You would make more working hourly due to traffic. Other companies have a daily guarantee or hourly plus overtime and double time. That way they don’t rush and are safer drivers. For example $350 for a 10 hour day or $380 for night. Or some companies pay 30/hr plus overtime
In LA, companies are now paying between $28-32/hr plus overtime without any endorsements as a company driver. When you do the math that’s ok. No hoops, miles, games. Just straight hourly plus OT. Safer driving and you don’t get cut short out of your work/money.
@@carloscervantes836 - The reality is there are enough hourly drivers that will sandbag which causes workload for those who already work hard. I’m not into that. In addition many companies expected even require a 13 hour plus day. Maybe even 6 day dispatch. Piece work equipment more effort means more money. Less effort means less money. At J B Hunt most of the year I can work a 6th day if I would like to or need to make extra money. Another point I would like to emphasize is start times.

I start Intermodal local with JB Hunt next Monday at the San Bernardino yard. What can you tell me about that place and what type of pay can i expect there?
@@LuvMussel very busy. different pay package than we have in LA. but i’m sure it’s competitive. just give yourself a month or 2 to figure things out before worrying about the pay. takes some time to get up to speed.
Nate are you still working intermodal ? I’m at the San Bernardino yard , currently with a trainer , I’ve worked before with hub group . But I’m checking intermodal side on jb
JB Hunt is a solid company, particularly for a new driver. Very safety conscious and driver friendly. Good benefits and good equipment. Not the best pay in the industry. Just know that going in and, as a new driver, I think the focus should be on learning. The $$ will come in time.
Hello sir I started 5 months ago as truck driver but with no cdl license, I was driving one of the 26 foot trucks but I’m not happy because they don’t make me feel welcome. I’m talking about some of the guys I work with the reason is because I’m muslim, do you know any company that need drivers for 26 foot trucks? I would really appreciate it.
I’m sorry you’re having a bad experience at your current job. It’s very disappointing that people act way. Unfortunately, I really have no idea about companies with 26 ft trucks. Good luck, though. I’m sure you’ll find something.
I work at intermodal jbhunt here & chicago.. drop in hook 35$ live load 65$ reefer live load 90$ good money here. Way do crosstown here too 14 place railyard
Do you guys do rail to rail crosstowns? I assume being is CA you may not. Here in Chicago for example we’ll take a load out of BNSF and ingate it to NS or CSX. Then it pays $25, $35, $45, or $60 depending on what “zone” it’s in.
Thanks for this information. I got orientation in two weeks. I am a bit nervous, I am fresh out of CDL school. I hope this company has good training I will be needing it
Southgate is great. Very busy. I couldn’t tell you what my take home is. I average about $315/day gross. I think my weekly net, after taxes and deductions, is around $1200.
Average hourly rate in L.A area is 25 to 30 dollars an hour. Overtime after 8 hours. I think you are getting ripped off. I think you would make more money working local for a trucking company.
Thanks for the info, Julio. I’m pretty happy at JB Hunt. They treat me real good, they keep me busy, and the $$ is just fine. I made $80k last year. Btw, we get a lot of other benefits here like paid holidays, 3 weeks vacation, lots of bonuses throughout the year, no forced loads or forced hours, etc. I’m sure I could make a little more $$ elsewhere, but I value the quality of life over the $$.
I don’t think so, Michael. We have a lot of o/o’s driving all kinds of trucks. Old trucks, new trucks, every model you can think of. Best bet is to call JBH and get access to their load board.
I have my own trucks 3 to be exact how can I get loads I'm here stationed in commerce I look at the 360 app but there's not really local work on there who do I contact to get local loads thanks
Thanks! We do, just like a real company. Medical, dental, vision, etc. We get 6 paid holidays and accrue 16-24 pto days per year, depending on tenure. We get safety bonuses, we get daily tenure pay. Etc, etc.
How are the customer loading areas, would you say very tight and close quarter backing? Im at swift and thinking about the transition. I do a lot of local small shipper live loads. And some of these shippers are crazy tight. Is jb hunt similar?
Definitely a variety. We go to a lot of places with big open yards. And we go to some little mom & pop places with tight chaotic yards. What’s nice about JB Hunt is…if I go to a place that’s really bad, I have the option of terminating the load.
I’m at a satellite yard so we operate a little different. I start with a pickup in WI and take it to the rail in Chicago, then take a load out of Chicago and back up to WI. I like to do crosstowns in between if I can. I was curious how the guys who start out at the rail run their day.
