JB Hunt is a colaboration of corporate maggotts that keep freight rates and fuel surcharges LOW for every other company out there trying to compete.

JB,Schneider and Swift used to have the Highest turn over rate for drivers in the industry but since they all got away from Cab over trucks and went to conventional walk in sleeper trucks they seemed to get better to work for.You don't hear as much negativvity as you used to. If I had to choose from the three it would probably be Schneider first and then JB secondly..But I can not be more specific about either one.I run a lot of Home Depots for LASCO and met a lot of Schneider and JB drivers and the ones I met seemed to like the companys they worked for.JB from what I gathered was mostly dedicated regional. Hope that helped some.
