Box Truck Owner Operator

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. is one of North America's largest transportation logistics companies, known for its innovative solutions and commitment to customer service in the freight and logistics industry. As a prominent player in the transportation sector, J.B. Hunt emphasizes efficiency, reliability, and leveraging technology to optimize supply chain solutions. With a strong reputation for providing diverse logistics and freight services, the company supports businesses across the continent, connecting shippers with carriers to deliver goods safely and on time.

The opportunity presented is within J.B. Hunt's Final Mile Services, which focuses on home delivery and installation of large household items such as appliances, fitness equipment, and furniture. This service component is crucial as it bridges the gap between traditional freight delivery and the final consumer, ensuring products reach customers ready to use. The company is expanding its home delivery carrier force and seeks established independent contractors with active US DOT and MC authority to join the team.

This contracting role offers an average daily rate of $700, with a work schedule from Monday to Saturday. Carriers are expected to manage approximately 12 stops per route, covering around 150 miles each day. Payment terms are prompt, with settlements made within seven days, providing reliable and steady income for carriers. Established customer routes ensure consistent business flow, and contractors benefit from access to third-party discounts including those on truck rentals, fuel, and tools, making operational costs more manageable. Furthermore, they can leverage access to nationwide accounts, enhancing business opportunities beyond local markets.

Ideal candidates should have previous home delivery (white glove) experience, including the delivery and installation of appliances. The role requires the use of a 26-foot box truck, with trucks equipped with liftgates considered advantageous. This role requires independent contractors who can operate efficiently, provide exceptional customer service, and uphold the high standards J.B. Hunt is known for in the logistics industry. The position is in-person, reflecting the hands-on nature of home delivery and installation work.

If you're a carrier with a two-person team and a box truck, and you hold the necessary active DOT and MC authority, this role offers a valuable opportunity to partner with a leading logistics service provider. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact the company directly via phone or email to learn more about routes and opportunities available in their area. This is a contract position offering competitive pay and the chance to work with a nationally recognized and respected transportation company.