Depends on the rail hub. The Los Angeles market is pick up heavy, especially later in the week. But...most days we start at the rail, grab a load to deliver to customer. Then we’ll get a pickup coming back to the rail. Most days we’ll then do 1 or 2 more pickups. Sometimes we’ll get another delivery followed by pickup. We’re also doing a lot of multi-stop pickups that get delivered to Walmart DC. So, today for example, I’m doing a delivery that I grabbed at the rail, followed by a 2 stop pickup going Walmart. I’ll then likely get a pickup coming back to rail from Walmart to finish my day.

Thanks for taking the time to explain how pay works at JB Hunt. In Aug I plan to start my trucking career with Prime Inc and do my year seeing how I like OTR. Intermodal is an option Ive been thinking about if I want to spend more time at home. I'm no stranger to the South Gate yard since I lived my whole life in Downey until about three years ago and used to pass it everyday on my way home from work. Prime has a small Intermodal presence In So Cal and I believe they pay a flat $1300 a week but l think I like JB Hunt's pay structure better because I can earn more if I work hard.
Good luck with Prime, brother! I’ve heard they’re a good company. OTR is good for getting experience and learning how to drive, plan, etc. Let me know how it goes. ✌️
1st time watching your video. Awesome break down. Have a quick question.....how far do intermodel drivers go? Mile radius and all that good stuff.....thanks
Local intermodal is mostly within 100 mile radius. The regional drivers go further…mostly overnight and back. Some of us early morning starters will run longer loads, as well, when needed. Every so often I’ll do a run that’s up to 240 miles one way.
In my experience, the recruiters are truthful about pay. They tend to share median pay for each account. Though, $92k sounds high. I made $80k last year. On pace for $85k this year.
@@thezentrucker ahh I see. Do you think they have it high because of where I am? My account is pa and loads around the northeast like NJ, and ny where cost of living is higher so I’m thinking maybe that’s the reason
@@BabyyJJ I’m not as familiar with dedicated as I am with intermodal. What I can tell you is the intermodal drivers in NJ are among the highest paid. Chicago is the highest, then NJ, then SoCal. I assume it’s combination of cost of living and how busy the market is.
I make around $1600/wk gross. After taxes is kind of irrelevant, since we all have different deductions and benefits costs. So, while I may end up with $1200, you may end up with $1000.
I literally needed this right now i got my class a in june 2021 out of american truck driving school in riverside CA. No one wanted to hire me so i went with a independent contractor with 1099 so i bring home 1150 flat every week doing 5 days a week 12hr shifts. Ive been getting calls from jb hunt but once he said we dont get paid hourly i lost all interest but THIS VIDEO makes a whole lot more sense so i think ima give them a chance i was also informed from Jim the recruiter that after 90 days u can move to different positions for higher pay/more or less hours if thats true??? I just cant make less then 900 a week due to rent and cost of California expenses thats why when he said its not paid hourly i literally stopped hearing what he had to say but again im new and im glad u explained it
Glad the vid helped out. Not sure about moving up to different jobs and more $$. Intermodal driving is what it is. You can make more working nights or weekends. In a year or 2, if you’re a top driver with stellar safety record, there may be opportunity to be a trainer. But, mostly, if you’re a driver you’re a driver.
Great video , I’m working with Schneider intermodal local, for 6 months, next week I will start at jb hunt intermodal. At Schneider we gross average 1200 a week, I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing by moving to jb hunt😉
I think you’re doing the right thing, bro. JBH owns intermodal. Always busy. They treat us real good. And you’ll do better than $1200/wk. Just depends how hard you wanna work. 👍✌️
I'm currently working for Jb Hunter intermodel and I'm quitting already I've been working already for 8 months and you don't make money in this company that's a lie for you to do four or five loads that's crazy bro I do three loads in about 13 hours bro and I'm getting a lot of traffic it's too much traffic right now in la everything is coming back to normal you don't even make $875.00 a week in Jb hunt it's no money in Jb hunt do not work
Sorry it’s not working out for you. If you’re working 13 hrs for $875/wk, you’re doing something wrong. Maybe try doing a ride along with someone and you can figure out how to be more productive. I grossed $1289.25 last week and I can assure you I wasn’t going 13 hrs/day. If you email me I will gladly send you a screen shot of the weekly summary from Drive app...and will then accept your apology for calling me liar. Lol! That being said...if it’s not working for you, you should leave and find something that works better for you. No reason to direct anger/frustration at me. I’m just a dude sharing my personal experience...nothing more nothing less. I wish you the best and hope you find something that better suits you. ✌️

I'm currently at JB Hunt in Atlanta, I'm a Regional Intermodal driver and you do make ok money. My first year I've made 70k, I'm home every night 90% of the time. All year I've worked only five days a week except for the pass two months (Nov. and Dec.), there was also a 2k or 3k sign on bonus.
