Kenan Advantage Group - is it a good company?

KAG is a HUGE company with several divisions. I have been with them for 6 months in the Food Grade division and love it so far. I started as company driver while waiting on my new truck to arrive so I could switch to O/O. I signed on for one of their dedicated deals and have been really pleased. I actually have over 30 years driving experience (dry van) but just recently made the move to tankers.

 

As someone who survived a buyout attempt by kag they are a plague upon the tank industry . Got no use for them at all.

 

Do they have driver facing cameras?

 

I would second @REO6205 's thoughts.

We had a driver who worked for KAG out in Washington State. When his wife got a good job out here, they moved and he transferred terminals. After a month he quit and hired on in our intermodal division. He said the new terminal was a toxic nightmare.

 

I worked Food Grade for them out of Huntsville, AL. (palm oil / Soy bean oil / blends) Over all it wasn't too bad of a gig, I had 3 issues. 1) At the time management was disorganized but it wasnt so bad that you couldnt deal with it. 2) the customer, Bunge, was just horrible. especially in the winter. Many delays getting loaded. 3) the thing that sealed the deal for me was that the surge in those smoothed bore trailers was just wrecking my neck.

That said there is only one way for you to know for sure if itll work for you.

 

A buddy of mine hauls fuel for them after they bought out the company he was working for. He says "they're the Swift of the tanker world" and is looking for a new job.

 

This is an example of why I dislike Kenan .
