Safe Drivers, Successful Businesses
Safety is everything when you’re behind the wheel of a truck. It keeps your business running, ensures you get paid for the loads you haul, helps you deliver for customers and most importantly, it keeps you and the motoring public safe.
At J.B. Hunt, owner operators contracting with us have access to the tools and programs that they need to prioritize safety at every mile. For drivers like our 2024 Independent Contactor of the Year, Patrick, these resources can make all the difference. Contracting with a company that is Driven for You™, allows you to focus on the things that matter like being safe on the road and building the business you want.

“J.B. Hunt isn’t like other companies I’ve contracted with. They prioritize safety. Not just for me, but for everyone on the road.”
One of the valuable resources available to drivers working with J.B. Hunt is a dedicated capacity coordinator. Patrick's capacity coordinator, Mark, has been there as a resource to help make his work easier.
The level of interaction is tailored to each driver's preference, ensuring you receive any assistance you need at your own pace. Knowing you have a dedicated point of contact provides a sense of support on the road, allowing you to concentrate on driving safely and efficiently.
Safety That Brings You Home
When we asked Patrick why safety matters most to him, his answer was immediate: his family. “If I’m not safe on the road, there’s a chance I could be taken away from them—and I’m not going to let that happen,” he says. As an owner operator, Patrick has built his business on a strong culture of safety. For him, it’s simple – staying safe means getting home to the people who matter most to him.
That commitment doesn’t just protect Patrick. It drives the way he works every single day. Prioritizing safety means making smart decisions on the road, maintaining his equipment and contracting with a company that shares his values.
