J.B. Hunt Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – The process started out by filling out the job application online which was very easy to follow.

After a few days, I received a call from the HR department stating that I was accepted for an interview and scheduling a date. HR kept constant contact throughout the entire process.

The first interview was a phone interview which was a get to know you interview asking questions like what do you like to do for fun do you like programming.

After the interview an on site interview was schedule that was more technical. They asked more questions related to the actual business I would be doing.

Interview Details – they called me for an interview. I scheduled one. They accepted me and then i took a drug test.

Negotiation Details – Nope

Interview Details – Phone interview, panel interview, cross training/job shadowing, phone offer.

Negotiation Details – none

Interview Details – First interview is a phone screening with Corporate HR. If you pass, they will usually tell you immediately that they are going to talk to the hiring manager and recommend you. If you aren't necessarily up to par, they will say something to the tune of "we'll get back to you."

Each hiring manager is different. Some will do an in-person interview and, if you are the best, make an offer within the next week. Others may do another phone interview, followed by an in-person interview, and then an offer if you pass all stages.

For you folks out there who dabble in drugs/alcoholism, this is not the company for you. You are managing truck drivers who must adhere to strict D.O.T. regulations. Any hypocrisy will irreversibly damage your ability to manage the fleet as they will lose respect for you. Also, J.B. Hunt will require passing a hair drug test as a contingency of the offer.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. The manager training program has a set salary. There are a few small areas where there is a cost-of-living adjustment but, again, your salary is not negotiable.

Interview Details – Met at career fair. Got a screening interview the next day on campus. Next, had a conference interview with the upper management directors.

Negotiation Details – I am awaiting to hear back from the company

Interview Details – All day interview process with two new people every hour. There was an analytical test during one of these interviews to assess critical thinking and analysis skills. Overall everybody was extremely nice and made the process much, much better than other all-day interviews I've experienced.

Negotiation Details – The offer was stated as firm, little room on negotiating with respect to salary. Some leeway in vacation and benefits.

Interview Details – Initial Phone Interview. In-person interview with Account Manager.

Negotiation Details – What were you able to negotiate? What advice would you give others considering an offer?

Interview Details – Applied online, phone interview, test sales call, interviewed at corporate

Interview Details – I applied online to JBHunt.com for their manager trainee position in Chicago, IL. At firest I wasn't sure if this meant actual Chicago or the surrounding suburbs.

I was first contacted by recruiter from corporate in Arkansas. She asked me if I was interested in conducting a phone interview, which we scheduled probably 2 days later. After the phone interview, I was informed that they wante to bring me in for a face-to-face interview. I interviewed on a Friday--about 9 days after the initial contact, and had an interview with 2 Account Managers. They asked me a series of questions about my education, past employment, and situational questions. The interview took about an hour. Both managers had been with JB Hunt for numerous years, so you could tell that they had knowledge for the company.

The following Tuesday, I was offered the position over the phone. I didn't accept right away because I was interviewing with another company, and the recruiter never gave me a straight answer on where I would start.
