J.B. Hunt 360 Perks™ will provide carriers and their drivers the
opportunity to receive fuel discounts, Pilot myRewards® points,
discounts on SiriusXM truck radios, and complimentary SiriusXM
subscriptions by purchasing diesel fuel at participating Pilot and
Flying J locations in the United States using a J.B. Hunt 360 fuel
card. They can also receive discounts on preventive maintenance,
labor, parts, and tires from Pilot Flying J Truck Care and
discounts on Goodyear products and services.
“Our company drivers and independent contractors, including
third party carriers and owner-operators, are a large part of J.B.
Hunt’s continued growth and success,” said John Roberts, president
and CEO at J.B. Hunt. “This program focuses on providing carriers
and their drivers with great opportunities to succeed. J.B. Hunt
360 Perks brings together J.B. Hunt, a leader in the transportation
industry, and three of the biggest names in their respective trades
to create what we believe is the best and most comprehensive
rewards program available. This program includes discounts on
brands and services carriers use every day.”
J.B. Hunt 360 Perks lives within Carrier 360, which allows
carriers to optimize their daily operations using machine learning
and artificial intelligence. For example, Carrier 360 provides load
recommendations based on predicted location, historical lane data,
service levels, and personal settings.
“Every improvement we make to Carrier 360 starts with listening
to the ongoing needs and interests of carriers,” added Shelley
Simpson, president of highway services and chief commercial officer
at J.B. Hunt. “Ultimately, we’re redefining the way carriers can do
business by helping them reduce wasted time and create operating
efficiencies. Our J.B. Hunt 360 Perks program is the next step in
helping them improve their bottom line.”
