This job opportunity is specifically designed for established independent contractors who possess an active U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) number and Motor Carrier (MC) authority. The role involves contracting with J.B. Hunt to deliver and install household appliances, fitness equipment, and furniture directly to customers’ homes, ensuring a high level of service, care, and professionalism throughout the delivery and installation process.

The compensation structure is very competitive, offering an average daily rate of up to $750, with a Monday through Friday work schedule allowing contractors a favorable work-life balance.
