Keystone freight corp?

I can't speak for all barns. I run a dedicated route out of Minooka, IL. , and very happy with how its run. The few interactions I've had with GA, NJ, and Columbus OH, have been professional/pleasant.

We are a union shop through I.L.A. 1964 (International Longshormen Assoc.)

 

Worked for them years ago on a dedicated account out of Nichols NY. At the time, not union..since they've gotten that contract back from Ryder, I don't know. I had a good run with them...the only annoying thing really was dealing with their yard in Secaucus NJ (difficult parking, no room, yard staff doesn't speak English well and can be exceedingly rude).

 

IDK how much of this info will only relate to my home terminal, or throughout the company?

I pay $10/week for my union dues, this includes insurance fund through Magnacare. I've had co-pays and some questionable uncovered services, but no outragous bills.<---Do your best to get pre-qualified, and covered 100% on some, and small co-pay on prescriptions.

I can't answer how easy it is to get longer shorter runs, Only that we borrow drivers from other locations. Some are only passing through, others will stay with Minooka terminal for days, or weeks.

Good luck Nedrudt

 

That maybe true for the terminal you are speaking with. They do make an effort to keep newer tractors. Oldest I've seen throughout the company is maybe 5yrs. Some terminals have brand new fleets, mostly with APU. IDK about auto? My terminal leases from Penske 2012/13 Volvo manuals.
