    I used to work there , it was ok , but I wouldn't go back for anything.
    The downside was dispatch sort of " backseat drove " your log book
    and interfered with ones sleep cycles.
    I assume they are on E logs now and it's potentially gotten worse.
    But the maybe it's smoothed out , who knows .
    The pay was only .33 per mile when I was there .
    Pretty low numbers

    FYI- just recentley left koch on dec 20th, was having issues with the new fm they brought in, actually heard of several drivers left for this reason, but other than that, i never really had issues with the company, very friendly ppl in saftey and in the shop, and in the next 2 yrs, they will be an all automatic fleet, so i was going to leave then if not sooner, too bad it had too be sooner, i do appericate the time i was there!

    Safety was okay when I was there but the guy in charge took my safety bonus the whole dam thing for a marker light out on a dot insp at a badger scale. So I put in my 2 weeks , and last day ask him if he be interested in meeting me in an alley after work to see if I can get my 380.00 back or whatever he took ... needless to say he was yella , then they called me back 6 months later to see if I wanted back , I asked if he'd meet me to settle and they said maybe we need to let you be , I said uh huh !
