Good good company a&s kinard

Do they require recent experience? I ran OTR in 2013 but got off the road. Got depression and home sick. Ran 6 months clean and been doing CDL yard work ever since. For six months , last year, I worked for transforce that was requiring us to leave the yard to pick up trailers ten minutes away so I dunno if that'll count for #### lol. Not the safest thing to do in a yard truck but Steelcase didn't give a crap.

 

You shouldn't have a problem getting in. You might have to run (on the account) with a trainer though.

 

That's what I have heard for years. If your local they run the sh** out of you 14 to 16 hrs a day, go home sleep,sh**,shower and shave for your 10 and right back at it. If they paid OTafter 40 hrs wouldn't be a bad gig.

 

Ewwww. No, thanks.

 

I'm guessing this means they run 24/7 unlike the intermodal companies(i.e. BEST Transport). I'm curious how much their regional guys bring in.

 

Are you talking Best Transport out of NJ??

 

It was a good company equipped with those beautiful blue KWs when that old man was still alive. But his son had to be stupid enough to sell off the company to A&S and have idiots behind the wheel who only drive with autos. My 04 T600 is an ex-Kinards truck. Well speced truck.

Where those Kinards decals were, I can still the see name on the roof and the doors. [GALLERY=media, 16582]2004 T600, bought it at 715k miles, have it since Nov 2011, currently my dad drives for dry bulk use, roof cap off (for now on until we go back to dry van). by russtrucker posted Feb 18, 2014 at 1:25 PM

Yup. Supposedly they're getting a yard in Mount Pocono. Supposedly. But, if they do, I'm thinking of signing up if i don't already get a new job. Heard a few drivers were going to jump ship if they left Scranton/Throop, but looks like BEST wants to be closer to the companies it has accounts with in PA. Everything is up in the air.

 

They were good when kinard owned them.they want to pay 17-18 per hour straight pay no thanks!

 

Yeah I just resigned from them couple guys live in Tobyhanna and surrounding areas who drive for them currently.
