Kiswani, Inc. out of South Holland, IL

4noReason, are you in a Freightliner or Volvo???

 

Volvo. First driver in mine. New everything. And clean. Loved it

 

Care to say what your checks are looking like? Could PM me if you don't want the world to know. You can't beat free insurance that's for sure.

 

Yup, you got it down pretty well. And you could keep the 20/40s idk how you guys make $$ between the lifts. I dont cn at all. I love csx 71. Thing is i want to be a o/o but prob not with kiswani and the 20/40s. For now im going to sit back and relax till i see what i want. Might just stay company

 

@4noReason any updates on your pay checks? How many hours do you work? How many miles you usually drive? Give us some details how's your experience so far with Kiswani.

 

Pay check is hard to say. Because it depends on you. Like lets say you do regional and a short local your good to go around 1200-1500. Throw in a saturday easily 1600-1800. Each load is different. Things slowed down though. Some people not working etc. But show em you want to work. By doing another load pick up a,sat or sun and youll see the checks. My hours per day are btwn 8-14. Like today was 1 regional load and pick up my tom load. Left 430am returned to yard 1230pm. Easy and simple and thats 2,rail yards in a day live load facility

 

Hey guys hope everyone is well. New guy here and to trucking in general but not to life lol.

I recently got my CDL 2 weeks ago and have been in the process of looking for a company to work for. I figure I'm going to have to start low somewhere and pay my dues for a while which I'm OK with. Wouldn't be the first time. I'm actually going through the process with Schneider for the Chicago regional Intermodal position but just saw a craigslist ad for Kiswani yesterday. I called them today and they want me to go down there and fill out an app and talk to them.
Hopefully it works out and I'll see you guys out there. No matter what I want to thank you all for all the information you give on here. This is my first time posting but I have been reading for a long while.

 

Well I hope I can get hired on. I did train with an intermodal O/O for a couple of days. Was going to run his truck but after thinking over the deal it wasn't going to be worth it.

I wonder how much training they're willing to give to a rookie driver. Will it be just in intermodal or in general? I know how to "drive" to pass the dmv test to get the CDL which we all know isn't really a lot. All I had to do as far as backing for skill tests was straight back, offset driver side and parallel park driver side. So that's limited as well.
We'll see. I am pretty excited and I hope I can get on with them.
