I know nothing about that trucking company, but I used to hear disparaging comments years ago such as "that is something a J.B. Hunt driver would do."
I think the term jug handle was first used to describe this type of intersection. It got its name from the shape formed by the roadway for traffic travelling on Route 1 Southbound wanting to make a left turn onto Fisher Place.
And then the name just stuck to describe any type of "turn right to turn left" configuration. In NJ, there are still plenty of the type such as in the illustration on the previous page.
