Hello everybody, Finished up my Orientation Yesterday in Harrisburg Pa. It was very organized and well ran the whole way through. The instructors were very good. It was also one of the toughest. as far as road test and knowledge goes. They do a very comprehensive back ground check. I start on a Dedicated account on Monday. Can't wait to get started....

Another area of local work that interests me is intermodal. There are plenty of those types of jobs in my area. JB Hunt currently offers an intermodal gig w/in 150 miles of Harrisburg, PA (close to where I live), 5 day work week w/ 2 days off. 3 months experience required. Anybody have any experience / thoughts on intermodal?

I drive for JB Hunt in the OTR fleet. They do not have any training to offer. They only hire experienced drivers. As far as the intermodal, I know of a couple of guys that are doing that. They really enjoy the work & home time.

So far my experience with JB has been great.

Thanks Ernie, I start orientation tomorrow morning I'll keep you posted

I am going to orientation for JP Hunt Intermodal in Harrisburg Pa. Everything sounds good, I currently run North East and am looking forward to getting home daily. there are several shifts available. one of the my Days off would be Friday and Saturday the other would Saturday and Sunday. and several other shifts... Wright now I drive for a good company, have an assigned tractor (2013) Out from Late Sunday night Early Monday Morning through Friday. Off Saturday and Sunday. I have already past the background and 10 employment check at Hunt and am good to go. I am a little hesident only because I don't know if what their telling me is all smoke and mirrors of truth ( Recruiters don't lie do they) " As America's #1 intermodal carrier, J.B. Hunt provides steady miles and pay in our intermodal truck driving positions." • Average annual earnings projected at $52,000 - $54,000 • Get home daily with two days off per week • Consistent, hassle-free delivery • Access to express gates at rail yards, getting you on the road faster

I would not have my own assigned tractor and have read a number of negative reviews on Hunt. Not fair to drivers forced dispatch equipment problems etc. but you never know anything about the person writing the review. I would really like some imput from some currently employed drivers from Hunt.

I drove for JB Hunt for a year and a half. Never had them lie to me yet. If you will be driving a day cab you will be home everyday. Every yard I went to were full of day cabs on the weekends which means drivers were at home. The ad you copy and pasted sounds right and pretty consistent with what I saw when I was near a major yard that did Intermodal.

Thanks for the feed back. I actually went buy the harrisburg yard today and waz able tospeak with the gentaman in the safty department. Sound good. He was very upfront about the possission and what is expected of me and how the intermodel job. Thanks again Jax.
