Driver

I'm happy. I have been here 5 years. Before here I changed jobs 2-3 times a year, noone was worth driving for. With the raise in may I will have `14 cents in raises since I started here. Guarantee is always paid as well. Great place to work.

Driver

Been here three years and can't say I have any issues at all.

Midwest Driver

Communication, respect, you are a driver not a number, and I mean I have only driven for one other major company but compared to the other company k&b has shown that they know what they are doing, they have organization, and they don't over work you to the point of being burnt out. And what they say you get is what you really get, not just an empty promise. I enjoy working for this company and I am happy to be a driver for them as they have not steered me wrong or disrespected me.

Truck Driver

Equipment is good and well maintained. Instant response on all repairs. Truck are a bit under powered and limited to 65 mph. Pay: Guaranteed pay of 2500 miles/week. Start at 45 cpm with 6 months experience, higher if more experienced. Salary positions on dedicated account are equal to over 60 cpm or up to $28/ hr. (depends on experience and where you live) Home time is average for OTR - 2 days/ 2 week. Dedicated home time is very regular and about 3 days off after 11-12 out. Miles: OTR averages 2500 (minimum pay is 2500 miles/week). If you are a "go getter" you can get a lot more. Dedicated is about 1900 miles/week - a good deal for the salary. Type of freight: all reefer, mostly Tyson Culture: somewhat regressive dispatch culture. You must know how to deal assertively and professionally with problem dispatchers. Using the chain of command can be very effective in solving problems.
