Move the Economy with J.B. Hunt Intermodal

J.B. Hunt Transport is an industry-leading transportation company and the absolute pioneer of modern intermodal shipping. We are actively recruiting elite commercial drivers for the role of J.B. Hunt Regional Intermodal Driver. In this role, you play a critical part in the global supply chain, transferring massive shipping containers seamlessly between massive rail yards and customer distribution centers. If you want a commercial driving job that offers the perfect blend of consistent, high-volume freight, guaranteed regional home-time, and the opportunity to work with the largest company-owned intermodal fleet in North America, J.B. Hunt is your ultimate career destination.

Operational Responsibilities

• Rail Yard Logistics: Safely navigate massive, complex railway terminals. You will execute precision drop-and-hook operations, picking up heavy, loaded international and domestic shipping containers directly from the railhead.
• Regional Distribution: Transport intermodal containers across regional routes, delivering the freight to massive retail and commercial distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and import/export hubs.
• No-Touch Freight: Maximize your drive time. The vast majority of J.B. Hunt Intermodal freight is 100% no-touch. Your responsibility is the safe transport of the container, not the physical loading or unloading of the cargo inside.
• Chassis Management & Safety: Conduct rigorous safety inspections of both the tractor and the intermodal chassis. You must ensure all container locking pins are securely engaged and air lines are flawless before hitting the highway.

Why Drive Intermodal for J.B. Hunt?

• Predictable Home Time: Regional intermodal routes offer a highly balanced lifestyle. You will enjoy consistent schedules that offer predictable home time, often getting you home multiple nights a week and guaranteeing time off on the weekends.
• Unmatched Freight Consistency: Intermodal freight is incredibly stable. Because it is tied to global rail shipping, you don't have to worry about the dramatic seasonal dips that affect standard over-the-road dry van freight. Your miles, and your paycheck, are secure.
• Elite Benefits & Equipment: Drive modern, safety-equipped International or Freightliner tractors. Enjoy comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance starting quickly after hire, along with a 401(k) company match.
