Well, I've never heard anything about JB Hunt's IT, for good or ill, so...

That must be a weird change, yeah, but it sounds good on the whole. It's a shame the timing didn't work out on this; if I still lived in Memphis, I'd have jumped at the opportunity. (I didn't like living in Memphis very well -- Bentonville seems like it'd be much more congenial.)

I personally like Bentonville pretty well. People from larger cities often complain "there's not enough to do" but I'm a bit of a home-body myself, so that doesn't bother me. One nice thing about this area is you can get a house with 5 acres of land for between $100k and $200k that would be comparable to houses easily twice or three times as much in someplace like Seattle.

I know a little bit about JB Hunt's IT. They use COBOL and Java. They might have some other stuff, but they seem big on those two from what I've heard.
