    Hi, my name is Jason. I'm 27, and I am currently employed with JB Hunt in New Jersey. I've been with them over 2 1/2 years, and I have nearly 3 years total experience. I'm moving to the Chattanooga, Tn area and unfortunately JB Hunt doesnt have anything in the area right now. I'm a local driver here, and have made really good money. Around 75,000 annually. I would like a local position, but regional would be okay too. I'm a certified driver trainer with JB hunt also. I have one accident on my MVR in my personal vehicle in 2018 along with one non serious moving violation for the same accident (I got a ticket for the accident.) I could really use some help gentlemen. Thanks!

    Define your goal, plan and execute. Evaluate and if need, adjust your plan of action. Rinse and repeat....until the goal is reached. After that...it is time to set a new goal.

    Siskin steel, komatsu and volkswagen are a lot of local work in chatt, find out who moves their stuff. Id look up averitt, TLD and H T Hackney. Red classic has a terminal in knoxville, maybe one in chattanooga also.

    Amazon has a distribution center right there in Chattanooga. I also remember JB Hunt was one of their carriers. You could easily get a local or Regional job from it.

    Did you call Hunt's recruiting department directly, and ask them what positions do they have near your new zip code?

    Here's probably the best job you'll find in Chattanooga:
    Click ---->> Apply On Company Site
    You'll make a lot more money than you're making right now, plus no Tennessee state income taxes.
    One driver posted recently that the pay is from $100K - $150K per year.

    Yeah they dont have anything local or regional in the area right now. This coronavirus is reaking havoc on the economy.
