    Don't get lied to or played on words this company controls your every move even when to go to the bathroom. He's looking for desperate drivers who never had a good paying job or have dings on their records. If you like being told when and where you can stop and it's a minimum of 4 1/2 hrs to 7 hrs on all loads. No exceptions. It's for security for hauling alieve citricell and some high value cancer treatment. You also have to call in your every move even if your stuck in traffic to dispatch and a monitoring agency. You will not be able to pull over in a snow storm or if you need to check a defect on equipment because security always comes before safety; the only way they can secure their freight is if they have drone like drivers. The dispatchers are all rude and you will do 350 to 600 mile team runs some having to stop at a safe zone at midnight for 3 hrs so u don't get there early. No demurage is paid and you will do local work at mileage pay. Dollar general is 2 miles down the road and they will have you deliver someone elses load at times and it pays a little over 2 dollars for a minimum of hour and a half if your lucky sometimes 4 hours. Solos are allowed to run team runs illegally and get patted on the back and teams who miss a turn or don't make the phone call correctly will get docked 2 cpm for 3 months and fuel bonuses taken away. That's for both team drivers even tho one is in the bunk. The owner has control issues and needs meds. The poor drivers that don't know the difference what a good job is and slavery have actually let the owner install Porta potties where a drawer was so they now can crap where they eat and sleep. There's more but if you can put up with what that then you deserve to make that man money

    to me there is no credibility

    there posted to inform drivers about what really happens with a company when they are looking to get hired on. its costly to change companies and nobody likes to be lied to. Maybe theres no credibility to your thought process or reading skills. The first sentence pretty much sets the tone. The owner will tell you they pay 75% of health care costs. What they don't tell you is its AFTER 10 YEARS. They have designated stops. They are mandatory stops because if you don't stop your looking at driving a 10 hr stretch- but if you let them install the porta potty and you slip seat going down the road and crap where you sleep and eat. Do your research- call and ask the right questions or ask a Kl driver before talking about credibility and things you know nothing about.

    Thank you everyone for your imput about kl harring. I live in PA and see their trucks all the time and was on the fence about applying. Johndee yours were the most helpful. I say that because you sound like a bitter ex employee who got fired for incompetence or something along that line and now your mad and lashing out. Maybe im wrong but thats how it seems to me so I can't take you seriously. I talked to a current driver at a truck stop and they were very happy and spoke highly of the owner and the company. Who knows whos right. The driver i spoke to was very convincing. Either way I will put my application in next week.

    Your right Dannyboy I am bitter about being lied to and the job being misrepresented and the owner diggin in the pockets of his employees unjustly. It's costly when you change companies...I talked to one of his current teams that are happy yesterday. In the last 10 months Klh has lost 9 teams and 7 solos that's a fact. Lots of people enjoy working for swift and McDonald's so Klh sounds like a good fit for you. With that kind of driver turnover and the size of the company I would say the proof is in the pudding....hope it works out for you cuz there are some other important issues regarding the type of work and pay you will occasionally do but you will see first hand. Give me a post in 6 months if you last that long. Good luck

    Hmm...I never heard of this company before. A driver warns people to stay away and suddenly a bunch of one-post wonders are showing up immediately afterwards?

    I smell damage control. :biggrin_2558:

    You say damage control like its a bad thing. I only post comments on threads where I have something relevant to add to the conversation. Johndee has an opinion and I have mine. If I feel like my opinion needs to be made known so other drivers see a different viewpoint, then I post it. There are no perfect companies out here, just drivers' opinions of them. For someone to get a better over all picture of a company, they need to see multiple opinions.