@@stevenlindhorst7579 the mega carriers have gone all in for the most part b/c they get better gas mileage and easier to hire less experienced drivers. Personally, i prefer the autos…in LA traffic makes life a lot easier.

@@thezentrucker thanks for the response. I am just trying to gather as much info I can. I have my driving exam in a few weeks so just weighing my options. Thanks!

@@blackwulf8793 it sounds about right. Just keep in mind that we get activity pay. So, depending on how much you work and how efficient you are, you could make more or could make less.
Most drivers are either M-F or weekend wrap (thurs-mon or fri-tues). But you could work out a special schedule if you need to. I know a guy that works tues-sat.
Hey, I work on the BNSF LA yard. I am getting my CDL soon and plan on applying at JBHunt. Whats the best chest you've gotten? Hope it isnt too personal to ask
I’ve had a few weeks where I grossed close to $2k. Usually weeks when I work a holiday I can get $1800-1900. But there are drivers who work weekend wrap night shift that can make that on a regular basis.
@@gregoriojuarez1579 benefits are good. We get a good selection of med plans. They pay some we pay some. Plus dental, vision, life ins, 401k option, and a bunch of other stuff. We get 6 paid holidays and accumulate paid time off (12 days year 1, 16 days after year 1). If you do apply, tell em I referred you. I get some kinda bonus for referrals. Email me and I’ll give you my name and stuff.
I know you worked at Schneider before. Did you look into their intermodal before going to JB? If so why did you pick JB vs a transfer to SNI Intermodal? Reason I ask is they both run out of a rail yard near me and am considering going to intermodal. I currently do not work for either company.
Its 2022 company truck drivers now have leverage im making $37hr as a local company truck driver in Long Beach CA and home everyday I work 9hrs a day i can work more if I want too some truck drivers are just happy working for less i guess 👍 ✌
Perhaps, you should consider making some videos yourself and sharing your experience in a way that’s helpful to others. Might be a more productive way to invest your time that drive-by bragging and bashing…

I'm currently working for Jb Hunter intermodel and I'm quitting already I've been working already for 8 months and you don't make money in this company that's a lie for you to do four or five loads that's crazy bro I do three loads in about 13 hours bro and I'm getting a lot of traffic it's too much traffic right now in la everything is coming back to normal you don't even make $875.00 a week in Jb hunt it's no money in Jb hunt do not work
Sorry it’s not working out for you. If you’re working 13 hrs for $875/wk, you’re doing something wrong. Maybe try doing a ride along with someone and you can figure out how to be more productive. I grossed $1289.25 last week and I can assure you I wasn’t going 13 hrs/day. If you email me I will gladly send you a screen shot of the weekly summary from Drive app...and will then accept your apology for calling me liar. Lol!
That being said...if it’s not working for you, you should leave and find something that works better for you. No reason to direct anger/frustration at me. I’m just a dude sharing my personal experience...nothing more nothing less.
I wish you the best and hope you find something that better suits you. ✌️
@@thezentrucker Hey I'm looking to start Jb Hunt as local feed mill driver. Do you have any advice I have a tear of otr stop due to my dad passing been off a year thinking of going back hint jb hunt jib but I never ran feedmill. So if you have any advice please let me know. Thanks in advance.
@@PeaceMakerny1 sorry. Don’t know anything about feedmill. I’ve done dedicated regional and local intermodal.
I'm currently at JB Hunt in Atlanta, I'm a Regional Intermodal driver and you do make ok money. My first year I've made 70k, I'm home every night 90% of the time. All year I've worked only five days a week except for the pass two months (Nov. and Dec.), there was also a 2k or 3k sign on bonus.
Is it true jb hunts trucks are all automatic tho?
Mostly autos here at South Gate. Still have a few older trucks that are manual. But the manuals are going the way of the dodo bird.
@@thezentrucker knew it was coming but didn't realize how common they were
@@stevenlindhorst7579 the mega carriers have gone all in for the most part b/c they get better gas mileage and easier to hire less experienced drivers. Personally, i prefer the autos…in LA traffic makes life a lot easier.
