DM is great guy, Most office workers are very friendly and helpful. Poor load planning and equipment is getting to the point of needing replacing.

Pros

Breakdown pay, safety bonus is ok

Cons

Bad load planning, unattainable delivery and pickup times

I am seeing reviews from people with bad driving records on here. This company is fantastic and truly cares about the drivers. They have TONS of home time options and have always worked with me on anything I needed for the many years I have been here. Don't take my word (or the ones that couldn't meet the standards), find their trucks and talk to their drivers. You wont be disappointed

Pros

Attention to detail and they work well with their drivers

Cons

Equipment is aging a bit, but taken care of mechanically

Equipment and maintenance is below average. Trucks breakdown and they can't fix em right the first time. Always something wrong with their trailers, worn out or simply does not work. Check engine on is normal according to the fleet person. LoL! Tell you to goto TA since their own mechanics are too busy, 2 weeks behind. Abuse your time off imo. You often run out of time and they get you home 8,9,10,11 at night on your friday. You complain and their answer is "there is no time we get you home by." Never mind being courteous and respectful. The planners don't plan well. Set unrealistic expectations on delivery times. They don't account for common delays such as time of day, traffic, construction and weight. Every other driver I spoke with about this company say the same things I have said here. Keller has been bad since 2019 and won't change since. They are a bad trucking company and do not treat their drivers well.

Pros

I can't think of any

Cons

Mechanics and equipment Dispatch is arrogant and incompetent Mgmt doesn't care about their drivers imo reflected by their purchase decisions on a fancy new corporate building as opposed to a bigger shop and new trucks. They lie about miles. One week I had 1243 miles. Lol! They told me I would get average of 2200 to 2500 a week. I would not recommend keller to any driver.

Working 5 on 2 off .They run sleeper trucks like a day cab all over Ohio Indiana and into Michigan. 150 to 250 mile runs. Always throw an extra run on at end of the week to make sure I don't get home until Saturday. 2 pick up and 2 deliveries and a possible 3rd pick up in a day.... Looking for somewhere else . Reason I'm on here now .. Had me dispatched to deliver at 10am then empty home. Got to the pick up and they added another pick up and delivery to my Friday. So once again won't be getting home until Saturday. I was really looking forward to being home on a Friday for a change.

Pros

Can't think of one

Cons

Too many non truck driving women working here. Have no clue. Use you like you're company equipment

It doesn't much matter if the equipment is nice if bed bugs are on the truck. Always screenshot your loads. They (dispatch) will change info and not tell you. When you mess up they gaslight you and shuck all responsibility. This company is no longer a quality company to drive for. Please do not complain about real issues. It may lead to your firing.

Pros

The maintenance team is cool

Cons

There's no honor amongst the thieves in the office. Prepare to be gaslit.
