K&B Transportation. BEST OTR COMPANY

Lol, I'll pass

 

At swift?

 

That would make sense if he has his wages garnished by the gov or he takes max advances every week. Because even a driver starting this week at K&B nets around $896-$1,000 depending on your taxes

 

Quick question about weights:

I had a disagreement with one of our company drivers about load weight. I picked up a load of boxed meat (20 pallets, 29,875lbs gross weight) from St. James Minnesota. Looked at inside the try and saw the space and it being 20 pallets, I slid the tandems all the way forward and started rolling WITHOUT scaling the load. Drove all across Minnestota and Wisconsin, and Stopped at the FlyingJ at exit 1 in South Beloit, Illinois. I had to relay the load because the driver was going home. So after dropping and unhooking the trl, I approached the other driver's truck and exchanged paperwork while he was still inside his truck with his windows rolled down, and I then volunteered to tell him that I didn't weigh the load given that it's just under 30K lbs, and that I blew through all 4 weigh stations that I encountered enroute. The guy started arguing about why I didn't scale it. I tried to explain to him, but he kept talking about how I could've been overweight on my drives. It was 3 degrees outside and some cold blowing wind, so I didn't want to freeze, told him there's a cat scale 150ft from him and that he can scale it if he wanted.

So, my question to all of you and to the driver if he's on here reading this; Can you be overweight on a <30k lbs load, 20 pallets and SAME product? I know I don't have 30+ years trucking experience, but after almost 7 years of trucking and a thousand plus loads, I know my weights. What do you guys think?
