J.B. Hunt Drivers Know Daily Home Time 

Finding a schedule that would help him prioritize time with family and friends was important to Michael.  “I went into trucking knowing that I wanted to do local just because I wanted to be able to still hang out with my friends, my family, as much as I could,” he explained. “So, I love trucking, but then I also love being home every night and still having a regular life other than being on the road.” 

Thanks to his local driving job in our Dedicated division, Michael has been able to find the balance he was looking for between his work and his personal life.
