The Information We Collect About You and How We Use It

If you are interested in an opportunity with J.B.

By submitting your contact information to us, you give your express consent to be contacted by J.B. Hunt or its representatives for any employment or contracting opportunities that may arise.

If J.B.

J.B. Hunt will retain this information for the entire duration of your relationship with J.B. Hunt, and for as long thereafter as permitted or required by applicable law.

If you submit information through an online pre-qualification form but are not hired or contracted, J.B. Hunt will retain such information for four years after the end of the calendar year in which the information was submitted. These records will be retained for our internal recordkeeping and reporting purposes. During that time, we may use your information to consider you for positions in addition to the position(s) for which you initially expressed interest.

If you apply for employment by J.B. Hunt, you will have the opportunity to provide information that we are required to request by federal law, including information about your gender, race or ethnic origin, veteran status, and whether you are an individual with a disability. The provision of this information is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to provide it, your application(s) will not be affected in any way. If you choose to provide information, we will not use it for any employment decision. We will use that information only in the aggregate for equal employment opportunity purposes.

For contests, contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes, and may be used for other purposes, if specified. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this Site and J.B. Hunt services. J.B. Hunt may use third-party services to administer surveys through the Site or through links to external websites or applications. Your participation in surveys administered by third parties is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of such third parties.

Third-Party Sites

The Site may contain links to third-party sites. Your use of each of those sites is subject to the conditions, if any, that each of those sites has posted.

The inclusion on our site of any third-party content, or a link to a third-party site, is not an endorsement of that content or third-party site.

Security

We want you to feel confident about using the Site, so we have implemented a security program to keep information that is transmitted to our systems protected from unauthorized access. Your submissions of information to our secure server are protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, utilized by most popular browsers to safeguard transmissions. This technology allows us to use encryption tools to protect information transmitted between your computer and our server. Through encryption, the personal information you enter, including your name, address, and Social Security number (if requested), is converted into code that is then securely dispatched over the Internet. Once our secure server receives your encrypted personal information, it is translated back into its original form and stored in our off-line database. After we have received your information, access to it is limited to those with a need to know.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you submit through the Site, and you do so at your own risk. We urge you to use common sense when providing personal information online, particularly when using public or shared computers.
