Seems Fair, Don't You Think?

I received this note tonight from one of our Professional Drivers.  Check out his comment:

 

I am still having trouble getting detention pay in a timely manner. You should at least be able to get detention on a load the same week you get paid for a load, don't you think?


We will find out what caused the delay in our detention pay process.  We responded to our employee tonight.

Hiring Our Heroes-Cleveland, Ohio

 

Earlier this month one of our Midwest drivers Daniel Byers participated in the 'Hiring our Heroes' job fair in Cleveland, OH. Dan and our wrapped truck were the center of attention at the event. Dan related to the attendees being a military veteran himself and had a lot of fun talking to all the potential J.B. Hunt drivers. Good job, Dan and thank you for representing us well at the event!

You Talked, We Listened

Our Southgate, California facility is one of the highest traffic terminals in the J.B. Hunt system.  We visited the site late last year and saw many signs of wear and tear.  We also talked to our employees about what was important to them as far as amenities and efficiencies.  Check out the past and the future below:

   This is our terminal operations center.  It also houses our bathrooms, showers, maintenance offices, and our tractor and trailer facility.

  Our driver lounge left a lot to be desired.

Our bathrooms and shower areas were tired.

In two weeks your new, modern facility will be open for use. 

 Our facility will match the wonderful people who support our business in Southern California.

 The tube television propped up by the vending machines is now retired.  Welcome to the 21st century with a flat screen gracing our walls. 

Our vending area will be a source of nourishment and pride!

 

 

 

Still Don't Believe In Chatter?

We now have a tool to increase the communication from our drivers.  How cool is it for us to be able to receive information about our equipment, customers, and other areas for improvement?

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream!

It is hot here in Northwest Arkansas this week.  To bring relief to our valuable Truckload employees we delivered an ice cream bar at 2:00 today.  Kristi Tosh and Katie Reeves helped scoop the ice cream and organized the entire event.  Thank You Ladies!

 

Jesse Is In The House

We had a special guest visit us in Lowell, Arkansas today.  We asked Jesse Thompson, one of our Independent Contractors, to help produce a modern video for recruitment purposes.  Jesse was originally a Lease Purchase driver who purchased his tractor.  He has some great ideas around revenue generation.  He is also a wonderful recruiter for us in the IC group.  He also values his relationship with his Fleet Manager Mark Brissey.  He also loves the shop facilities in Lowell, Arkansas and North Little Rock, Arkansas.  Jesse is a pleasure to be around and we are lucky to have such a great contractor helping small business women and men that dream of owning their own truck.
