As a driver, you know how quickly the transportation industry can change. And you know it’s important to drive with a company that can meet those changes head on and offer you stability. Over the years, we have not just met challenges but have excelled, and we believe our people give us the best advantage in our industry.

The resilience of our people has driven us to excellence for more than 60 years, and we're committed to investing in our people, because we’re Driven for You™.

Drive With Us

Decades of Dedication

Drivers like you know just how important safety is in your day-to-day job. For us, safety isn’t just something we talk about – it's a priority. The safety culture our people have built requires dedication from every member of our team. Thanks to the hard work of our people, we’ve celebrated back-to-back record-breaking safety performances. And our drivers are an essential part of this.

Steve, a regional driver, has been with J.B. Hunt for 36 years. In that time, he has surpassed five million safe miles, joining a very small and very prestigious group of J.B. Hunt drivers who have achieved that milestone. Our Million Mile award is our biggest safety award, and Steve’s achievement is one of the most distinguished accomplishments in our industry. 

 

“Maintaining excellence in safety is a responsibility that we take on together. Our shared values, beliefs and actions foster a supportive environment for our drivers and all employees, allowing safe operation to be a main focus.” 

Greer Woodruff
Executive Vice President, Safety, Sustainability and Maintenance

Technology That Empowers

Our technology empowers our people to make smarter, faster decisions that keep us moving forward. And our drivers and maintenance teams know firsthand what it takes to keep moving.

Jerry, one of our maintenance technicians, used technology to transform his day-to-day work. By using a diagnostic tool to efficiently narrow down potential issues, he made troubleshooting faster and more accurate. And now, the extra time he would have spent identifying the problem can be used to do the repair, creating efficiency and getting our drivers back on the road quicker. 

These examples of our people utilizing our technology to drive excellence are just part of our story as we focus on helping our teams work more purposefully and efficiently.

Big Ideas Drive Big Impact

Our people ask smart questions, challenge assumptions and find better ways to get things done. Our people are the source of our best ideas, and those ideas drive real impact. A big way our drivers can contribute to this impact is through our ELEVATION program. Through ELEVATION, we encourage our people to identify areas of waste, uncover unnecessary costs or discover ways to be more efficient. Over the past decade, our people have submitted more than 33,000 ideas through this program.

Ken, a local intermodal driver, submitted an ELEVATION idea to streamline scaling loads that would utilize our existing technology. Ken’s decades of driving experience is invaluable, and his industry expertise is something we trust to help make us better. We’re dedicated to supporting our drivers in their career and growth, just as they’re committed to pushing us forward.

The Road Ahead

Resilience is what drives us to excellence year after year. And through collaboration, innovation and new ideas, our drivers deliver excellence every day.
