K&B SIOUX CITY IOWA

60 cpm or $28/hr average for me. Not too shabby
Caveat, your experience may vary.
I would like to return to California but dam, this is a pretty good job.
I have never collected a "recruitment bonus" but maybe that's not a dishonorable way to make some extra $$$.
Just wanna share some gospel.

 

Been here almost a year

 

No, I didn't know about that. And K&B isn't even the best. It's just medium-good for those with moderate experience. Your BF must be happy, having stayed so long, but he could probably make $90-100k/year at WalMart with that much experience.
I think a lot of companies are improving with higher wages and better treatment due to the on going driver shortage.
I'm thinking this would be a good time to start a free-lance recruiting agency. I sometimes talk to people - even at truck stops - who seem to hate their jobs and they just have no idea they can triple their wage in 6 months and get free training. I think their is a business opportunity here.

 

Well, there's always greener pastures. That's the first I heard of them starting a school - thanks for the info.
I'm on salary. It's not huge money, $12-1400/week but the work is easy (40-45 hrs/week) and the schedule is flexible. If i could resign myself to living in Illinois, I'd just settle down here.
Thank god for trucking. This is by far the easiest and best paying job I ever had.
