Hello, 16 yr. verteren here. After working for Trans Am a while back, when I decided to go back into trucking, I decided to work for K&B. I love "Boy" trucks, meaning Freightliner Classics, KW's, you know, the big, I own the road trucks as my wife calls them. Anyway, they have this weird mile guarantee, DON'T BE FOOLED by this. But the "I am quitting" clincher is their attitude towards vehicle maintenance. I developed a bad exhaust leak, the "S-Pipe" cracked and the exhaust was finding it's way into the cab. Most companies that I have for in the past take this type of issue seriously, DUH. Well, K&B ran me for 2 1/2 days more before getting me to a shop. Funny thing was, I was Cedar Rapids, at a Frieghtliner shop. If you know the area, then you know where I am talking about. What was happening to me, at night, the highway lights, the glare from them when I would look, these blue and purple spots kinda floated in my vision. Please beware of this company, best choice for refeer my be Trans Am. I have always believed, you can tell alot about a company by how they treat maintenance and maintain their equipment.
STAY AWAY FROM K&B Transport

I thought there stuff was wore out too, dispatch was kind of arrogant and disorganized. My main guy was okay, but have yet to see last paycheck too. Pretty bad when they don't even pay there help. First thing I got there, everyone said they were buttholes to work for. live and learn I guess, sure sit around alot doing nothing but waiting on dispatch, probably the college thing, don't learn much about the real world going to school, guess they have went broke a couple times too, easy enough to do, guess i did not care for the place or i would still be there, did not give em much of a chance though

16 years in trucking and you had no idea of K&B's horrible reputation?

You didn't miss much. A typical know it all driver that thinks he can run the world, there's one in every truck stop.
" I JUST TOLD THEM . . . "
