Keim TS, Sabetha, KS

i was just recently hired by keim ts... was very impressed with the facilities and equipment and am very excited for the opportunity. have learned that all sites like this are full of negative reports. If you feel like that you have made the right decision then you probabley have i turned down tmc to go here and have never been so happy about a decision but everybody is different and everybody has there own opinions

 

i was prehired and then the idiots called me the week before orientation and they said they hired too many new drivers sorry. I have talked to many drivers since they said be glad i did not go. they left me hangin i am lucky i had another place to go.

 

well sorry about what happend to you.. i hope its not the same for me i turned down a good company for what i feel is a better company so i guess we will just have to see what happens i guess if i leave a post on here where im pissed off we all will know what happend

 

I worked for Keim and had no problems....averaged $1k/wk...never turned down a load, they do not run forced dispatch...here's the deal...TMC,Keim or whoever...you are hired to do a job most do not want...you are away from family, spend a lot of time OTR, have a lot of time to worry about everything...this career field is not for everyone...due to massive furloughs thoughout the professions an influx of "new drivers" are present.

I have held my CDL since 1977..and learn something new everyday. Keim does have nice equipment...KW660's with 53' trailers..running the eastcoast requires additional caution as they made their streets in the 1700's...narrow and forever. Currently you will want to run as much east as you can to earn the better $$$..bottom line...crossing the GW pays an additional $100...beautiful country...and nice peeps there...do not be overcome by everyone's bad experiences...no worse than driving through Topeka during rush hour.

I would suggest Keim to any new hire...pay attention...and no matter where you begin...be careful..learn,learn,learn...be careful...be safe!

 

thanks for the positive feedback. i appreciate it and am looking forward to the opportunity i know theres going to be some sacrafices with the personnal life but thank god iv got an amazing girl that understands the reasons for going otr. i was really impressed with this company and cant wait to start driving for them

 

I used to drive for keim ts with my ex husband. We came from Koch when they closed down. I do believe that some of the people are very rude and cruel there. I know most of them from the old days. Most of the dispatchers at one time was one of us. Be aware of them please.

 

I couldn't agree more...I was blessed with an amazing wife that completely understands that for the financial survival of our family, I have no other option straight out of school here in central Iowa but OTR through either KEIM TS, Oberg, or TMC. Staying as far away from Western Xpress and Decker as I can. Heard a lot of bad stuff locally about their management.

 

I know a guy from sabetha kansas that works for keim and his dad does also and they are both happy...

 

i worked for Keim almost two years ago, i made excellent money while i worked there. as to saying that the people are rude and mean, NO. this company welcomed me from the day i started to the day i left. now two years later and my wife is finished with school and we are buying a house my first and only choice i want. KEIM T/S i called them back talked to peggy and randy. everything is set to go and i am excited as they are to go back to the keim family.
