K & B any info on their guaranteed pay?

A few K&B drivers have posted on here that the guaranteed minimum pay is the real deal. Dozens of companies are doing this now.

 

Be wary of any company that offers a guaranteed salary that carries a mileage statement. While it may seem like a good idea, it never is.

If the economy turns bad. There are only 2 things that can happen. One, you’re services are no longer required. Two, they run you into the ground covering loads that other drivers not on the guaranteed salary aren’t getting.

Iowa is a Right to Work state. They require no reason or probable cause to terminate you. Take that with a grain of salt when you consider any so-called guaranteed income.

 

Read the threads on KB. I recall a lot of drivers saying that guarantee comes with a lot of babysitting by dispatch including calling and messaging you on your 10hr break.

 

Drivers getting guaranteed minimum pay, makes the load planners and dispatchers work more efficiently also. Those people are held accountable if trucks are sitting and not generating revenue, but the drivers are still being paid.

 

Um yeah. I can plan 4 of those trucks in my sleep.

One good load to PA or NJ. Then run them in circles for a month. Cha Ching

Boss happy. But will that driver still be happy with that guaranteed salary?

 

Heard you dont get it unless available the whole week. Check out tyson foods. Can do 1100 -1200 regularly

 

They will have you sit all day and then dispatch you for an all night run. This a pretty good video of K&B

 

To me that's a good thing. Sleep during daytime and drive at night. That's what I like about pulling reefers.

 

FFE pays drivers while on home time if they agree to answer the phone.
$850.00 if you take a week off and agree to be on call. I don't see a problem with that at all.
