Maybe you should have stuck with engine rebuilding.
Dont you know Astron fightin sticks when you see it. It was a 18-wheeler gud-buddeh dx-pedition...I was traveling the Interstate today and saw an over-sized load with escort front and back. The front vehicle had the mast that checks for bridge and overpass height on it. The truck was not that far behind. My question is, what if the front vehicle finds a structure that is too low for the load, what do they do? This truck had already passed the last interchange (by a mile or two) and the median (or medium as you hear quite often) was such that he could not drive through it to reverse route.
Does the load become a new tourist attraction where it sits, or does the driver hope his back up skills are perfect?
Bunnehman did dun said that...and ahm down on the flipside...que-ssss-El? <bhoo-wheep>

Hello.
JB Hunt is the bottom of the barrel.
You work for them for a few months to get training and experience from a big carrier.
I wanted to go to KBR halliburton but only had construction and cattle hauling experience, nothing from a major carrier.
But KBR no longer hires US citizens as a rule and moved the headquarters to the UAE.
The US outsourced a government contractors jobs.
Hello.
JB Hunt was, and is, banned from quite a few places.
The primarily Mexican carriers are liked or disliked.
You can look at the safety history of carriers.

But JB Hunt is far better than some of the smaller carriers who hire what they do not.
Holding Hazmat and running into Canada both require a clean background and good driving record.
One of my eldest cousins was a truck driver for many years, driving the big rigs up and down the east coast. he is probably retired now. One Christmas even when he and a few of my cousins were drunk, one of my younger cousins, a punk who thought he was a big shot because he learned to drive a truck, walked up to my other cousin (the one who drives the big rigs), gave him a nasty sneer and told him, "You can't drive a truck... you couldn't even haul my fathers lunch". Needless to say a fight ensured. There was a Santa Claus over the house who was actually a cop and friend of my uncles, and who came over to entertain my very young cousins. So as my 2 cousins are cussing and fighting Santa comes over to break it up and quiet it down and Santa nearly gets beat up.
Can you picture this scenario. The house decorated for Christmas, on the TV are Christmas carols and narrators talking of "its a season of joy, peace, and good will", meanwhile 2 guys are cussing and fighting over trucks, Santa is getting beat up... Merry Christmas to all. LOL

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
