Path Profiles Career Anything But Cliché W hile trucking may be your passion, it doesn't have to be your life. In fact, life has a fun- ny way of twis ng and turning through the decades, and drivers with J.B. Hunt are fortunate that the company off ers plenty of op ons to fi t various life situ- a ons. Maybe you started out as an over-the-road driver and loved being out for extended periods of time. But then, you met the girl of your dreams, settled down and started a family. Now you can transition into a regional or local driving job and be home for baseball games and dance recitals. As the kids grow up, you think you may want to own your own truck, so you explore the possibilities of J.B. Hunt's Lease Purchase program. Now, you drive along in your own rig, and you notice the younger guys look to you for driving advice. That's when you begin to consider management or tran- sitioning into a safety director position. Later, when the nest empties, you may decide to go back out on the road again. Once you factor in J.B. Hunt's afford- able benefi t options and its well-appoint- ed, late-model equipment — not to men- tion a wide variety of local, regional and over-the-road driving jobs — you can see why many drivers choose the com- pany. Drivers like that J.B. Hunt provides fl exibility and the opportunity to take dif- ferent positions based on their own per- sonal life stages. 22 www.studentdriversplacement.com April '14 Tracy Clark has changed positions several times in her long career at J.B.
