Do you need a Twic card before jump to intermodal
No you don’t
Are you still there
Not at JB. I’m now at Walmart since May of this year.
Hi Moses, great job on the video, and great job with all of those refrigerated containers. You are very lucky to be around those, as for me, it's hard finding these here in the Chicago area standing still. Some of the places where I ride my bicycle, I have no problem at all, finding the dry containers, DCS trailers, and the 360 box trailers. But refrigerated containers for when they were built, good luck. The dry containers are doing very good. This past Saturday, I saw container 331360. I didn't know that the containers were even numbered that high. The highest one that I had at the time, was container 330324. On Monday, I saw container 330747. Also too, this past week I saw some Wabash National containers. J B Hunt is still using these, and actually one location where I ride my bicycle to look for some containers, Wabash National 222298 and 225344 were dropped off at the same place. Another location that I go to had 224159 dropped off there too. It's really a lot of fun riding around looking for containers and trailers.
I just got a offer from jb hunt, is it worth the time?
@@RalphJones121792 Yes, J B Hunt is a good company to work for. They are also adding containers, trailers, and refrigerated containers.
I just finished my first week by myself, and it was excellent here in Jersey City , New Jersey, the dispatchers here are very helpful, one thing I don't like is trying to find an empty container,it sucks when you are wasting time
Congratulations on your first week. It will get easier. We all don’t like looking for empties because as you said, we don’t make make that way. As you get to know the customers, you will learn the places to that you have more luck finding one.
@@driversuccess yes I already know a couple places with lots of empties
This is how companies like JB Hunt get over on drivers...spending all that time goofing around trying to find trailers, then spending hours at a shipper trying to get the load....hourly is the way to go
I start intermodal next month with jb hunt, I'm switching from an OTR job.
Welcome to JB
@@driversuccess yea really looking forward to being home every night
Soo???
I used work right over there at that brothers produce for 2 years
Good mosses 🤝
Nice 11.5 hours 👌🏻
Haha that Kraft facility in Fort Worth is my home load lol.
Mr. Moses I suppose to start in that division next week is Ms Susan still the MGR?
Sorry for the late reply. No Susan left the company
You also go to the same facility in Garland I go to when I go back out on the road lolol
Moses when are you making another video on how you make your Tea ? 😼
😂😂😂 I will sure do make one
@@driversuccess 😂😂 Thanks bro !! 🥂
Detailed videos like this is much appreciated, Moses. Do you usually work 11.5 hours or is it less due to your slip-seater being late?
I usually average 10.5-11.5
Hey I would to contact Susan. I’m new to trucking
Susan left the company. Do you have any driving experience?
@@driversuccess I do not, but I talked to a cdl company today so I can start working on my cdl. Is there anyway I can get my foot in the door with jb hunt as a non cdl driver first ?? And I don’t mind giving you a call or speaking with you off of RUclips.
Hello Mr Moses, are you doing sponsorship from out side usa ?
Hi! No we don’t
Yo what’s up Moses
What’s up John!!!
Do you ever have live unloads or loading?
Yes we do
If you see that your pre plan might go over 12 hours would you accept because I know planners that will try to make you work 14 here in California.
Nope. Because we slip seat, you’re expected to be back before you hit 12 hrs so your slip seater can use the truck unless something beyond your control happens.
@@driversuccess ok makes sense because in my yard we don’t slip seat. I’m at a brand new yard in Fontana Ca… I started out here at JB hunt intermodal with no experience…3 months in….Thanks to your videos, they have really help me out. Would like some advice because here in my yard they get a little upset when I want to work only 9hrs lol usually on friday’s ….they ask what’s the reason for the early day and I look at them like I thought jb hunt only require 9 hrs and they say it’s peak season….What would you do in that situation ?
@@mrodrig9095 are you still throw is it I’m thinking of going there , do they have more than intermodal, I don’t have hazmat
I’m with prime inc and am planning or looking at jb hunt local or regional. How does jb hunt sign on bonus work? It’s showing a 5k sign on bonus which would cover the tuition I would owe back prime
They pay it out in small increments over a certain period of time.
Did you end up leaving prime
@@rapnewsnow9082 Yes, I left. I'm not with JB hunt. With a smaller owned company. Just recently started. It's a fantastic company so far!
Are you located in Texas?
Yes
@@driversuccess is that the closes JB Hunt hub to Houston?
@@pancitas82 No. I’m thinking there should be one down there but no sure which one would be closest to you. Will find out for you and get back to you on it
Ok thanks cus I'm trying to transfer if there's one in Houston
@@pancitas82 yes we do have a terminal there
I've been with prime Inc for 4 months and JB hunt has local positions right next to me but I'm still under contract. Would jb hunt help me with the contract to hire me?
What is the contract? Can you email me the details so I know what you’re talking about. Usually the contracts just say you have to pay back the tuition cost.
You usually have the option to go anywhere you want as long as you pay them back or work for them for a particular time period as a way of paying them back.
My email is moses@driversuccess.com
So when you vlog do you have to ask for permission or you can just vlog
I would say talk to your manager first. As long as you’re not violating any of JB’s policies then you should be fine. No recording yourself or holding the camera when driving.
Thnaks
Hi Moses whats your typical start time?
2:00pm
@@driversuccess thanks bud
So you have been with JB Hunt 4 Years?
Here in Haslet TX, yes. I did work for them before in CA (2006-2008), left them and went to a different company, then when we moved to TX I came back
Do you get paid by miles or hours ? And how much they pay per mile and hour ? This information is important for those who want to decide to work with jbh or not
I have covered the information in some of the videos. As local intermodal drivers we get paid by the load, miles and what we call exceptions. The pay depends on your state/location.
Do they hire new graduates ?
We do but in specific locations and looks like we have currently slowed down in hiring due to freight being slow
@@driversuccess you think Orlando Fl is one of the areas hiring new graduates?
Do you need hazmat and tanker endorsements to run intermodal for jbhunt?
You need hazmat. They can hire you without it but they will require you to get it
Do the trailers already come secured to the chassis for you or do you have to wait in line
We secure them ourselves
@@driversuccess can you or do you have a video showing how?
I think I do but will make one
Can you bring a passenger with you?
If you’re a regional or OTR driver, yes but you have to let them know who you’re bringing for insurance purposes
