J.B. Hunt is currently seeking CDL-A Owner Operators to join their Highway Services division.

The position projects gross revenue opportunities of approximately $202,000 annually, appealing to owner operators focused on business growth and financial profitability. Beyond the competitive revenue, J.B. Hunt provides access to a new and improved load board that facilitates efficient load planning and booking. This flexibility and technological advancement empower owner operators to control their schedules and select routes that best match their business goals.

Contractors also benefit from valuable owner operator discounts, including reduced third-party insurance rates, a 100% fuel surcharge pass-through, access to diesel fuel cards, and discounts on tires, parts, and maintenance. These cost-saving programs are designed to maximize profits and reduce the overall costs of operating as an independent owner operator within the J.B. Hunt network.

This role is ideal for CDL-A Owner Operators who value independence but want to leverage the resources and scale of a large, reputable freight carrier. The support provided by J.B. Hunt's extensive network of vendors and their commitment to owner operator success make this contracting opportunity a compelling choice. If you are ready to take control of your routes, maximize your income, and join an established transportation leader, J.B. Hunt offers the perfect platform.
