This forum is great for helping truckers decide what company to work for. We looked here before choosing KKW. There wasn't much bad posted, therefore we thought they must be ok. I want to put out the facts from what my husband has experienced to help others decide if this is the right company for them. They pay $400 a week for training, including orientation. Training took four weeks because he was a new driver. Since then the pay has been even less. They say their drivers get around 2500 miles per week. My husband gets an average of 1500. Several checks have been under $250. Had we known this, we never would have considered them. They say they pay $28 for excessive delivery delay, however we have never been paid a dime. The checks are 3 weeks out, by the time you see you didn't get paid it is hard to remember exactly what you aren't being paid for. Now we are trying to keep a close eye on exactly what is being paid. We have to keep documenting things in a journal to keep up with it. Even still, have never seen a dime for delivery delay. The dispatch takes hours to get through at times, especially when there is a problem. They will not answer the calls and go home for the night. They will leave you hanging off the side of the road. "just wait until I call you back for instructions" and never call back. They certainly give the impression that they do not have it together. Sometimes the gas card works, sometimes it costs one or two hours delay to get through to dispatch to get them to "open up the card". They have runs that are impossible to arrive in time. Or they have runs that delivery is days later, with drivers waiting unpaid. They do not pay for the first delivery, the second delivery is $15. Just the other day they asked my husband to deliver someone else's load where they paid for under 60 miles ($18). This ended up taking him over 10 hours, when it was all said and done they did not apprecitate it, and I will be shocked if we see anything for the delivery delay. They just dispatched him and the miles alloted are 200 less than actual. How is that even legal? So it seems they are not to be trusted. Now we are in a situation where he is looking for something better, but with less than a year experience it is hard. Quitting seems like a bad choice, still looking for a decent company to work for. But it seems there are just so many bad companies out there taking advantage of new drivers. The truth is that we will qualify for welfare working for KKW.
KKW a big disappointment
