This program is designed to lower your operating costs and maximize your profits. J.B. Hunt is the undisputed industry leader in the intermodal market and the number one choice for owner operators.
Your operating costs are lowered by using the various tools/benefits at your disposal. They include:
1. J.B. Hunts fuel program. They let you buy fuel at their costs with no mark-up. If you stick to the fuel plan this can put a lot of money back in your pocket. If you run 100,00 miles a year you will burn approximately 14,000 gallons of diesel. If you save an average of .30 per gallon then you can put 4,285.00 back in your pocket. This saving is calculated at 7 m.p.g.
2. E-Z pass. This is a pre-paid toll pass that lets you run the toll roads. There is no cost to you and it’s provided by J.B. Hunt. This will help maximize your profits by getting you there quicker and more efficiently without having to pay cash, send in a receipt or take a non-tolled state highway or interstate. J.B.Hunt will also offers paid scales.
3. Discount insurance. No one can quite offer the discount on your weekly bobtail and operating insurance like J.B. Hunt can. Their volume discount is un-matched anywhere else.
4. Base plate. J.B. Hunt will provide a base plate and permits to cover your operating area. This benefit saves you around 2,200 per year.
5. Fuel tax reporting. J.B. Hunt keeps an escrow of .01 cpm and files your fuel tax quarterly saving you the hassle, time and expense of doing it yourself.
6. Discount tires and maintenance. J.B.Hunt has some of the best “network” repair and tire providers that will save you hundreds per year on repairs and maintenance. They will also keep a maintenance account for you if you so choose.
7. Preloaded at the rail. No waiting for a chassis or rail maintenance to fix your chassis. With a unit ready to go out when you get to the rail yard, it’s a simple drop and hook or just a hook. In and out times at the rail yards are very short when you run with J.B. Hunt.
8. Clear and concise directions to your customer and set appointment times. About 70% of all loads are drop and hook as soon as you can get it there. If you are ever live loaded or unloaded your time will be compensated accordingly.
9. Roadservice.: With the other guys a blown tire can take a while. A simple phone call to J.B.Hunts roadservice team quickly gets you rolling again with a huge network of tire shops.
10. The most containers of any company. With a wide and diverse bank of customers and enough containers to handle them, J.B.Hunt keeps their customers freight moving quickly and efficiently.
11. Truck Utilization. As a power unit owner/operator you can expect to have all the work you can handle. No sitting at a truck stop waiting for a load. With some of the best load planners and dispatchers in the business you will keep moving.
12. Home time. We all know that being out on the road costs money. J.B.Hunt will get you home for your 34hr or your 48 hr break.
13. Same rate loaded, empty and bobtail on dispatched miles plus fuel surcharge.. If you drop an entire unit at a customer and are dispatched back to the rail you get the loaded + f.s.c. rate. No running around on your dime anymore.
14. Performance bonus. Run all dispatched loads with no safety issues for 30 days and add .05 cents to your monthly revenue.
15. CSA rating. Working for a company that keeps it’s equipment in top-notch shape keeps you out of the scale houses. Their focus on safety and compliance keeps their rating well within the limits. This keeps you running and keeps you safer.
16. Health Coverage. J.B.Hunt offers affordable health and dental coverage for you and your family if you so choose to their owner operators.
As you can see, there are many great benefits to leasing on to J.B.Hunt. All they require from you is a good m.v.r., good verifiable driving/employment history, clean criminal background and a class 8 truck (any age) that will pass a D.O.T. inspection and a paid 2290.
