That means you can expect the respect you deserve and access to resources that can help you support your business. Owner operators who contract with J.B. Hunt have a dedicated capacity coordinator who is there to help with questions about loads, routes, customer locations and anything else you need to know about your load planning.

For Evan, an operations manager at J.B. Hunt, being able to assist owner operators who call with questions is one of his favorite things about his career.

“By far my favorite part is being able to make a positive difference for somebody,” he said. “And that could be as simple as finding like a little hidden gem of a trailer that was able to help.”

Owner Operator Discounts

In addition to some of the best jobs for owner operators, we work hard to find discounts that can add value to your business. The fuel discounts that are available after contracting with us are some of the best discounts in the industry. And our Find an Asset technology helps you locate trailers and get back on the road faster than ever. Along with access to third-party maintenance and Goodyear® tire discounts, you can save a significant amount on your bottom line.

But one of the biggest advantages owner operators love about J.B. Hunt is easy access to our load board and the flexibility to plan your routes, choose your loads and run as little or as often as you like. With more freight available than ever, now could be the perfect time to contract with J.B. Hunt.

“J.B. Hunt gives me the opportunity to have control of my own schedule, and they actually gave me the chance to start as an owner operator.”
