To answer your question, the J.B. Hunt / Swift thing is a real easy answer. LACK OF PROPER TRAINING, that, and the fact if you can fog a mirror and sort of half ways speak or read English, YOU'RE HIRED!! Simple as that.

@MattPerk7 I make $4k a week every week, if I drive 1 day or 5. But maybe you just aren't that way..

And it's not oil field.

@BornBW Perhaps you didn't, but most of us younger guys are trying to prove to our bosses that we're worth more than we're making right now and we do things that we aren't expected to do in hopes of getting raises and positions that will better enable us to provide for our families.... but maybe you just aren't that way.

SWIFT AND JB HIRES THESE WOMEN TRUCKERS TO FILL QUOTAS AND THIS IS THE OUTCOME, I FOUND OUT THIS ACCIDENT THAT YOU POSTED WAS DRIVEN BY SOME STUPID WOMAN DRIVER, IT MAKES ME SICK THAT THEY HIRE THEM ONLY BECAUSE THEIR FEMALE, THESE WOMEN ARE PUTTING OUR LIVES ON THE LINE HERE.THIS IS ONE OF THE JOBS THAT SHOULD NOT HIRE WOMEN THEY DONT HAVE THE SKILLS THAT ALL MEN HAVE. ENOUGH SAID

@DirtBoyLouie4 "Two great trucking companies"? lol. In my thirty years over the road, these two companies have earned their bad reputations, more than any companies still in business.
