Expect to be asked questions that you should be prepared to answer and to answer honestly. They are a good solid crew there and are true to their word. I just recently went thru interview, medical exam, orientation, and am now in training on the road. Had a family emergency (death) and had to take a few days off to take care of things. They were totally standup and got me home immediately to take care of business. Like I said, be honest with them, answer all the questions correctly and you will be treated with respect. If you have nothing to hide, you'll be fine. Good luck!

They have to schedule the exam/physical with the clinic/office, so yes, it is not in the same day. At least it wasnt in my case.

Hello drivers, hope everyone is doing well. I was recently browsing Craigslist Transportation jobs when I came across KKW Trucking in Pomona, Ca. I have looked into this company before, they used to require two years of experience but now they offer training for students who already have their class A and doubles endorsement. I have some question regarding KKW and their orientation process. I already did my interview, drug test, 100lb pull test, and physical examination required for KKW. Yesterday they formally offered me a position as a student )since I have less than two years or experience) and an orientation date for this Monday May 20th. During my interview I asked several question I had regarding their company which were answered, I had a few more for drivers on this forum who might work for or be familiar with KKW.

I have the list of item I'll need for orientation. I was wondering what is covered in their two day orientation, what do they test student drivers on? When do they do their road test? What do they look for on their road test? Do they do a backing test? Do they do written tests? Pre-trip test? In cab test? Air brake test? It's been two years since I've driven a truck or been tested on anything regarding one, I only had a couple months at Schneider almost two years ago. After their orientation you go out with a trainer for 2-3 weeks so maybe a lot of this stuff is covered with the trainer then tested on after the training period? What could have you sent home from orientation?

My other questions are regarding pay. During the training period the pay is $400 a week, seems pretty standard. After training inexperienced solos start at $0.31 CPM. I asked the guy interviewing my about miles and he said they want their trucks to move no less than 2300 miles or so a week. So I was wondering what drivers at KKW are actually getting in terms of miles and $$ per week.

My final questions are regarding routes. KKW runs Western 11 states only, which is what attracted me to this company in the first place. So I wanted to know what are some standards runs someone from Southern California might run and how often could one realistically expect home time (their ad said out 7-10 days, home 2)

So that is all the questions I have at this time regarding KKW, thank you for your time.
