J.B. Hunt is currently expanding its Final Mile Services home delivery carrier force, seeking established independent contractors to join their team. This role involves contracting to deliver and install appliances for a major retailer directly into customer locations. Contractors benefit from a market-adjusted fuel surcharge program which helps save on fuel expenses, augmenting their earnings.

The workdays consist of ten-hour shifts, maintaining a balance between productivity and manageable workload.

Prior experience with home delivery, especially white-glove services, and appliance installation is essential. Background and drug screening are mandatory for all team members. This opportunity is geared towards seasoned contractors who are motivated to grow their delivery business with a highly reputable company known for reliable partnerships and consistent work availability.
