J.B. Hunt Undercover- Day #1 No Bathroom in Muskogee




Today, Mike Taylor and Rodney Collins departed the Lowell, Arkansas yard with great anticipation.  Mike and Rodney will be spending the next week together in one of our trucks.  We will be sharing information about their trip as they see shippers, truck stops, terminals, and receivers.

Day #1 included a short deadhead to Muskogee, Oklahoma.  Rodney is dispatched on a load from Muskogee to Jacksonville, Florida.  The load was ready within 1 hour of arrival (when they first arrived there was a concern about the load being ready as scheduled).  The other hiccup the guys had to deal with was facilities that are not friendly to our drivers.  The restroom was out of order in the only area drivers have to sit and wait for loads to get ready.

 
 
When the guys tried to utilize Navigo they found something interesting related to fuel stop data:
 
 
It is doubtful that we have no fuel stops between Muskogee and Jacksonville.  This is a glitch that we will be looking into tomorrow.   We are testing everything associated with the quality of dispatch and treatment our drivers receive internally and externally.
 
 
Tomorrow will bring interesting information as the truck starts making its way east.
