    Like I mentioned above, it's just just a recommendation and suggesting how far a driver can go. And we don't live in the ol good days anymore, we live in the era of science and technology. Computer geeks come up with life saving research and send people into space. So yes, I have NO problem with them suggesting me what to do as long as it make sense.

    So you believe it's a suggestion huh,tell your dispatcher you're taking your ten in a different town 20 miles before their suggested stop and see how far that gets you.

    Hey Patty I would just take the break and not actually tell anyone. Did they do this to you when you were at kb? It seems to be working out for Bakari with KB so all is good imo.

    I can guarantee you I've shut down over 50/100 miles before my suggested plan numerous time and I've never got in trouble. K&B is not what some of the past drivers portrait it to be. It's a laid back company that works with its drivers as long as you run your load legally and deliver on time. They are in business to make money and provide safe and ontime service to their clients, and I totally respect that.
     
    carramrod32 Thanks this.

    She did work here for a minute I believe and left. I have nothing but respect for Ms. @pattyj for trying out herself unlike the other guys who have no idea how K&B works and comment like they've worked here before.
     
    carramrod32 Thanks this.

    Here's a random thought - perhaps K&B has a propensity to "overmanage" underperforming drivers to avoid getting burned with a late load or missed appointment. It's one thing to have the "nobody tells me when to take my break" attitude, but it's another to get caught not making a delivery window. And I know certain truck drivers know how to manage their time impeccably, what about those who don't? You know, the ones that sit around at PFJ telling everyone how they're former Secret Service? @Bakari742 seems like he knows how to get it done, so they leave him alone to do his job. The merits of an employer have a lot to do with the employee...

    Watching Abe "Run Hard Get Paid" Atallahs, AKA Sleepyhead video tells me everything I need to know about K&B. My kind of company. Do your job and you'll be fine. Spend your brake in the truck stop playing on YouTube or like Pintlehook said telling everyone that you're ex secret service and the company is gonna babysit you.....as they should.

    If I didn't like sleeping in my own bed every night with weekends off I'd definitely give K&B a shot!

    Glad you're making some money Bakari! Keep the rubber side down!
