Proven results: J.B.Hunt’s OverDrive success

As J.B.Hunt has continued to grow their IC capacity, they identified a need to refine their onboarding and program management a few years ago. Their previous process was manual, lacked scale, and contributed to the organization’s compliance risk.  

With the implementation of OverDrive, J.B.Hunt streamlined their 1100+ IC contractors, 28,000+ insurance elections, 150,000+ system transactions and $7,000,000+ of program deductions on an annual basis. As a result, 90% of their manual “human inputs” were automated through OverDrive workflow. 

Eric McConnell, Vice President of Risk Management at J.B.Hunt, shares the impact of this implementation:  

“OverDrive was able to provide tremendous relief for our IC onboarding team and ensure we were compliant during the enrollment and ongoing management of J.B.Hunt’s various IC insurance and non-insurance programs. Our team is now freed up to continue focusing on growth and engage with the ICs in areas that are of higher impact.”
