    I tried searching on here, but I didn't come up with anything. I think their names just don't work well with the search function here. Just trying to perform due diligence prior to applying to a new company.

    K&B is offering a dedicated reefer run originating less than 15 minutes from home. I am liking the salary concept and the equipment features.

    A&R has dry bulk openings also very close to home. Dry bulk is something I have always found interesting.

    Go with A&R Logistics.
    Dry bulk is easy. Especially easy with A&R because it's not hazmat. A former neighbor worked there and made $72K per year.
    I've hauled dry bulk and some of that stuff can be difficult, such as flour for Bisquick, but those plastic pellets A&R hauls come off easy.

    I agree with these guys. Besides you don't want to work with KB I've talked their drivers. Thought about it at one time. Drivers I spoke to didn't have good things to say. Plus there's better money in tanker.

    Thank you, all. A&R definitely seems like the way to go. Makes me wish I knew about this forum before I went to 'Constantly Recruiting' England.

    Just spoke to a recruiter from A&R, and am filling out the application momentarily. Wish me luck, folks. And, again, thanks for the advice.
