K&B transportation. An honest review

The thing about K&B is that you will inevitably deal with a few operations people who lack "people skills" - to put it politely.
If you can keep your cool and respond to such problems assertively and professionally, you will get better treatment.
Some can't do this - they get in fights, quit and bad mouth the company. This hurts K&B's reputation and makes it harder for them to hire enough high-quality drivers.

It's really too bad. Except for a few poorly supervised bad apples in operations, it is a pretty good company with good compensation.

 

What of the bad ops having the blessing of management? That makes management the problem, not ops.

 

I don't think that K&B cornered the market on folks who lack people skills. Every company has one or more of those types.

 

So to sum it up so far, it seems good ole' Abe was right....run hard get paid...except he couldnt.

Who knew??

 

Hey Dave box,hope you enjoy your new job and good luck.allow me to say this,you have been their three days so stop commenting on your job like you have been their a year sir,I'm not trying to be rude but you don't know #### yet and are very inexperienced!when winter time hits and you make it through it (it gets rough in Iowa,Nebraska,Kansas,Wisconsin etc)then talk to me!I worked for Schuster company for almost five years(Lemars,iowa) and hauled Tyson and bluebunny and can tell you that you #### well best know what the hell you are doing come winter time or you will have a short career and if not real careful a short life!when you get up to donners pass and have to chain up to get out of their let me know and I will give you some props!good luck bro and be careful out their!!

 

I decided it is better to direct my anger toward the individual causing me a problem rather than the whole company. When we take an issue up the food chain, there is usually a satisfactory result.

 

That has not been my general experience. However I recently was outraged by the actions of the head safety guy so I found out who was senior over him (the head logs guy) and got the issue resolved that way.

 

Hey bakari742 glad you like your job.you have the right attitude and drive to be one hell of a driver cause you are not scared to run.it takes the will to want to succeed,getting up at different times,respecting the truck,etc just always respect that truck(it will kill you,the day you think your #### good and have it all figured out get out of the son of #####)and you will go along way.keep safe bro,best wishes!!I be looking for you man!!
