  1. Ranks right up there with the idiots that drive Swift trucks, Fed Ex and Western Express. All 4 are among the absolute worst. I spent 30 years as a Teamster Car Hauler but I've been retired since 2002. When I quit, JB Hunt was the laughing stock. While on turnpikes puling my travel trailer, I give those 4 a WIDE BERTH along with anyone hauling garbage. Check Bonehead truckers on Youtube to see what I mean.
