Does J.B. Hunt have a load board for owner operators?
Our load board has never been easier to access thanks to the J.B. Hunt DRIVE App. In addition to load board access, owner operators contracted with J.B. Hunt can access information about fuel discounts, tire discounts and so much more.
For Daron, it’s hard to choose the best feature in the app.
“It actually simplifies everything to where you don’t have to worry about ‘Hey, I need to call this person, call that person to make sure I get this load.’ It automatically knows that you’re the one that’s available,” he said. “It’s the fact that you can see all of your loads that you can actually book … you don’t necessarily have to be near your truck to get messages or book a load.”
