K & B Transportation

I worked for K&B back in 2006 as an OTR guy. I ran the Athens operation for a week or so to help out when they were short on drivers. It was mostly drop/hook, short runs (100-150 mi). Pretty easy. I don't remember the pay for the dedicated guys as I was in the OTR division. The dispatch guys were easy to get along with as long as you kept the loads moving. But who knows what/who might have changed in 4 yrs??
Hope it works for ya.

 

I will say this, I would only go to K&B if you have no other options, seeing as they aren't real selective about who they hire. They certainly wouldn't be my first choice though

 

I worked for them from Oct 05 till Jul 09. I loved it. They had to let me go because of a speeding ticket. But they said I could return when my mvr cleans up. That will be Oct 4th . I can't wait, been away from trucking for 2 years, I miss it. K&B was good to me. Home just about every day. The farthest I went in the last couple of years was Florence,SC. Pay is $170 per day, $900 weekly before taxes. Loved the Freightliner Classics we drove. Only thing I didn't like was having to swap into another truck every few months because of the fact of Souix City being the only terminal with maintanance facilities. But when you're making $$ that is petty. I say go for it my friend, just as long as that's not my spot u take, lol!

 

The dispacthers in the Athens office are Clay, Austin, and Cory. Clay has been there since I started way back in 05. He is real easygoing as long as you move those loads of chicken and don't run the truck in the ditch(common sense) Like I said, real easy job by my standards. But you know like I do some people can't be pleased no matter what you do for them!

 

I have been talking to Jeremy in recruiting he seems like a straight forward guy and I'm thinking I will apply this weekend. I live in Denver so I'm hoping to see a lane or two in and out?

 

Roger that thx

 

Update about K&B Trans. I know a guy who has been there at least for a few years now as of 2/5/2012 anyway. I have talked with Sean a recruiter he claims they pay to start .38 raises after 90 days he says new trucks coming soon. Im waiting on my friend to give me the skinny then I can post more. I have been reading alot of negative stuff about them I hope it's all just stuff from there past and they have changed. I like the fact that the miles are there and the guarantee you 950.00 a week.
the only thing I'm not sure of is the governed trucks

 

Good luck...I doubt they'll ever change..
