K&B Transportation

I totally agree with everything you said,but kb sees things differently.I on the other hand don't let dispatchers and companies intimidate me.I've had a few arguments with dispatchers at kb.Even quit twice and they called me back.Bet if I was to call Monday asking for my job back i'd start the next day.But i'm not that desparate for a job.

 

I've been with K&B 3 months and I have a good job. The OTR guys have it a little tougher and get paid a bit less than me. Most companies have different accounts/jobs and it's up to the applicant to find the best one for them.

I get a salary of $1145/week for about 50 hrs/ week of work. I drive 2100-2400 miles/week. That comes to about $23/ hour or $.49/mile. I think that is pretty good for hauling groceries. I'm supposed to be off 2 days every 2 weeks but it is more like 3 days and I still get full pay. The insurance is good too.

would recommend this company.

 

Good deal glad kb is working out for you.

 

K&B is a #### company. Night dispatchers are complete ########. The guarantee sucks. 1145 per week isn't enough. They lie when recruiting and say you can easily out earn guarantee. I call ########. Not happening. Stay away from this company.

 

If $1145.00 wasn't enough then why did you drive for them?it says on the a,d what you would be making.you can make more or less depending what lane or account you're on.they re not going to just give you the money without strings attached.

 

Because the ad said that you could easily out earn the guarantee patty. I found that to be a bold faced lie. What didnt you understand? Now I run between 3500-4000 miles a week with my current company. Life is better here. K&B was a complete waste of time and effort. I'm betting you work for them in some capacity.

 

jyes I did drove for them locally for two yrs.I didn't get paid salary like a few local drivers did..a friend drives for kb locally been there 13 yrs he gets paid salary.one week he works close to 70 hrs and the next week half that.whatever your ad said you should have asked someone at kb how you can make more.but that's water under the bridge you have a job your happy at so that's the main thing.

 

Hey, still with K&B almost 1 1/2 years now.
I guess they work the new guy harder or they were short of drivers when I started.
Now, I average 42 hours week (over the last year) and get 1200/week - every week, guaranteed. Any time I choose, I'll stay out and get 1400. I only drove 98.000 mile in the last year which comes to 65CPM for all miles.
Excellent maintenance, easy job, great relationship with dispatch (that took a little work) and over $28/hr for all my time.

I know there are ways to make more each year but for an easy, low stress, low hours job ...this is pretty darn good.