Do they take people fresh out of driving school?
They have a 6 week “apprenticeship” for new drivers. If you’re interested, hit me up on email with your name and contact info. I can put in a referral and a recruiter will call you.
@@thezentrucker thanks for the response. I am just trying to gather as much info I can. I have my driving exam in a few weeks so just weighing my options. Thanks!
@@KevinG1994 good deal. Good luck on the test. ✌️🤙
@@thezentrucker thank you!
Thanks for the video first time watching your video. I’m starting in 2 weeks. 3 months experience, not the best at backing but getting there. Hoping I can do great here
Welcome aboard, Rocco! You’ll get good at backing real fast. Just commit to 6 months…it takes about that long to really get locked in and start maximizing your efficiency. Feel free to email me anytime. Happy to answer questions along the way. 👍✌️
@@thezentrucker
Hey Nate bout to start with JB they said 81,000 a year for intermodel Seattle is that accurate?
@@blackwulf8793 it sounds about right. Just keep in mind that we get activity pay. So, depending on how much you work and how efficient you are, you could make more or could make less.
Can one get a Sunday Monday off??
Most drivers are either M-F or weekend wrap (thurs-mon or fri-tues). But you could work out a special schedule if you need to. I know a guy that works tues-sat.
@@thezentrucker I appreciate you
Hey, I work on the BNSF LA yard. I am getting my CDL soon and plan on applying at JBHunt.
Whats the best chest you've gotten?
Hope it isnt too personal to ask
I’ve had a few weeks where I grossed close to $2k. Usually weeks when I work a holiday I can get $1800-1900. But there are drivers who work weekend wrap night shift that can make that on a regular basis.
@@thezentrucker So net would be around 1500? I am definitely jumping over
@@gregoriojuarez1579 would be tough to NET $1500. You can GROSS $1500, though.
@@thezentrucker I appreciate you, how are the denefits??
@@gregoriojuarez1579 benefits are good. We get a good selection of med plans. They pay some we pay some. Plus dental, vision, life ins, 401k option, and a bunch of other stuff. We get 6 paid holidays and accumulate paid time off (12 days year 1, 16 days after year 1).
If you do apply, tell em I referred you. I get some kinda bonus for referrals. Email me and I’ll give you my name and stuff.
I know you worked at Schneider before. Did you look into their intermodal before going to JB? If so why did you pick JB vs a transfer to SNI Intermodal? Reason I ask is they both run out of a rail yard near me and am considering going to intermodal. I currently do not work for either company.
Nope, didn’t realize Schneider had intermodal. I just went to JB cuz I knew they had the biggest footprint in intermodal of any company.
Its 2022 company truck drivers now have leverage im making $37hr as a local company truck driver in Long Beach CA and home everyday I work 9hrs a day i can work more if I want too some truck drivers are just happy working for less i guess 👍 ✌
Perhaps, you should consider making some videos yourself and sharing your experience in a way that’s helpful to others. Might be a more productive way to invest your time that drive-by bragging and bashing…
I mean $37hr for 9 hours a day ain’t bad for the week
@@Goku_Kiyosaki lol…joe is fos, slurpee. in my experience, the dudes who brag about how big their pecker is, always turn out to have the tiniest…😂🤣😆
Are you still with JB Hunt? I want to go the CDL school in LA and work for JB Hunt Intermodel in South Gate. I live in Orange County. Any recommendations of suggestions on a trucking school??? Thank you Sir..
I am. Still with JBH. Still doing intermodal and training new drivers. I can’t really help you with picking a cdl school. I got mine through Swift.
@@thezentrucker Ok. I went to JB Hunt employee reviews and there was a guy who gave a review saying JB Hunt hired him right out of CDL school with no experience and he’s doing intermodel in South Gate. I hope they will hire me with no experience. Im a Marine Veteran; hopefully that helps.
@@BW-kv9wj yeah, they do hire drivers right out of cdl school sometimes. Depends how aggressively they’re hiring, time of year, how busy things are, etc. they definitely value military experience, so that should help.
@@thezentrucker Thanks man. I’m working a security job in Beverly Hills and I net $2450 every 2 weeks. But there’s zero benefits and it’s boring and I don’t like it. Plus, I’m putting in 60-72 hours a week. It’s good money but I’d rather drive truck.
@@BW-kv9wj I Understand, brother. Get to a certain pt in life where it’s not about $$ anymore. It’s about quality of life. 👍✌️
