Driver Friendly Programs

Family Rider Policy
Hunt Transportation has one of the more progressive rider policies in the trucking industry, allowing specific family members to ride along at no cost to the driver. Authorized passengers under the family rider policy are:

• Spouse, which includes "common law" spouse where permitted by law 
  or
• One child, stepchild, foster-child or grandchild 4 years of age or younger, provided they are accompanied by the non-driving spouse
  or
• One child, foster-child, stepchild or grandchild 5 through 18 years of age, with or without the non-driving spouse.

Generally, we allow only one authorized passenger on the truck at any time except children age four or younger who must be accompanied on the truck by the driver's spouse. All authorized passengers must be cleared and authorized by the Safety Department before getting on the truck.

Home Time
We believe it is important to get you home frequently. At Hunt Transportation, you can expect to be away from home for one and a half to two and a half weeks, depending on where you live. You will earn one day off for every six days of driving. Non-vacation home time will generally be limited to a maximum of four consecutive days unless, as a result of your high level of productivity, your fleet manager approves additional time.

Regional and dedicated fleet drivers who live in the region or where the dedicated fleet operates are generally home or through their home more often than national drivers.

Load Select Policy
All Company Drivers, Owner/Operators, and Fleet Contractor Drivers working for Hunt Transportation will be treated equally with respect to the dispatch of available freight. Our objectives are to provide quality service to our customers, minimize empty miles, maximize the productivity of our drivers, and efficient utilization of all available equipment.

As a driver, you will receive one preferred load from dispatch. If there is more than one low deadhead, preferred load available, you may be offered a second or possibly even a third load. Preferred loads are determined by the Operations Department Staff and Management based on the following:

• Quality, on-time service to our customer.
• Driver's ability to deliver the load on time within the legal requirements of DOT.
• The optimum match of all available freight and equipment to maximize driver and equipment productivity and minimize deadhead miles.
• Dispatching of equipment as it becomes available. First empty, first dispatched.

Orientation
As part of the employment process, all company driver employee applicants cleared for hired by Crete Carrier Corporation will be required to attend a two-day orientation in Lincoln, NE. Transportation, lodging, plus $140.00 to company drivers will be paid by the company upon successful completion of orientation.
