver.
“Our services are very important because customers need freight regardless of what’s going on in the world. We need to move furniture. We need to move everything you can imagine,” he said. “America needs services like us to keep the household running, to keep everything going. In other words, transportation never shuts down, ever.”
