Some recognitions mean more than others. Being named a Best Place to Work by the Washington Business Journal isn’t something a company can campaign for or buy its way onto – it’s determined entirely by the people who work there. Employees fill out the survey. Employees decide the outcome.
That’s what makes it meaningful. And that’s why we’re proud to share that JK Moving has once again earned a spot on the Washington Business Journal’s Best Places to Work list for the greater DC region, ranking 4th in the extra-large employer category.
20 years of this list. We keep showing up on it.
The Washington Business Journal has been publishing its Best Places to Work ranking for 20 years, recognizing the 75 highest-scoring companies across the region each year. Rankings are purely quantitative; employees rate their employers on leadership, culture, benefits, and more, and the scores speak for themselves. Hundreds of companies participate. The ones that make the list are the ones their people actually believe in.
We think that says something. CEO Chuck Kuhn put it this way: “Treating employees with care and respect by offering an outstanding workplace ensures that our customers receive the same level of care and respect.” It’s not a coincidence that a company known for taking care of its people is also known for taking care of its customers.
What makes JK a great place to build a career
The benefits that show up on surveys like this one don’t happen by accident. JK offers competitive compensation across the board. And for CDL-A long-distance drivers, that includes a guaranteed annual income starting at $100,000. Beyond the paycheck, employees have access to:
- A generous safe harbor 401(k) with company-paid profit-sharing
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and ancillary coverage
- Tuition reimbursement and ongoing career development
- A formal Wellness Program and Employee Assistance Program
- Bonus incentives and paid time off
- Volunteer opportunities, including with the JK Community Farm, a nonprofit that grows and donates fresh produce and protein to food-insecure families in the region
A longtime commitment to those who served
JK has also made hiring veterans and transitioning service members a priority. Through the SkillBridge Program, active-duty military members in the final 180 days of their service can train with JK, gaining real-world industry experience while still receiving their military pay and benefits. It’s a meaningful on-ramp into civilian careers, and it reflects a company culture that takes its commitments seriously. JK has earned both the Military Friendly® Employer and Military Friendly® Spouse Employer designations.
Part of something bigger
JK Moving, together with sister companies CapRelo and JK Land Holdings, employs nearly 1,200 people, most of them right here in the Washington, DC metro area. This recognition belongs to all of them.
