Keystone Logistics Inc. is BADDDDDD

Have a friend ready to lease to them, promise 8 months work lined up, says very busy, his first time as an O/O...hope he makes it!

 

Thanks Black this is the only negative thread I could find.

 

Is this the same company as Keystone Freight, part of National Retail?

 

Nope, as long as we're talking about the same Keystone Logistics, Inc.
Is not the same company as Keystone Lines, Keystone Intl. Logistics, or quite a few other ones.
Keystone Logistics, Inc in Indiana has been around since 1999 under that one and only name.
Now, I will admit, there are other Keystone Logistics' that pop up now and again, but only one that has been in business for so long.

 

I was with Keystone for a couple weeks. I will go to bat for them as a Company. They did everything they said they were going to do. And even attempted to keep me on with another agent. My agent was a loser, a liar and a #### human being. However, all actions taken by my agent were his to take and not a reflection of Keystone.

I may still go back to keystone once I'm more self insured for breakdowns. Not a company I would recommend for cash strapped first timers.

 

THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY IVE EVER WORKED FOR......no pay and you will average 80cpm......youll pay for trailer weekly , plus trailer repairs and reefer hours if you haul reefer.....and when you quit , you will not see your last settlement.......they will give you a $1000 hiring bonus, then take it back $100 a week with a so called "ESCROW" they will take your escrow and your last settlements and and thats the bottom line......im still waiting for my settlement for 6 months now.......DONT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!!! They will run your truck to the ground with cheap and heavy freight....and you cant complain because you will sit for 3 days......youve been warned...

 

Bigfoot92 wrote that (as a "one hit wonder) back in January there Vice President @kslo I highly doubt you're going to hear from him.

Sounds to me like your company has more issues than you can address. How about you fire everyone and start over. And buy some freaking trailers!

 

So, a company executive actually posts here to clarify and try and rectify issues (posted by one-hit wonders, no less) and all you can do is rag on him? No wonder most people have little regard for drivers. As for the timing, he wouldn't be the first person to overlook the date and provide a comment or response to an old question. You being the expert of course, why don't you tell us just exactly what "issues" they can't address. No doubt they have some as I am sure they'e far from perfect, but at least they're here. While you're at it, why should they buy trailers? Many, many companies of all sizes don't own trailers.

 

Keystone is a brokerage firm more than they are a trucking company. You are in charge of your own affairs as an o/o. As it should be. If you need every concession made for you to run your business then perhaps Keystone isn't for you.

I personally was put with a snake that is no longer with Keystone. That's not Keystones fault. They tried to set me up with another more established agent. I got my last settlement in a timely fashion. My dad who drove a truck for this agent never got paid. He feels like keystone should've assisted him more in recouping his pay, but I personally worked there and found everybody at Corp to be helpful and straight forward.

Agents are like used car salesman. Know who you're doing business with. And CYA
